Prime 4 prime: Zab Judah vs Aaron Pryor @ 140.

DUDE, just say you don't like Zab Judah and leave it at that..

Aaron Pryor is level and a half above Zab..............And I like Judah.atsch

 

Pryor TKO6

He would be on Judah's ass all day, Zab would just crack.

Also Zab has an underrated chin.

 

pryor ko zab in 5 rounds!

 

Saved me the typing.

 

Judah crumbles within 8 rounds, at most. Pryor was an all-around excellent fighter. a little overrated at times, but without question great. He would murder Judah. Alot like the Cotto-Judah fight, just if Cotto was much faster, a slightly more skilled boxer, and more aggressive with his attack. Also a better chin.

 

Zab doesn't handle pressure well, The Hawk would destroy him.

 

You mean later early rounds right? Like 3?

 

Head-to-head the only guy who left any mark at 140 who could beat Pryor is Chavez. Tough call to make though. Probably would go with Chavez due to his body attack, but it is hard to go against The Hawk.

 

Exactly why I feel he is so overrated, even though he's one of my all-time favorites!

 

Zab always provides entertaining scraps one way or the other! I agree Pryor would have stopped him.

 

Other top 14olbs fighters against Pryor:

Pryor stops Tszyu in the late rounds. Tszyu's right cross was a near perfect punch, but the way to beat Tszyu was by non-stop pressure to make him uncomfortable and unorganized. Pryor did it better than anyone. His speed was superior, his chin was good enough to take Tszyu's right, and his footwork & movement would cause Kostya problems.

Benitez was naturally bigger, and a master boxer, but he struggled to make the weight, and did not look impressive in his defenses of the belt. Would have to go with Pryor there to.

J.C Chavez would be the only guy I'd pick, because his chin & strength equal Pryor's, but his bodypunching would be the key. Not a definite prediction either. Could see Pryor beating Chavez a lot like Taylor was.

 

Not really a point to this thread. Everyone has picked Pryor.

 

cunundrum

judah isn't under-rated though, he just never reached his potential.

 

but 'prime' judah lacked the maturity and insight to be great so how can you possibly go with him over prior?

zab had all the potential in the world, but the bottom line is he was too immature as a fighter to make the grade (imo).
