    EDIT: At Jr. Welterweight

    Close fight either way, I would lean towards a Pryor decision.

    There's a reason Leonard stayed far away from Pryor. He would have done to him what Norris did. Maybe worse. By the way, anyone know where I can find that fight? I have a sneaking suspiscion Leonard bought up all the rights to it.

    i can see it going either way.....my guess would be that pryor would bank on some early rounds similar to the way judah did with his pressure and different style but later on floyd would start to work him over a little bit. i guess it depends on how long it takes floyd to figure out his style but i would probably bet on a pryor decision

    Did you just compare the Hawk to Zab Judah?

    IMO a prime Pryor would be too much for PBF, with his power, stamina and chin. He would win a pretty comfortable UD or a late TKO, PBF´s style would be too passive to win against "The hawk"...

    Eh, I think style was an issue for Leonard with both fighters.

    Also, there's no doubt Leonard moved up to 147 to avoid Pryor. He was a menace at that weight.

    Pryor by KO is most likely result here. The only possible way I could Mayweather winning would be in a 15 round fight. I don't think he has enough time in a 12 round fight to get a decision and there's no way he knocks out Pryor.

    This is no easy fight for Pryor. When Mayweather eventually retires and this fight gets brought back up in 10 years time, I feel more people would pick Mayweather.

    I'll go with Pryor via very close decision.
