my fav trainer emanuel steward said the best fight ever could be pryor vs pacquiao

transportcd

is he dreaming or could it really be that action packed if it happened they both had non stop agression and had the motors to keep going could it really have been that great if u can bring those guy together 2 fighters from different eras and hands down it would happen at 140

He's obviously probably not holding himself to it and just going a lil off the top but it definitely is possible. At 140 in there prime it wouldve been a classic war. I might like Pryor vs Duran a lil more.

I love all types of boxing but I probably have a lil bias towards more technical stuff because I think most people look down on it and think its boring so for me the best fight ever would be like Floyd vs Pea or something like that

In the featherweight division right? Pac's best weight.

Nah, has to be at 140 since thats the only weight they both really fought at unless you wanna count LW for Pryor

Leonard's best weight is welterweight........it's like saying that best fight ever should be between him and James Toney at middleweight. (who was best at middle).

Pryor....monster at 140...Pac didn't do sh1t at 140.

I disagree. SRL didnt show to be a great MW. Had 1 fight against a guy who was great but starting to fade and did nothing above the weight. Pac only had 1 fight but he beat a solid guy and has still had a great career post that at a higher weight.

I think you are taking this fight in too much of a negative way. This isnt one of those debates people have when they say that Floyd is no SRL or Hearns and they would kill him. I think that is unfair because of the weights as you say.

This is just a guy talking about a great fight. Not even talking about winning or losing but just styles and performance. I saw enough from the Hatton fight to tell me that Pac would still be good & explosive at that weight. If you ask me about Pac at WW vs someone is the best then I would say No but at 140 he still qualifies for a convo like this.

Pac still puts on a lil weight at 140. He doesnt at WW but at 140 he still does. Plus, Im not sold that FW is his best weight. He obviously did more there but he came into the ring big for those fights which tells you he could add more weight to the frame. He looked even more powerful & explosive at 130-140
