    If a list was compiled on the best fights that never happened, surely this one would be amongst some of the very best that didn't take place?

    This would have some of the best 15 rounds to ever hit our screens!

    Pryor's relentless pressure against the skills of Duran! However, much more than just pressure & skills would have been brought to the ring in these two fighters!

    How do you see this one playing out?

    Duran UD12.

    these 2 would engage in a war, both love coming forward and put pressure, but i think Duran would be more faster than Pryor and is more accurate than Aaron (at 135).

    Surely this would've been @ 140 over 15!?!?!

    If Duran's in top shape I see him being too clever for Pryor..though he's need to be careful about outright trading with him.

    Anything less than 100% and this would be a bad night for Duran!!!

    at 140 it would be a different story, but at 135 (which was Duran's prime) he would dominate Pryor.

    I hate to think what kind of explosives Duran would plant in all those gaps Pryor left.

    And I really don't think it matters if this fight takes place at lightweight, light welterweight or welterweight, Pryor would take a beating in any case.

    Have his moments of course, maybe send Duran reeling at some point, only to be countered on the way back in and all cheers would turn to gasps.

    Duran would decimate Pryor. I've seldom if ever seen anyone better suited than Duran vs Pryor.

    I think Duran would take this too experianced and skilled. Arguello was able to give Pryor a torrid time by picking his shots and landing accurate counters. Duran does that but is alot more mobile and fluid.

    Also i dont see it being a better fight than the first Arguello vs Pryor fight

    Also i have never heard that Duran and Pryor was going to fight. Duran was up at WW/LMW by the time Pryor came to prominence. Although There was rumblings of Duran as a lightweight fighting Kid Pambele

    Pryor shines like a diamond during the first few rounds.

    Then, Duran starts unleashing his artillery and Pryor goes down like a sack of coal.

    it would be all war but a one way street war for every 5 punches duran lands he only gets 2 in return. duran in this case is just a class higher then pryor. porbably finished by the 6th or 7th round

    wow

    Pryor had nowhere near the power of Hearns IMO. Or the means of delivering a punch like that on Duran
