    well, pryor was abit modest when he said that leonard and himself had sparred several times with 50-50 during the sessions. the problem with that is that there are controlled sparring sessions and then there are the sparring wars when fighters get competitive or don't like each other. maybe it was pyror that sparred with srl in preparation for duran. nevertheless, pryor was a beast and i would not count him out in beating both srl or duran even tho i'd pick those 2 to beat him. i mean, if duran moved up i don't see why pryor never did. he could of at least taken on benitez

    A shame it didn't happen.
    History will prob always put Leonard over him in H2H everytime.

    It goes the distance, SRL by UD.

    In the HBO Legendary Nights Butch Lewis said Pryor was better than Leonard in the amateurs and forced Ray to move up for the Olympics. SRL probably wins but you gotta respect HAWK TIME.

    Pryor at his best had his freaking hands full with a ring worn super featherweight named Alexis Arguello. No way he'd ever beat SRL at 147.
