No contest. Tszyu showed little difference between the Phillips and Hatton fights bar concentration....still, Pryor stops him within five, Tszyu can't hurt Pryor and can't keep him off of him. No contest.
I think Pryor wins, absolutely certain of that. But the Hawk did go down from shots, Akio Kameda had him over. Others too i believe. I think he would go down against Tszyu early maybe more than once and then overwhelm him.
Pryor against Mosley? Would be a great fight, I always wish we woulda seen Shane at 140, he woulda been perfect for that weight. I think Pryor wins a close decision, but what a war. If Pryor was hurt he'd go back, he was very fluid going backwards when he wanted too, and has very underrated footwork and jab IMO
KT would give Pryor plenty of trouble IMO. A guy with his power and compactness of punch is going to have his moments vs an often technically sloppy Pryor.
What about Phillips vs. Pryor? In every hypothetical fight that Tszyu loses Phillips is invariably brought up. Tszyu had stamina issues in that fight. If Arguello can stand toe-to-toe with Pryor I'm sure Tszyu can. If Hinton and Furlano can go the distance I'm sure Tszyu can. A 31 year old Pryor was KOd by Bobby Joe Young. Most of Pryor's KOs have come against absolutely atrocious competition:d-level boxers with 10+losses,20+losses even 30+losses. A toss-up for me. As for Mosley I think Pryor would stand little chance against him. A brutal KO win for Mosley.
Pryor would kick the **** out of Kosta. A tenacious Hawk batters him throughout and wins either by clear UD or late stoppage. Tszyu has his moments, but Aaron is ultimately too strong and relentless for him.
This is a tough fight...Pryor was one of the best at this weight but Tzsu had that pinpont power.....tough match for bothmen
Pryor was never the same after the Arguello fights. **** he was borderline retired after that. The Pryor that KO'd by BJY was a SHELL of the real Aaron Pryor. The Pryor that destroyed Cervantes, up until the Pryor that destroyed Arguello in the rematch was the real Aaron Pryor. He woulda ripped Tszyu a new *******. Philips too. Cool Vince was way too slow for The Hawk.
Cool Vince had one win, he would be 2nd best against all the great light welters 9 times out of 10 and most 10 out of 10
