Aaron Pryor v. Roberto Duran fighting at 140 lbs - who wins and why? (PUBLIC POLL)

Duran wins. Pyror was "could of", Duran "did". Durans head movement is the key to victory for me.

 

Pryor is as macho as Duran, not so much difference in the skill department, he could adapt very well and re-adjust when needed. It's a toss up, pick'em fight actually.

 

Wow, finally a fantasy match-up where Duran has the physical advantage. He's usually up against huge men, and for good reason -- few people his own size can live with him in that ring.

Pryor has the style, mentality, and chin to make this a real exciting fight, and that it would be. Sadly, as much as I respect the Hawk, I don't see this being that close. Duran hit hard. People tend to forget since his most impressive fights were at higher weights, but at 140, he'd be a three-point hitter, and with the amount of punches Duran can dish out (and take) Pryor is at too much of a physical disadvantage here.

You can match 'em in skill, and can match 'em in will, if all else is equal physical prowess and ring guile will carry the day for Duran.

Pryor goes out on his shield (yes, I'm aware of what he took from Arguello). Duran TKO13.

 

this is a good fight, but pryor is there to be hit. and at a weight so close to cholo's best weight. noone who chooses to brawl would beat him. over twelve duran by clear decision, with pryor having some good moments. i could see a very late stoppage over 15. pryors style is tailor made for the prime duran.
