    Pryor is H2H GOAT at 140

    I think Pacquiao is the best chance, someone who could maybe match Pryor's volume but with more power and speed. Meldrick Taylor is another one who has a chance for the same reasons

    Agreed.

    I'd also pick Jose Napoles and Carlos Ortiz.

    Barney Ross would make Aaron Pryor regret every life decision he's made as his face is puffed up from a 150-135 UD Ross drops on him
    Wilfred Benitez
    Barbados Joe Walcott
    Packey McFarland
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Jack Britton
    Young Corbett lll
    Fritzie Zivic
    Primo Carnera........
