    Pryor would win and entertaining slugfest which ends in a KO in the mid to late rounds.

    Do you really think this fight would go 13 or 14 rounds? You're kidding....Pryor would be all over Ricky's ass...wouldn't go 7 rounds.

    Pryor was just a better fighter and would beat Hatton handily.

    I think this would be competitive. Hatton would chug forward putting on the pressure and exhibit a high work rate. Pryor would dance, give angles, try to get in and out. It would behoove Pryor not to engage Hatton on the inside. I think Pryor's edge in speed and athletism would guide him to a fairly close decision victory.

    Hatton was not a ham and egger. He was a very , very good fighter with a excellent niche talent, and very good power.

    This is a bad fight for Pryor. Pryor is not an inside fighter, he wont be able to get set, nor get leverage on his already wide punches.... Hatton is a very tough nut to crack.

    I think he takes this...no joke.

    Hatton loses to a textbook fighter with straight punches and excellent counter punching ability ( speed or power). The Hawk was a stalker and could bang, but not in close. he would nail fighters as they were backing up.

    The real question for me is who would be stronger in the clinches, thats who will set this fight, Hatton I think pushes Pryor, and Aaron does not get Hatton on his back foot enough. If Hatton can overpower Aaron in the clinches, and he can start landing those vicious body punches....

    No doubt Aaron will be able to catch Ricky too, and do his thing enough

    This is a really good fight.

    It would be more intense if they could fight for a big bag of cocaine.

    I'd definitely pick Pryor if that was what they were fighting for.

    Pryor harder and faster. Hatton would really have to slow Pryor down with liver shots or he would be stopped by a barrage in the 6th. Must say both could box if they needed too, but Pryor was a level above with a better chin. I could see Hatton getting Aaron Pryor's attention either those left hooks for a while. Great fight

    I think an even better fight would be Pryor against Kostya Tszyu
