    Manny beats him unmerciful.

    To fast, to many angles, to awkward.

    A no brainer, Pryor KO 5, the Hawk that Kod Alexis, was too strong, too powerful, stamina for a long 15 round fight, and determined, Pryor had a chin of steel and Paq wouldn't be able to hurt Pryor..
    Pryor would tear his head off.

    I like PAC by a RSC in a battle, Aaron was an ATG at 140 but IMO PAC, both chins would be tested and the punches would be coming fast and furious

    I...don't know. I think it's a very good match-up. We haven't really seen anyone pressure Pacquiao like this and win. Pryor seems sturdier to me, and more likely to improvise well in what would be a very chaotic shootout. Then again, Pac has that lightning left.

    Put a gun to my head and I'd say Pacquiao.

    Pryor totally. He had stamina like no other and Pac would eventually succumb to Pryor's merciless attack.

    Very good match up and really I'm split on this one. I feel there is no doubt Pacquiao would at some point in the bout drop Pryor maybe even 2 or 3 times but Pryor at this time refused to lose. I don't know how Pacquiao would deal with the constant fury and aggression of Pryor. I'd expect this to be a wild fight with wicked exchanges, could go either way but I gotta slightly lean towards The Hawk just because this guy would refuse to be beaten at this time and not to say Pacquiao is weak mentally by any means but its hard to pick any fighter who can match Pryor's mentality.

    When has Pac ever been out done in the stamina department? Manny threw far more punches than Pryor over 12 rounds.
    In a 12 rounder Manny would be in and out on him all night. Pryor's leaky defence would leave him open to much much punishment.

    Who has Pryor beat at the end of the day? Alexis had none of the angles or latteral movement Manny brings and would also give up a loss to Pac imo.

    I think Arguello up this high is an easier match for Pac than Pryor. The lower it goes (and the more limited Pac was at those weights) the more manageable he becomes for Arguello.

    The Hawk would be hit too often for me to be comfortable picking him. While it can be said Pac has never faced a fighter with the stamina of Pryor, its not like Pac is a slouch in that department. Pac would be using constant foot movement to create angles of attack for that lightning fast left. I see that straight left finding a home on Pryor's chin when Pryor tries to bore in on an exchange much like the one that floored Marquez in Pac vs Marquez 2 before Pac slips to the side. Pac's superior foot speed, superior hand speed, greater power (slightly), and stamina equal to or approaching Pryor's in my mind give him an edge. Pryor's best shot would be to get on the inside and keep it there. From outside he would get outgunned.
