Manny Pacquiao: The Modern Day version of Aaron Pryor?

Agreed

 

H2H there aren't many I pick against Pryor at 140, except Duran and Ortiz....there are a few others, prime Cervantes and (possibly) the young Benitez....Pacman would take the first few rounds, but in a 12 round fight (what Pryor preferred anyway) the Cincinatti Hawk would catch up with Pacman and stop him.

I think Roach would step in before Pac would get seriously hurt anyway.

 

Pryor is half Japanese???? Never knew that, thanks for the info.

 

He cannot be compared to Aaron Pryor. Manny is Manny himself.

 

Aaron was a bit more bad-ass than Manny, with a bit more edge.

Head to head, I think Pryor takes it, and with less difficulty than some would imagine.

 

ei sorry puto. did i hurt your pride cabron? tonto!

lol look at his eyes.

I tried to search through google but not a lot mentioned on parents and stuff.

However, I found a bio on his sons and at the bottom it says that their Paternal great-grandparents are Japanese... http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php/Aaron_Pryor_Jr.

So...that would make Pryors father Japanese then? Since you can see a picture of his mother in the HBO legendary nights Documentary unless that was his sister or aunt, dunno...

 

I wonder if he is indeed related to Richard Pryor, the actor. I see lots of similarities in that pic.

 

Bull**** -- Arguello knocked guys out all the way up to welterweight. Only Pryor and Fernandez survived at 140.

 

There are some clear style similarities, but Pac is a much better fighter p4p.

 

Agreed. Arguello's best one-punch K.O (against Kevin Rooney) was at 140 and no doubt the shots he hit Pryor with were, at times, devestating. Pryor was too determined and tough.

 

Your'e joking? but if you were right that would be interesting though

 

You mean Blazin?

 

Knocking out Rooney at 140 is no indication of ones power..Though Arguello's did carry somewhat...It was still top shelf at 135 and kept Pryor more then honest at 140.
