Mayweather, Jr. v. Aaron Pryor

I would agree re Pryor beating Mayweather .

Prime Leonard easily beats Norris.

Do you think JimboDs could be Redrooster's son?

 

The Pryor that turned up for the Arguello fights ,just might have the manic style to neutralise PBF,s skills,there would be no time for posing in this one,think Ill take the Hawk.[Just what was in that "black bottle anyway]?

 

I agree with the whole nostalgia thing. I still think Pryor outworks Mayweather and wins on points.

Historically though, Pryor is overrated, and Mayweather ranks higher all-time.

 

Maybe as an amateur.

As a pro, Leonard fought at welter and above his whole career. Leonard fought a couple times in the lower 140s, but Pryor was mainly at lightweight and jr. welter.

 

Prime Pryor v PBF is not even an even bout, Aaron would shut Floyd out and make him quit, Floyd would not be able to compete with the kind of fighter that Pryor was.. True ATG v a future respected talent.. not in the same category........

 

i think u might be underestmating floyd a little bit.....new talent does emerge into atg status on occasion....floyd is more than likely gonna break the atg status

 

he fought fighters better than pryor and didnt fight him probably because the risk being greater than the reward....leonard in my opinion would have beaten pryor

 

Agreed....Leonard would have beaten Terry Norris too

 

I'm talking about all-time, historical ranking. That's where he gets overrated. I rank him pretty high in mythical matchups @ 140, but those are just that, mythical matchups which people just predict winners, and anyone can be wrong on predictions (which is why there are upsets).

He wasted a lot of his talent and his achievements don't warrant the high ranking he often gets.
