    We all know Mayweather has fought a variety of fighters/boxers, but he never fought anyone like Pryor. Could he deal with him?

    Well, it looked pretty frenzied to me in the first Arguello fight! I wonder if Floyd would counter him to death or could Pryor's unusual attack fluster Floyd?

    Pryor would have been missing with 80% of those wild punches, and the single ones that would land, would be blocked or shoulder-rolled.

    Yep.... I hate to say this, but Gayweather has the defensive skills required to deal with Pryor :twisted:

    Pryor was a very good boxer when he chose to fight in a more controlled manner and pick his shots more methodically, it seems that many people forget this about him.

    If he fought a smart fight and utilized a mixture of boxing and sudden explosive charges of throwing punches in bunches I think he would do very well against Floyd to be honest.

    Hell he could even decide to fight off the backfoot and utilize his jab and make Floyd lead at times before suddenly going into berserker mode, this versatility of his combined with his inhuman stamina and will to win would give Floyd a LOT of problems I think.

    If this fight is scheduled for 15 rounds methinks Floyd is in for a looong night and for all his defensive prowess he is not going to make Pryor punch at air all night, and Pryor has the chin to take the best that Floyd can throw at him so he will be there every step of the way.

    Pryor by decision in highly competitive and entertaining fight, I`d wager a large sum of money on that outcome quite comfortably.

    You can survive anyone when you run like a ***** for 12 rounds..Floyd is a joke Pryor would destroy him if he stood in front of him for any amount of time..

    This fight wouldn't happen...

    "Take the Test, Pryor! Take the Test!"


    All we would get is a d**k measuring contest between who did the better number on the fading Arguello.

    Like all of a washed up Cotto's shots were blocked?

    Pryor would have been his best opponent, Aaron got hit as well but he was relentless, he was a faster version of Cotto with 2 fisted power and Pryor got off the floor to win...hard to say I would put Pryor closer to Pac as far as styles and Floyd has never fought that type of style....

    Which fights of Pryor should I watch to see him fight like Cotto did in that bout?

    You watch Pryor fight more effectively with more output and more of the one I mixed.
