    How do people rate Aaron Pryor's power? Not seen his named mentioned yet and he could definitely bang. He had pretty explosive power and was in those wars with Arguello. Should he be mentioned in this thread, or is he just a level below elite power?

    Definitely below elite level power. Whatever elite is. He's not in the bracket of the Ketchel's, Fitzsimmons, Wilde's, Foreman's for sure.

    Infact half the people being mentioned now are kind of ridiculous in the context of this thread :lol:

    It's become more of a 'who punches hard thread' :D

    I guess when you get to page 10 in a "hardest punchers" thread standards are going to drop off a bit...;O)

    Wilde being stopped by Lee isn't a great indication of his style, as I said earlier on in this thread.

    Best footage is his losing effort to Villa IMO, taken off youtube for copyright infringement :-(
