    Pryor had some amazing feet and used them to perfection to attack from angles...He also had floyd's move, the pull-counter, down to perfection...I wouldn't count floyd out of any fight but, I think Pryor had a perfect style to get floyd out....Pryor KO6 floyd...

    Tszu showed in his prime that he could be beat by a tough boxer puncher...Pryor KO9 Tszu...

    Pryor stops Tszyu in the latter rounds of a terrific fight.

    I'm not so sure about Mayweather. Pryor does have a high-activity style to give Mayweather, who sometimes lets himself get outworked, absolute hell. But I think very highly of Floyd's ability to limit opponent's punch output and have the right game plan. He's a versatile, resourceful fighter and it's tough to pick against him here so I'm on the fence about this.

    I'm also on the fence about him vs. Chavez @ 140, which I feel would be an awesome fight.

    Pryor is very rarely ever underrated. He's regarded by nearly everyone as one of the greatest 140 lb. fighters of all-time and a handful in H2H matchups.

    If anything, he's more often overrated by people who watch too much Legendary Nights, and The Ring's extremely high all-time ranking of him back in 2002.
