    Aaron 'The Hawk' Pryor was a phenomenal fighter who dominated the 140lbs division with his aggressive, high-action paced style. A great fighter he was, a popular criticism of his is lack of quality opposition.

    Aaron wins all except possibly De La Hoya and Mamby, who had the experience to nullify a lot of Aaron's strengths.

    Loses to Whitaker.

    Floyd-Pryor is 50-50

    Aaron beats the rest.

    Gets stopped by Chavez and Pacquiao, outpointed by Whitaker. 50/50 w Floyd, and Pryor beats the rest.

    Aaron's speed and combo's beat Chavez, Pryor's work rate would get Manny, DelaHoya and Whitaker would be tough fights for Pryor,

    I'm honestly shocked that so many pick Pryor to beat Pacquiao. I honestly think Pac walks right through him.

    De La Hoya, Chavez, and Pacquiao I’d make favorites in damn good fights. I rate Oscar pretty damn highly myself, especially at 140 where he holds such exceptional physical advantages.

    Whitaker is my boy, but I’ve always thought that would be a very difficult matchup for him. Floyd, too. Not sure how those go.

    And I feel like Crawford would make for a great fight, win or lose.
