Floyd Mayweather vs Aaron Pryor

A prime Pryor?...pressure...pressure...and...oh yeah,...pressure!!! He'd be too much
for Jr.

 

I think Floyd would butcher Pryor, who would take a lot of punishment.

 

Pryor... Tremendous shape, whirlwind style,very underrated boxer, good power, good head movement, and primetime Pryor was just about unstoppable. PBF would not be able to hurt him, and Pryor is just too busy for PBF to slide and shoulder roll ALL the punches Pryor would be throwing. He would wear PBF down, who would have some early moments of success. But, Pryor was relentless in his attack. PBF likes to fight at HIS pace and he would quckly discover that Pryor makes that impossible. Pryor 12 UD or 14 rd stoppage. The ONLY one to beat Pryor was his drug habit ...

 

Floyd a lot more contained then Aaron Pryor who could be fast furious and reckless but durable and had great recuperative powers.....Pryor has a good chance to break Floyd s cool and bring it late applying pressure, speed and unorthodox punching

All the above posts are as one, I can't possibly see what Mayweather can do to get a decision? He's never faced an onslaught from a fighter of Pryor's calibre.

 

Does Aaron have his special bottle in this one ?

 

Floyd would cut him to pieces.

 

I think Mayweather wins by unpopular decision , have a feeling he gets dropped early and gets on his bike... Some will think he outboxed pryor, and others will say he was on his bike potshotting while Pryor outworked him... Yey Mayweather close unpopular decision.

 

Pryor stops him. Runs him out of ring inside 10 rounds.

 

I think Floyd wins this one although Pryor would have his moments Pryor would take alot of clean punches although he wouldnt be hurt this would carry mayweather to a 7-5 type decision imo

 

I think it's a match-up that favors Floyd handily. Pryor had extra shitty defense. It would be like a more competitive Gatti-PBF (yeah I said it). Pryor would have a good chance of finishing the fight because of how durable he was, but I see him taking a beating for the ages.

 

How is Floyd going to accomplish that when he doesn't have the firepower to keep Pryor honest?

Arguello, who probably hit harder at 140 than Floyd does at 147, couldn't keep him respectful with the bombs he was landing, what do you think is going to stop Pryor from walking through everything Mayweather throws?

And Pryor had an underrated (not just by you) defense. There's no doubt he'd be getting tagged, but at what point does Floyd start hurting Pryor or slowing him down?

So hypothetically, even with his supreme conditioning, Pryor punches himself out or tires from his withering attack to the point that Floyd can start fighting his fight.... Oh wait... We've gone too far- by that point Floyd would be done.

The point is that Floyd's defense and durability erodes before Pryor's offense.

 

Arguello was slow, stiff, and easy to hit at 140--especially compared to Floyd. Arguello has nothing to do with Floyd; he's a totally different fighter. Floyd has very respectable power, which is a big part of why he's been so successful. If guys could walk through it, Mosely and DLH would've steamrolled him and Hatton wouldn't have ended up like he did. Pryor relied heavily on his athleticism, but against Floyd it wouldn't be much of an advantage and his lack of defense would be exposed. I'm convinced that Pryor's status gets elevated because his career was too short to reveal his shortcomings, sort of like Ibeabuchi.

 

That's logic I can understand.

I was only bringing Arguello up because of the power aspect; Mayweather is a taller order in more ways than one. I'm also not saying Floyd is some frail fighter made of glass...

It's competitive and becomes less so as the fight goes on. That much we can agree on.

And Pryor is alot more proven that Ike, although I see your point.

 

Pryor would bring it to Mayweather, in a close fight, Pryor wins on a 13th round stoppage, and if Floyd angered Aaron prior to the fight, he would get it worse after.
