Dirty slugfest, in close and ugly. Hatton will do it by points, he will be hurting Pryor near the end of the fight. Hatton is an excellent mauler and Crowder, Pryor will not be able to use his superior boxing ability from the outside. Hatton by a slim margin
I don't know, look at Pryor's ko record. He hit harder than Mayweather who knocked Hatton out. What if he caught Hatton with a left hook like Pac and Mayweather did?
Pryor looped his punches, Hatton was a specialist. Styles make fights. I don't think Pryor can spark Hatton with one punch. Hatton was fighting very well against Mayweather, He got caught, Pryor will not get the leverage he needs, also his style of brawling will lend itself to a inside type fight early on. Hatton will get to his body then his head with short compact powerful blows., Pryor will be looping weaker shots to the sides. Pryor will catch Hatton on occasion, just not enough to change the outcome. Hatton on Points, with a frustrated and roughed up Pryor screaming robbery. It will be interesting scoring ,with Pryor landing more but Hatton with the edge in power shots. Just my take.
Hatton. He's too easily remembered for the Pac fight. As is said above, he did well against Mayweather for a good portion of the fight and that was despite the best efforts of Cortez to stop him. He would smother Pryor and Hattons body shots would be the deciding factor.
You have to be chairman of the Ricky Hatton fanclub or not know who Aaron Pryor is to suggest Hatton could have beaten him. Pryor would be hitting Hatton with every punch in the book as Hatton charged in, by rounds 13 and 14 Hatton would be well and truly cooked and ready to serve up. Hatton struggled wit Eamonn Magee for God's sake.
With Billy Graham in his corner, Hatton would have found a way to win Hatton of the Tszyu fight wins a late stoppage in a war
Absolutely staggering the amount of people picking someone like Hatton over Pryor. Wow........ Hatton would go all Sang Hyun Kim on Pryor.
I'm thinking those who picked Hatton aren't very familiar with Pryor. For whatever reason the 80's had some Asian fighters above 120 pounds who never distinguished themselves outside of Asia getting title shots vs USA champions. I'm glad the ref stopped this one when he did for two reasons. 1 ) Heath of the fighter, first and foremost. 2 ) Another ring death a just a year after Deuk-Koo Kim tragedy could result in a reaction that requires head gear or limited the action to 10 rounds.
I Like Ricky in a lot of these matches, but not this one, Pryor could box very well off the back foot, Ricky could do little else but come onto him, Aaron can pick his spots when to plant himself and fire off his withering combinations, of course it wouldnt be easy, Ricky used Educated Pressure, great against "Boxers" trying to keep out of the way, but a fast handed gorilla raid specialist like Aaron should be able to land his shots and spin off, Ricky of course would go Hunting again, and like as not Aaron would repeat his prescription, Aaron showed his boxing abilities against the Long-Range bombs of Arguello, Ricky has to get closer, and i think would be made to pay a price in trying to do so, Ricky's usual Ace up the sleeve, his unrelenting pace is going to find an equal in Aaron's ability to maintain, Never easy always exciting, but i cant help but feel that whilst Aaron always knows where to find Ricky... Ricky has his problems pinning down this Versatile performer ... who can punch. Ricky has to find him with the type of Body-shot he found castillo with . I just do not think Aaron is going to be anywhere near that Static.. Aaron Late Stoppage i fear.
Pryor was faster and hit harder, also had a better chin. Their skills are equally alright. Pryor inside 10 rounds.
