    That's how I see it. The difference IMO is that fighting Arguello with the bottle and without the mixed bottle, -both times proved Aaron could adjust.

    Watching Legendary Nights when asked why he began to mix shots up and move more, Pryor replied fighting Arguello one way-- he knew he couldn't beat him.
    Whereas Pac's Arguello (JMM) Pac could never adjust, proved he couldn't bring anything knew to confuse JMM.
    Pryor did and won the 2nd fight more convincingly.

    Round one, crazy. Pryor gets dropped coming in recklessly. Dropped a 2nd time in mid rounds begins to adjust to Pac's in and out style, Pac getting tagged to many times, obliges a war where Pryor is catching him darting in and backing out dropps Pac in the 7th, 9th. 2 kds a piece.

    Just like with Morales, Pac gets cut around 10, his vision prevents him from accurate shots, Pryor wins on 2 card, the other is a draw.

    Rematch Pac gets a controversial draw because he is the A side in both fights.

    That's a tad detailed for a hypothetical scenario.

    You didn't say how far into the 9th Pac got dropped.

    You are correct that I didn't say how far in the 9th. I think because that would be a tad detailed for a hypothetical scenario.:) JK. It's my dream scenario...hypothetically speaking.

    So did Margarito from Cintron, yet 37 year old lightweight Mosley stopped him.

    The thing is Manny has sudden power which hurts you the most: the kind you don't see coming and can't prepare for, and coming from impossible angles.

    Mosley himself said he never got hit the way Manny hit him. And he went 24 rds with way bigger Fishnets.

    The prejudice against Pac is too strong to ever give him a fair shot in any hypothetical H2H match up.

    so your argument is, because margarito took all of cintrons shots, but couldnt against mosely... means pac can ko pryor with one shot?

    i dont know what sudden power that hurts you the most is, so cant comment. as far as angles, watch some pryor again and see angles, not just which way your legs hop.

    pac also hit david diaz... diaz dont go 5 with alexis.

    This would be an incredible fight. Neither guy would have ever been in against the energy level the other one would provide.

    Really ? I thought Morales won the first fight via close decision but in the next 2 fights Manny TKOed and KOEd him respectively thus beating the heck outta Morales ? No?

    Manny got beat up the first fight, the wars caught up with Morales that's all. You think Morales could move up and beat Pryor? Me neither, bot if he was on as much roids as Manny maybe.
