    Aaron The Hawk Pryor vs Manny Paquaio at 147 lbs, both prime, 15 rounds. Would Manny's speed be too much for The Hawk? Would Arron beat an inconsistent Paquaio?

    The fight would be ideal at 140 rather than 147.

    I would pick Pacquiao in a war. His southpaw stance and straight left hand would be key.

    Pacquiao (the eventual welterweight, kinda) too much power for Pryor to take.

    No, not 147. At 140, Pryor wins a decision in The Mother of All Battles.

    I believe you meant to say 140. That would be an amazing fight. Two come forward fast paced fighters with unbelievable gas tanks. I think Pacquiao takes this one in an absolute nail biter. The difference in this fight is defense. Pryor’s defense wasnt the greatest. He kept his chin out a lot and was often susceptible to getting caught and dropped, though he always got back on his feet
