prime v prime,who wins? in my honest opinion pryor beats tszyu in a split decision, and gets outboxed by mayweather jr, imo pryor is the least talked about, the least appreciated and ,im glad hes now in the ibhof the hall of fame is well earned.WHAT TIME IS IT/...................HAWK TIME lol he destroyed arguello twice ,panama lewis made it look bad with the infamous "gimme that bottle,no not tht 1 the 1 mixed with anti hystimine tablets in!"luis resto admitted he did it ,lewis crushed a few pills up then put it in the water for his fighters going into late rounds so the fighter gets a bigger gulp of oxygen into his lungs and as resto said and i quote"****,that feels good"
Is this thread about the match-ups, or Panama Lewis's misdeed's? I ask because the original post seems to trail off the subject
Pyror and his trainer were both cheats. The "other bottle, the one I mixed" is no longer a mystery. It was fill with anti-asthma medication to open up his lungs. He doesn't deserve to mentioned with ATG's like Tszyu or Mayweather.
mate i did say it had anti hystimine in the water in my first post we only know because luis resto admitted it ,if you watch pryor v arguello pryor jumps off that stool like its the 1st round instead of the later round that it was ,i cant think what round off the top of my head.But after lewis gives him a gulp of that stuff he looks so energised like the commentator said,if you aint seen assault in the ring about the billy collins ,luis resto fight when lewis removed the horse hair/padding from restos gloves tell me and ill give you the link.i dont believe pryor knew or cheated at all.
Pryor would have killed Tszyu without question or doubt. Mayweather might have outboxed him, but I can't say that for sure. Pryor was possessed and in his prime was as feared as Hagler was in his.
IMO, Pryor victory over AG was tainted, he got hit was some majoe league right hands in round 13th, and after he drank from "the one that I mix" he look a different man, he cheated plain and simple.
somtimes i agree with you buddy but then i think of the 2 shots that mosley buckled floyd with and i say to myself tszyu and pryor wouldve been all over him after that instead of mosleys jittery performance after round 2.And i think kostya and aaron wouldve had him outta there.
do you remember that infamous left right that pryor ate that snapped his head back and was so loud you could easily be mistaken for a shoygun going off in the arguello fight well anybody else like floyd wouldve been in snoozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze land but pryor took it and still came forward ,so you automatically know floyd could never stop pryor.At 140 pounds pryor and tszyu could beat floyd ,i say could not would.They would be MEGA MEGA FIGHTS PRIME V PRIME NO?
I heard it was a mixture of cocaine, orange juice, and honey, and I could believe that but who really knows? The fact is, he beat Arguello worse the second time without cheating so the win is not tainted. On topic Pryor beats Tszu and Mayweather probably beats them both. Although I agree Pryor is way underrated and deserves to be in the hall of fame. The only thing that's lacking is his resume. He definitely had the skills. He COULD beat Floyd but we'll never know... different eras.
Restro said that Lewis put antihistimines in their water but that is not proof that Pryor took them. Antihistimines are not always illegal if taken before a fight-- and I am not sure about during a fight in those days? Xylocaine, on the other hand, directly effects the central nervous system and cardiovascular system and can be useful in arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) suppression and the inhibition of Norepinephrine (adrenaline/stress hormone/fight or flight response) and thus, can also allow one to relax in the face of a stressful situation. Interestingly, some antistimines such as Clenbuterol are chemically similar to Epinephrine and norepinephrine adrenalines and when taken are known to cause side effects similar to steroids. These side effects are believed to include increased anabolic metabolisms and rage Remarkably, USADA and various boxing commissions not only allow local injections of xylocaine but also its mixture with these same fight effecting adrenalines to stop bleeding during a fight. Tszu would always have a puncher's chance but I think Pryor would have pulled a relentless but more refined Hatton-like win on him. Pryor would also do the same to Floyd IMO
