    As much as a rate FMJ as a boxer, I don't think he has the power to deter Pryor. I can see Pryor overwhelming Floyd with his unconventional attack.

    Thoughts?

    Mayweather weathers the storm to win a close decision.

    I would pick Pryor by decision. Busier fighter and Mayweather would be focused too much on preventing himself from getting hit to produce enough offense to win.

    Pryor without his special bottle doesn't have enough skill to beat mayweather on points. He'd need a ko

    This. Work rate and initiative takes it for the Hawk.

    Pryor by clear decision. Way too busy to lose to Floyd. And Floyd does not have the firepower to discourage the Hawk.

    Floyd UD. Floyd could throw and keep them honest at 140 and below. Pryor needed just a little more finesse, but he'd make it a nightmare for the whole fight which is why Floyd would dis-engage and try to win a clean easy to score fight.

    Pryor is a bonafide cheat, he doesn't deserve to be in these discussions.

    Some have said the same thing about PBF.

    Imo, Mayweather has some explaining to do on why he was being administered those IV's when its common knowledge he makes the 147 lbs limit with ease.

    Pryor doesn't have to explain, the video footage of Panama Lewis giving him a concoction between rounds of his fight with Alexis Arguello and being rejuvenated by it is there for all to see.
    We now know for sure that Panama would mix a concoction that asthmatics use when they're having trouble breathing.
    Pryor was being given from that bottle throughout his fight with Alexis Arguello. A total sham of a victory! FACT!

    I'm not disagreeing with you, but I wouldn't mind hearing that explanation sooner rather than later, it's been 8 months. I highly suspect we'll never get the explanation you want, so then what?

    I'd pick Pryor here, but it would be close and Floyd would not take the fight!
