    Drugs didn't make him, they ruined him and cut his career short.

    That statement right there shows how little you know and why any opinion you ever cast should be viewed as being the "I like Mayweather and no one else" View of boxing.

    Pryor fades late!!!! BA HA- A HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thats great - I needed a good laugh.

    Pryor would be in Floyds face like Beyonce's ***** if she let Floyd have a taste.

    Agreed. No disrespect to Pryor, but this is another easy one for PBF

    It's fine if he's your favorite, but to completely disregard all logic and reasoning when it comes to him isn't.

    Thats something I've never done. The question was asked, and I gave my honest opinion, which is damn near factual. I again see no possible way PBF lets the guy beat him.

    He wouldn't let him, he'd simply get his ass kicked by a fighter who's one of the worst stylistic matchups for him under WW of all time.

    Pryor is overrated and underrated on this board. Stylewise I believe Pryor would literaly kick PBF ass. If Castillo gave him a hard time..... then Pryor would certainly do worst.

    How do you figure? PBF would land alot of clean jabs on him. He stands in front of you alot and PBF would definetely capitalize on that.

    He doesn't stand in front of you, he swarms you and creates all kinds of angles. His workrate combined with the angles he punches at would not only be extremely hard to time, but very hard to escape from as well. His accuracy is very underrated, and the angles he fought at made him harder to tag clean than people suggest as well. Nobody's cleanly outboxing the guy, even Whitaker would have a very hard time with him, and Whitaker's style is far better suited to dealing with Pryor than Floyd's.

    This is one where we're just not going to agree upon. I think Mayweather would tag the guy alot all nite. Mayweather can adapt to any style, and I'm pretty sure he would do the same.
