    Yes.

    I never considered Pryor to be a top 100 fighter. Never understood why others did. Thin resume. Thin longevity.

    I would rank Pryor in top 40, Mayweather in top 25.

    I always thought posters made up H2H based lists just so they could justifiably push their favourites up a few places?

    Mate, you have Ricardo Lopez in your top 10?

    Yeah, who beats him?

    But..

    Who beats him? Who beat him? Just askin'.


    Well I would answer if you let m..

    Undefeated. H2H nightmare. Just sayin'.

    Oh **** off, ****.

    Has any actually made a top 100 of their own because I know I deffinatley haven't and I doubt many have on here people place fighters were they feel like they should be without actually doing any home work on all the fighters who should be considered in the top 100.
    You will put the hawk above mayweather if you prefer him as a fighter and vice verser

    You don't disregard performances and ability altogether. I rank fighters in an all-time sense based on ability, resume, longevity, and accomplishments. In that order. Any other way is strictly bull****. Just sayin'. But seriously, Pryor fought good opposition at best, and he didn't even deal with them very efficiently. No stranger to being hit. No stranger to hitting the deck. Nothing Pryor actually achieved before he ****ed himself on drugs suggests to me he was even that great in terms of H2H. Arguello was the best fighter he beat, wasn't he? A fighter past his best and above his best weight. Pryor still had to go to hell and back to beat him, as well as drinking some crazy **** from some black ass bottle in order to do it. Madness.

    Aaron Pryor, a top 40 fighter of all time?

    Just how highly do people rate Pryor? :shock: just because he was around in a golden era doesn't mean he's one of the golden fighters of that era :-(

    And to answer the questions yes Floyd has been greater then pryor for many years now.
