In '84 after Aaron Pryor returned from his 1st retirement there was a proposed fight with Ray Mancini. However before it could happen Mancini lost to Bramble and it never happened. My question is, how do you think it would have gone?

Personally, I think Pryor takes it in an absolute slugfest. I love Mancini, all the heart in the world and not a step backward but Pryor was bigger and stronger and would prevail by 7-8 rd TKO.

Pryor should've handled him. He was just a better fighter.

I feel very comfortable picking Pryor to beat Mancini. Anything Ray did, Pryor was able to do just a little better. I especially like how Aaron's punch output and endurance never waned.

I'am very confident in a Pryor TKO victory here, they were ment to meet until Alexis Arguello talked Mancini out of the fight, saying to Ray don't take it for your well being. And Ray must of took his advice.

I think it would have started at a frantic pace much like the Mancini vs Frias fight. I think Pryor would have stopped him by 4 rounds.

Let me tel u somethink aaron pryor was the ****ing man, learnard and hearns both avoided him! timothy bradley just be thankful evey day that arron pryor is not about now! cos you have got more chance of timothy wakeing up with a pony tail, than beating arron. Ray would of got a bad beatdown. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !!!

I'm not sure if people are reading the thread, he's speaking of the comeback Pryor who was struggling with drug addiction if I'm not incorrect. Still I would choose Pryor to take it. A prime Pryor would obviously demolish him.

lol good thing that fight wasnt made.pryor would haved slaughtered mancini.

Pryor would have massacred mancini. Boom Boom wasn't half the fighter "the Hawk" was.

Pryor KO. Slugfest, but Pryor gets to him inside 6 rds.

yep that's what I am thinking. we are not talking about prime Pryor. This is a closer fight than what one would imagine.

Ray Mancini gonna be my pick

Ray Mancini gonna be my pick

Hey, of of Italian heritage too, but I just can't see Ray getting the win here. If this pick is from the heart, okay, I can understand that. If its from your head, what makes you think Mancini would win this fight?

I guess a big part of me [heart] goes to Mancini. Brain says Who Knows? LOL But I think the Heart of Mancini is something Id always bank on...Maybe not bet on. Im going to stand by my heart more than anything though....Good Question....
