Alexis moved up to fight Aaron Pryor and he hit him at will. Aaron's chin stood up well. I see similarities in Crawford and Arguello, and I could see Crawford landing plenty, and Crawford is big at 140. I could definitely see Crawford winning.
These guys would take each other on it’s in their DNA and in my view it would be Hawk Time again. Pryor would get to Bud.
As it stands, you’d have to favour Pryor. Stylistically matches up well with Bud. Hard to really say though as we don’t know how good Bud is, and probably won’t ever. Getting tired of the best rarely fighting the best. Hopefully post COVID they might actually have to.
As far as I am aware it was water in the black bottle despite the suspicion some have of Panama Lewis. I loved the great Alexis Arguello but no doubt Pryor was the man.
Crawford hasn't even beaten an elite operator in his own era. What makes you guys think he could hang with Pryor?
He mixed it with peppermint schnapps. That guy, who I refuse to call by either name out of respect for Panamanians and Lennox, thought it would help open Pryor’s airway.
According to Luiz Resto it was crushed up antihistamines. That said Pryor had an emerging cocaine habit around the time of the fight. Panama said it was schnapps, so that's definitely not true.
I wouldn’t believe that murderer if he told me there are 24 hours in a day. That said, there was definitely something illegal in that black bottle.
