Aron Pyror vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. at 140, who wins?

I'll just edit this. I mean tho i wouldn't go out and out and pick Floyd not Pryor.

 

I agree, even though Floyd is not a one-punch knockout artist, his incredible accuracy, sharpness and speed has dazzled almost everyone of his opponents, and very few of them have been able to consistently hit Floyd in return.

I don't see this as the whitewash that many on the first page do; not at all. I think Floyd can win it. His technical ability, speed, versatility, adaptability, coolness under fire and stamina are nothing short of amazing in my book. Outside of one punch knockout power, he is the complete fighter. And i expect his stock to rise significantly over the next 5 years now that he's retired (though he might come back), just like Lennox Lewis' has over the past 5 years.


It would be a great fight, by the way. Class match of styles, both seeing new things, etc.

 

1. Actually Mayweather is the better puncher, Pryor is slightly sloppy in his punching technique (although he throws so much more so you could give this as a reason), Floyd's shots are more compact, better timed and land cleaner. In terms of power I'd rate them equal or in favour of Mayweather. Now as an offensive force Aaron obviously does more damage with his higher workrate, but bringing pressure will also leave more countering opportunities

2. (Also for Shake and Whatarick) Arguello is a better version of Corrales, they have many stylistic similarities though in terms of strengths and weaknesses. I see Mayweather beating him in the same way. I agree Pryor beats Castillo more convincingly than Mayweather but it wouldn't be 1sided and

3. Ofcourse 2inches of height and reach will be a factor in Floyd's favour, it won't be the deciding 1 but when combined with superior hand speed, ATG defense, counters etc etc. Pryor is actually the same height/reach as Hatton and shorter/less rangy than Castillo/Corrales/Judah

DID I MENTION FLOYD IS A PRYOR FAN AND HAS BASICALLY COPYED AND MASTERED MANY OF PRYOR'S TRICKS, MOVES AND TECHNIQUES (albeit as a stylist rather than a pressure fighter)

 

floyd would land some good shots but the more you hit pryor the more madder/furious he gets.

Pryor TKO.

 

i thionk floyd would be a bit too much for pryor

he has the sharper crisper shots and better accuracy and i agree with powerpuncher he has more power but mayweather tends not to use his power until the later rounds but it hink he would be forced to use his power to keep pryor off

i think pryor wouldnt stop coming at him and punch him but i think mayweather would have the skills to pick him off and move out of the way to nullify the swarming attack

but dont get me wrong it would be a great fight

 

Hatton isn't even close to Pryor in ANYTHING.So that comparsion should be thrown out the window.
If Corley gave Mayweather hell Pryor would run right through him.
And lets not forget that Pryor can punch as well and has underrated boxing skills as well.He throws punches from angles that Mayweather has never seen.

 

By giving hell you mean failing to win a round and getting knocked down twice?

 

hawktime all day. too much pressure and perpetual motion for PBF.

 

Agreed. And Corley's biggest moment of the fight was when he stunned Mayweather with a right hand, backed him up, and followed-up with an assualt when Mayweather was backed against the ropes. And Mayweather wasn't as hurt as some people tend to think. He had his senses about him, especially considering Corley's attack against the ropes proved to be unalarming when it ended. And we all know what happened next...............It was Mayweather dishing it out.

 

realy think about it

has mayweather ever been hurt or tired
he dosent so i think pryor would los eheart that this guy can keep going without tiring or hurting

 

From memory didn't Mayweather batter Corley at the end of that round after going to the ropes?

 

Yes, he did. He let Corley shoot his bolt then opened up on him, coming off the ropes, and clubbed him with both hands in the centre of the ring.

 

thats the only fight i havent saw out of mayweathers career

but from watching him i think the fighter that can beat him has to be tall southpaw and has a good jab
THEY DONOT NEED PRESSURE there is a common myth saying to beat mayweather you need pressure you dont

 

Could Mayweather really keep Pryor off of him? , I seriously doubt if Mayweather would hurt Pryor, if a powerpuncher like Arguello could not. Especcially if he is fighting off of his backfoot. Mayweather would use plenty of movement, feints. But more than likely, Mayweather would be disheartened as Pryor would keep coming foreward for 15 hard rounds. Whenever Mayweather would stop and fight, He would have to be prepared to be hit as Pryor was always more than willing to take one to give one.

 

Castillo is neither tall nor a southpaw, yet he arguably beat Mayweather in thier first fight.
