    This matchup has been done 1,000 times.

    I'll always favor Pryor. But I can't argue much against anyone favoring Pac.

    Would probably be one of the greatest fights of all time. No matter who wins.

    Pac. He's on a different level for me. I've always found Pryor overrated.

    The only two guys I can think of that used that 1-2-1 combo all the time. Pac is Pryor's southpaw alter Ego. Give Pac the edge due to being a lefty, but, coin toss.

    I can't picture anyone at 140 trading inside with Pryor, he'd rip through Pac there and would force him Pac on the ropes.
    I'd expect Pacquiao to rally back and do well, probably drop Pryor but get hurt by a big punch and taken out.

    Pacquiao has every opportunity to KO him when he rally's

    As exciting a fantasy fight as it gets. You'd feel guilty for watching it. For his longevity, a slight edge to Pacquiao, but wouldn't bet a penny on it.

    Being from Cincinnati and loving Pryor and seeing all but 1 pro fight of his in person and 40% of his Amateur bouts in person and training at his gym and working there for over 2 years, Pryor beat ZERO ATG's anywhere near LW or JWW.
