Aaron `Hawk` Pryor vs Floyd `Money` Mayweather @ 140 lbs.

In fact, Pryor's pedigree is somewhat comparable to Floyd's at the amateur level. Pryor's skill set is often overlooked thanks to two bouts that overshadow a wonderful body of work. Think Maidana, 1st match, but only with far more intelligence, precision, better timing and a rare resolve reserved for the greats.

 

To me, Pryor's workrate could well be the difference between the two.

 

Aaron pryor, UD. The Hawk was awesome, but he could get hit and mayweather would hit em alot. but pryor hits him more for the dec.

 

I don't particularly care how many fools despise Mayweather the person, but ONLY fools think he is easily beaten by ANYONE in his prime.

 

True, but then again his prime wasn't at 140.

 

Are you saying we match Pryor against a 36 year old Mayweather who fought a lazy fight in terms of strategy? AND we're gonna throw out professional pedigrees in favor of amateur ones.

 

I'd say his prime was between 98, and 2007. The weights are immaterial IMO, but for sure, no one past or present beats that guy easily.

 

Oh, okay. So we're throwing out Floyd's entire resume above and below 140 so now Hawk has the better resume.

Can we also say that Hawk's punch output will stay above 100 per round with the same connect percentage as against arguello? Now the deck is really stacked against Duckweather.

 

hard to say for sure. If Hearns catches early in a fight it could end quickly, as could SRL and Duran, basically if any great puncher catches a fighter, including Mayweather, early in the rounds it could end quickly.
