    Leonard offered Pryor a fight. Pryor wanted more than the half million he was offered. This is from Pryor's own mouth.

    Do people actually watch Pryor's fights, or read about him and his career, or just respew the revisionist history created by HBO?

    Fights are made during press conferences, not contracts :lol:

    i dont think he batters marquez either, hed be hit in that fight enough, and outwork marquez landing more for ud.

    more chance of ko'ing pacquaio although i think that he will win it in sd, as he works even harder then pacman. mind you his toughness will be in full flow, if he gets hit too many, he could be ko'd also pryors head was always in the air

    bradley wont have much of chance styleswise, his power wont deter pryor at all, so bradders could lose by late tko.

    I definitely don't like Marquez or Bradley's chances against Pryor. Marquez had enough problems with much lesser fighters in Juan Diaz, and Michael Katsidis. Marquez's class and superior skills won him through, but he was touched up a lot. He tends to make good fights against that style of fighter. He would definitely get his shots in but Pryor handily beats him.

    Bradley doesn't have much to deter Pryor with. I do think that Bradley is one of those "better than the sum of his parts" type fighters but he is on a lower level.

    Hawk would savagely KO Pacquiao.

    sometimes I think Pryor might be overrated for his win over Arguello. who was getting older and weight divisions over his best. People think Duran was washed up at 154, but Duran fought there years before his buddies Hearns,Leonard and Benitez did. Arguello did not at 140. I just think Pryor exploited a guy who was not as strong at the weight and the fight was so great, he got more credit than he should have. I think Pacman and Pryor is a great fight, which now Pryor would win, but the Pacman of 2009 outpoints Pryor. Pryor beat Marquez easily with angle and wins a UD, and he probably knocks out Bradley.

    he is overated and hes one of my favourite fighters of all time, pryor's chin dangled into the air when he threw. his non stop speedy powerful attacks were one of a kind, but im pretty sure a decent counter puncher could exploit his non defensive offensive. the thing pryor has over alot of swarmers is he will hit you anywhere and everywhere and almost at twice the speed and twice the malice.
    also he could box when he wanted to on the backfoot. but put him in with a chess player like floyd or whitaker and pryor would probably lose. dont think he can ko marquez. marquez is tough enough, he would knockout bradley though, no doubt in my mind.
