    Like I said...he was the best 140 ever...Hatton would try to pressure him and roughouse him butthat would only fall into Pryors wheel house..he would savor a fight with Hatton..he was quicker than Hatton more slippery and IMO a beer all around boxer/puncher....

    I think of Pryor and the first things that come to my mind is "effective pressure"

    I think we're forgetting this is the featherfisted version of Hearns. Hearns had something like 11 ko's in 147 wins in the amateur ranks. When he turned pro Steward taught him proper leverage and he filled out. The result was a spectacular KO machine, but he had stuff all power vs Pryor. Aaron was much more developed than Hearns at that stage and was a great am. Hearns would have amended things real fast in the pro's at 147.
