    In my view he's both the greatest and greatest H2H 140er, he could really fight and do anything in the squared circle

    Pryor is 1 of the most talented fighters ever. For most fighters its mind blowing to throw 100 punches in a round. And 1000 punches over 12 Rds is considered a huge feat.

    In Pryors prime you can probably count on 2 hands the number rounds he didn't throw at least 100 punches.

    The Chavez that beat the **** out of Taylor beats Pryor 10/10. Pryor is overrated.

    I don't think any Chavez beats the best Pryor, if anyone's overrated it's Chavez.

    The best Pryor would beat anyone at 140

    Definitely very good, but left himself open at times, and wasted a lot of energy.

    I won't comment much on this thread, as I do think Aaron is a bit overrated, but I will say I think it's a bit off to say SRL ducked Pryor. SRL fought bigger and better men and didn't blink and eye to do so. I highly doubt he feared Pryor.

    He is playing with himself right now with the idea of trying to foil another poster.....he is just embarrassed he doesn't know anything.....when was the last time he actually added to any discussion? he is probably sitting outside of some poor guys house at night peeping touching himself pretending its me....I think Moronlocks wants my manhood unfortunately I am not down with the brown eye he so desperately wants me to be

    Yeah he is good not elite.....a prime Cervantes would have eaten his lunch with counters and defense.....elite fighters do not take punches like that that often this is where the delusional cult of Pryor comes in to play...had that been a hard punching not even concussive punching welterweight+ been hitting his chin he would have been stopped often....SRL had KO power and I could only imagine he KO's Pryor like he did Green or Duran mauls him easier than he did the other elite Welterweights.....without a decent defense you aren't beating and taking punches from the bigger, stronger and better fighters from 147+....

    While I feel like Pryor could overwhelm just about anyone, when I watch fights like this I just can't see him beating the absolute best. He gets sloppy and things go bad momentarily. I just can't see him moving up to 147 and having any chance vs, Hearns or Leonard, or vs. Duran at 140. Kameda isn't even close to their level and is able to briefly able to capitalize on Pryor's sloppiness. Pryor couldn't afford to make mistakes like this against the best ATGs.
