But an amateur Pryor looked the part of Harry Greb, as I know him from newspaper articles of course. Constantly darting in and out of range. Up and down like some kind of devlishish cork floating in water. Non-stop punching and pressure. Iron chin. It might be a crap comparison, but it just clicked when I was watching a young Pryor as an amateur. Has anyone else seen anything from Aaron's amateur days?
I don't know about the other stuff you mentioned but I think the non-stop punching and pressure was probably a key commonality between the two. Pryor never stopped punching. Another guy who shared this trait was Henry Armstrong.
Yes, but Greb was also known as a fighter with kinetic, non-stop movement as well. Constantly darting in and out, up and down. He was everywhere and nowhere at once. Early Pryor had the exact same attributes.
