Aaron Pryor vs. Roberto Duran

Duran can win, maybe, if he's in the best shape of his life.If not, Pryor makes hell for him, and scores an upset decision win.

 

Aaron Pryor. Too tough (not saying he;s tougher than Duran...saying he has the chin, heart), too fast, two fisted.

 

Pryor would have been a very tough opponent for Roberto. Duran would have won,ultimately as he was equally aggressive as Aaron,and a lot more skillful.

 

The only way Pryor would win is if he used speed and used it to not get into a war with Duran. If he fought the same way he fought Arguello he would lose to Duran, but if he used his speed and gave Duran angles he would beat Duran by decision like Benitez and Leonard did.

 

Yeah, because Duran was completely unqualified to deal with speed and angles wasn't he now?

Of course he was you silly ****.

 

Who did Pryor ever beat ? his only telling fight outcome is his stoppage loss to Bobby Joe Young. Of course Duran wins.
Pryor is not a top 10 at 140. Ricky Hatton is way more proven than him.

 

Your out of your mind,at no point did Duran ever hit as hard as Arguello,Alexis hit harder at featherweight than Duran ever has at any weight,funny how Duran ducked Alexis at lightweight,he would have been stopped long before Hearns scalped him,the overratedness on this guy is madness,the Hawk would put a whuppin on him.Dont be supprised if Duran quit,the guy wasnt all that couragous when he didnt have a advantage,Pryor by late stopage not to mention Pryor was much more in shape and conditioned than Duran he could'nt stay away from the dinner table and partied his ass off,Roberto is the most overhyped fighter on these forums.

 

Pryor would beat the living **** out of Hatton,it would be his worst beatdown ever.:rofl

 

I like Duran in all action action great fight... Duran dug to the body a little better, heavier hands, greater ring generalship. Duran I think could actually outwork Pryor. He did everything just a little bit better than the Hawk...

 

True Duran was more skilled defensively,but he didnt hit as hard,the no mas thing showed that he would quit in a fight and this would have been a war,and the Chin Pryor took Alex's bombs and big righthands,Duran got folded up like a lawnchair against Hearns,Pryor took punches from the most devastating puncher in history under 140 i've never seen a man take those kind of shots not even on Rocky,Duran would not have taken those shots from Arguello like that,and Pryor had more power and he would keep the pressure up,Duran would be in for long night.

 

Good points... I loved the Hawk, it`s a tough fight to call, rematch anyone?

 

With the "Plaster of Paris" & Black bottle mixture, Pryor beats them all.
Ask Alexis..

 

Duran didn't hit as hard as Pryor? You are kidding. Pryor was an average but solid ipuncher for power.

Taking sporadic (even if heavy) punishment off Arguello would be worlds away from facing Duran relentless pressure and draining body attack. Pryor mixed it up vs Arguello and rested when he wanted to as he mostly outboxed Arguello from the outside. I severely doubt he'd outbox Duran.

 

So i know your not saying Duran was a better outside boxer than Alexis,you must be mad,and when was the last time Duran really hit hard? i think that was at lightweight.Duran did not hit as hard as Aaron and no where near Alexis and he didnt box as good as Arguello and he could have done what Pryor did against Arguello,get off of the fairytales please.......:nono

 

So are you saying 5 pounds some how magically zaps all of Duran's power?

Even though he knocked out a variety of fighters when weighting at 140 for his non-title bouts in between his reign at lightweight...Even though he dropped Palomino and badly rocked Leonard at welter..Even though he viciously bashed fighters like Moore and Cuves at 154...and dropped dudes at middle.

I think you are the one off with the pixies of bubblegum forrest my friend...Duran did everything as good and usually better than both of those guys.
