Pryor, in his prime was a non stop whirling dervish, getting off punches from all angles. Going to take a equally tough man in the trenches with plenty of stamina, and a chin. I'm going with Julio Caesar Chavez. Man what a war.
Of course. Pryor looped his punches, and his power came at mid range, Hatton would be inside, slamming power L hooks to the body and smothering Pryor's punches. I think Pryor will hurt Ricky a few times, and be better from the outside.... But that's not were this is decided, Hatton was a specialist fighter... Pryor falls right into his wheelhouse so to speak. Hatton wins it ugly. He could even KO Pryor late... Upset.. well yes of course it would be.... But a think Hatton has a real shot at it.
Yes, if prime Pryor had fought the much bigger Hearns he would have been destroyed, but I think since Pryor only fought at 140 in his prime it's best to think of 140 lb guys who could stop him. I think there are very few who could do so.
wow! pryor would crush hatton. completely different level of fighter. i love hatton. he's a true fighter who stepped up against the best but this wouldn't be close.
