    Oscar was too fast, too strong and too sharp ... a lot depends on when they weigh in ... if the day before Oscar would have 12 pounds on him ... I like Oscar by decision ...
     
  2. Pryor for me.

    He'd set too hot a pace for Oscar, who would sweep the early rounds but eventually start to fade, and would drop a 8-4/7-5 kinda decision.

    Hard to see Oscar beating Pryor, although Oscar had a great left hook at 140 and if he landed it who knows what it could do. But Oscar was not experienced enough at 140 to deal with the type of pace Pryor would set. At welt Oscar wins a decision .

    If this had been a topic in the General Forum (where they think that the order of all time greats are as follows...Pacquiao, Mayweather, De La Hoya and then God) the answer would be obvious. Here the real answer is Pryor.

    I don't see why it's so ridiculous to think Oscar wins...

    Oscar is bigger, hits hard enough to drop Pryor at least, has the wheels to move and not get run over, has better boxing skills, and does well against come-forward types...
