    Sweet Pea, can I see why I think of it as a Draw? Because they'd effectively cancel each other out for long portions of the game, both fighters styles would make the other be effective only in spurts.

    I don't know how it would turn out, but it is one of the more intriguing matchups in boxing history.

    i can see pryor just throwing and missing but getting through more an more and winning but i can also see pea moving and nuetralising pryors workrate with clever movememnt

    IMO they are complete opposites

    People seem to be underrating Peas own workrate...

    Pea often threw more punches than Pryor per round and fight actually, as he was more consistent with his workrate. Pryor was just better in spurts and sequences. He'd often take breaks in rounds, look to box and move, flick out the jab, etc. When he got going his pace was about as high as anyone, sure, but your statement was way off.

    i know it was an exaggeration

    pea dosent look like he throws as much as pryor but if he throws more on average he must throw alot.

    pryyor often does look to box but when he gets going he is amazing in terms of workrate

    Whitaker would win this one. He would make Pryor look ordinary and wild. I know it sounds crazy, but Pernell was that good.
