    Hands of rock ... Mayweather will win this fight UD ... Pryor was very hittable and often faded in fights.

    Pryor. To powerful. He had enough speed and power to be a 154 pounder.

    Pryor never faded in his prime, and although he wasn't a defensive wizrd, he was not very hittable either. Pryor's speed, non-stop assault, punches from every angle, and lateral movement would offset PBF's rhythm, he'd be uncomfortable in the ring with Pryor and would be defensive almost entirely, landing about 6 punches a round on Pryor. I don't see PBF beating a prime Pryor, struggling with pressure fighters like Castillo and even Jesus Chavez is not a good sign if your going to fight Aaron Pryor. I say Pryor by decision, a clear one. In 15 rounds a stoppage is possible (only two guys went the distance with prime Pryor), but PBF will last in my opinion, only seriously hurt once or twice, but lose nonetheless.

    As for where I rank them all-time, it's close. I wouldn't have a problem with one being above the other either way.

    PBF could have been more, I've always felt Pryor could have been a lot more as well. Both retired too early in my opinion.

    Im pretty sure mayweather is coming back someday if the money is right and the risk is low just as he wants it.. just hope for his sake it's in a near future or he could get hurt. Cotto margo williams clottey and even mosley are all very tough opponents !!

    PBF > Pryor

    Pryor was a very talented fighter. He was fast, busy, had good power and was hard to time. I think he may have been able to smother PBF and not give him comfortable room to operate. And a prime Pryor, did not fade. To bda drugs did him in. Hawk time was all to brief...

    pryor was there to be hit, but his chin was iron, his fight with dujan johnson was a classic on cbs and everyone remembers the right hand he ate from AA in the 13th round

    Absolutely. This wouldn't even be close and no disrespect to Pryor. Pryor was a brawler not a boxer, at least not in the same class with Mayweather.

    :lol:

    Mayweather will go down as the more accomplished fighter for sure, but head to head under 140 pounds he doesn't match up less favorably against anyone. Pryor was known for his amazing stamina and relentlessness.

    This is why you're ridiculed. You're a goddamn idiotic, unknowledgable troll.

    Pryor was much slicker than given credit for. He showed grea angles in his fights and his accuracy is supremely underrated. His angles both helped him out offensively and defensively as the angles he threw his punches at and the workrate he threw them at made him extremely hard to predict, and very hard to time as well. He would be absolute hell for Mayweather.
