    I thought Pryor is at 130 as claimed by a *****?

    You mean Floyd offers Pryor a career high payday, Pryor says no because he wants more money, and then HBO makes a documentary two decades later polluting the minds of boxing fans with their myths and implies Floyd ducked Pryor because people think press conferences mean more than actual contracts?

    I'm 50/50 on this one.

    Pryor has the type of aggression and workrate to trouble Floyd. On the other hand, Floyd is great at neutralizing opponents, and Pryor often left himself very open. Floyd doesn't have a high workrate, he is very careful with his punch selection, and Pryor could outwork him. I can see Floyd doing a lot of clinching, basically, stinking it out.

    I can easily see this one going the distance in a controversial decision. Those who favor Pryor do so because of his aggression and workrate, while others favor Floyd, who lands the cleaner blows.

    Pryor at 140 for me. He was an absolute beast.

    No, I'm just a broken record when it comes to dispelling HBO Legendary Nights myths.

    I just try to change the wording up a bit each time.

    Let us make this realistic _

    Pac vs. Pryor at 140 - I have it for Pryor.

    If Mayweather ducked Pac, would he duck Pryor?:lol::lol:

    Think about how easy Floyd would murder Manny tho...arron and Manny are almost one in the same...I'd say arron is a tad harder to beat cuz he had some skills

    Floyd all day, Pryor his water and his cheat of a trainer could do nothing to prevent the loss.
