    Am I picking on Floyd ? Just a bit. When you keep shouting to the masses,TBE, you asked for it... Does anyone see PBF being able to keep the windmilling Pryor,off of him ? Pryor (who could box like hell when he had too) would come screaming out the gate. Ignoring PBF,s attempts to potshot or clinch. He would pour in a ton of shots on PBF. And Pryor could bring it for the distance and carried KO power late in the fight too. Unable to keep Pryor at a safe distance and Pryor incredibly busy with his hands and feet. Too much everything for PBF. No mind games for Pryor and no getting discouraged either as it takes him a few rds to get to PBF. Hawk time it is as the ref rescues PBF in the 10 the rd !!

    I think Hawk would win. I think Floyd's a very good fighter but I think his kryptonite is a busy pressure fighter who just keeps coming at him and has the power to hurt him.

    Clear advantage for Pryor, but I don't see a stoppage here. Somehow Floyd makes it to the last round on his feet.

    As much as I dislike Floyd, I think he lasts the distance thanks to his amazing reflexes, movility and superior defensive game... so he survives but loses by UD

    Considering what Pryor was able to do against Hearns, Arguello, and Cervantes I'd favor Pryor. Mayweather has never fought a fighter as good as Pryor and Pryor has beaten guys as good as Mayweather. Plus, I think Pryor, Duran, and Pacquiao all have a lot of the skills and athletic abilities which Floyd is weak against.

    Mayweather easily. Pryor was the definition of wide open.

    Floyd had the tighter defense but the Hawk had mad aggression and energy and could box, tough battle for Floyd when the Hawk was at his best. Hawk w15 or RSC 14

    Hatton gave Floyd a decent fight and he isn't in Pryor's league. Pryor's ability to do the unexpected would be a factor, too. It's one thing dodging one dimensional attacks from Guerrero or Canelo, but Pryor had a crazy style that would have even Floyd guessing!

    I agree the hawk was a yesterday's pacman far to aggressive for TMT.

    Funny how people think Pryor is either to wild or wide open for PBF. If you wanna have a chuckle, look at the trouble PBF had with Castillo... Castillo ! Insert Pryor, nightmare for PBF indeed... Does anyone really think that PBF could keep Pryor at bay and off of him, seriously ? Pryor would walk right through ANYTHING PBF would throw...

    Well, Pryor needed a bottle full of amphetamines to beat a past it Arguello who never accomplished anything at 140. It's easy to nitpick one of Floyd's performances because he's been fighting world class opponents since the late 90's. Pryor, on the other hand, had a career defined by three fights against two guys who were past it, once on amphetamines, and still taking a pretty good beating at the hands of Arguello.

    Didn,t know you were a Doctor and in the corner that night ! You do realize that Floyd had his hands full with Hatton AND Castillo,both who couldn,t have carried Pryor,s spit bucket ? FYI, talking some punish from a TRUE ATG like Arguello is no disgrace. Can,t we all just agree that PBF would NEVER put ink on any contract with these types of true champions ????? BTW SRL and Hearns destroy Money as well ;)

    He had his hands full with Hatton? FOH. Hatton's head looked like a Pez dispenser that night.

    He beat Castillo 8-4 or 9-3 in the rematch without any risk of losing and 7-5 or 8-4 with a broken hand. Pryor didn't do **** in his career. Anyway, Pryor fought a lot more like Gatti and Maidana than Castillo. Better yet he fought like Emmanuel Augustus.
