    At light welterweight, Pryor by UD, or late round stoppage.

    I have to think that mostly likely Pryor grinds him down, I don't think Buchanan could hold him off or had the stuff to seriously hurt Pryor.

    Pryor was comfortable at lightweight.He only moved up because he couldn't get a title shot.

    This is close. Duran only stopped Ken because of a low blow. Duran was better than Pryor defensively, and El Cholo also applied a far more dedicated body attack. Both would hit the deck in this one. Ultimately, boxing science prevails over relentless pressure. Buchanan by close 15 round UD.

    as already stated pryor could nicely make lightweight and would beat buchanan at either weight

    Why is it you think Ken is very overrated butt?.Not looking to argue, just curious on your thoughts.

    Why is it that every time Buchanan is matched up with a puncher everyone thinks it's a given that (provided they pick the other fighter) Ken won't survive the distance? He was incredibly tough and resilient.

    Buchana is tough as hell, and good defensivly. I just dont like him in the face of such a relentless attack where he dosent have the tools to hold it of. He dosent have the punch to keep Pryor off and Pryor's athletic ability make it hard for Buchanan to 'outbox' him.

    A Pryor UD sort of 10-5

    Im not of the opinion Pryor just runs right through Kenny because he doesnt have much power.

    I think Kenny's skills and movement are going to really give Aaron a hard time. And he is just not some boxer type that will break as soon as you catch up to him..as already mentioned he is tough as nails, and very proven in this regard.
    He isnt going to be standing right there like Arguello was and giving Pryor spots to tee off on him...He is smart enough to know what the best gameplan will be for this fight.

    But Pryor wins it fairly comfortably on the cards IMO..10-5'ish sounds about right. Too quick, unconventional and intense for Ken to do much offensively..He will hang in there all the way but I cant see him overcoming Pryor with what he has.
