I love the result of the poll. In the time of the worst Pac hype just after the Hatton fight there was a similar poll and Pac won overwhelmingly. When I wrote that I expect Pryor to beat Pac for several reason I was dismissed as an idiot by countless *******s. I have to say by know some of those guys left the forum and the Pac fans that are left know more about boxing than a couple of years ago. Anyway I think that Pryor is just as tough as Pac, more of a natural JWW and I think that he had a bit more of boxing ability and even higher work rate. In a 12 round fight I see Pryor UD. In a 15 rounder I can see Pryor stopping Pac somewhere around the 14th.
I think Pryor wins, possibly stopping PAC. They are both similar in style, in terms of the ability to throw non stop punches, but as relentless as Pacquiao use to be in spots, Pryor is non stop pressure, every minute of every round,and he could also box when he wanted. Pac has the edge in footspeed, but Pryor has better overall movement. Would be an absolute war, especially at 130-135.
What does this have to do with the fight. It's cause you've never seen an Aaron Pryor fight other than on Legendary Nights.
Aaron Pryor then...Roach would never let it happen. But Aaron Pryor now, Definitely....and even then he'll request a Catchweight.
I voted for Pacquio. I first thought Pryor, but that would be based mostly on Arguello wins. Pac has done more, lasted longer. Arguello also was slowing down just a bit when they fought, and had moved up from feather weight over years. Pac having so many defenses puts him over Pryor.
