    Very tough one. It's a siberian death match. I'll go for Pryor decision, but ask me tomorrow and it'll be a different answer.

    At 140? Slight edge to Pryor.

    Who the hell knows though. What a fight it would be.

    Both were better at 135 (Chavez definitely; Pryor arguably).

    At 135 Chavez wins; at 140 I say it is Hawk Time, just.

    "Clash of the Titans" It's got to be the Hawk for me in a classic. UD.

    Pryer, I know he's got a great record, but Chavez never impressed me, he looks quite ordinary.

    Defence: Chavez
    Speed: Pryor
    Timing: Chavez
    Workrate: Pryor
    Bodypunching: Chavez
    Strength: Pryor
    Power: Even

    I'd give a slight edge to Chavez based on him boxing the smarter fight

    Pryor, in what would most likely be one of the best fights of all-time.

    I'll go with The Hawk. He takes JC's best and out works and out speeds him ala Meldick Taylor. As good as he was, Meldrick was a poor mans Pryor.

    Chavez was an attrition fighter,good body work and work rate and solid....Pryor very explosive and sporadic, had good speed and power....prime to prime close but I lean with Julio
