What Time is It?

"The one I mixed earlier" I hate cheaters.

The Florida State Boxing Commission failed to administer a post-fight urine test. Whose fault is that? It's certainly not Aaron Pryor's. In the rematch his corner was under heavy scrutiny and he stopped him even earlier.

"Give me the special bottle" Why wasn't he disqualified? And why was he a first ballot Hall of Famer?

In the words of the Chicago Bulls from 91-98...................... WHAT TIME IS IT.................GAMETIME WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pryor was a BEAST. I like when Arguello said something like "I never been hit with 2 hands at the same time."

Steward fighters? Seriously? Andy Lee was such put on queer street and he had no idea. I'd say just the opposite. Thats Andy Lee, not Jonathon Banks. No two fighters are exactly alike. I like Steward's philosophy, which is to hold on for dear life even if you have to drag your opponent down with you, ala Jeff Lacy. In the fight with Castillo, Banks did about as good a job as anyone possibly could to tie his man up and survive the early assault.

Yeah, the card is going to be televised online. It's going to feature a lot of Cincinnati fighters, so it should be entertaining. Steward's fighters do have a tendency to eschew in-fighting, but given that most of them are so long and lanky, you can't really blame them for that. I do give him credit for teaching them survival. The first fight I attended was the great fight between Jonathon Banks and Eliseo Castillo. Banks was hurt so bad yet he did one of the most professional jobs of tying your man up I had ever seen. Steward fighters? Seriously? Andy Lee was such put on queer street and he had no idea. I'd say just the opposite.

Not only was Aaron fearless, he was usually shorter than his opponents. He brought it raw. :boxing: When I see him doing staredowns, you could sense that he wasn't going to yield until he was dead. Giving up was not in his vocabulary.

I've never seen him on tv, but i always watch youtube to see what they have of him. I read an interview, and he said that once he gets to unify titles at cruiserweight he would move up to heavyweight. but it also gives him time to wait untill Klitschko retires, and i think manny knows it. Tall heavies dont usually get mixed up on the inside. The most effective big guy that i ever saw, and the choice is obvious, is Riddick Bowe. but there are not too many 6'5 240+ heavyweights who could squeeze in room for consistent bodywork.

nice letter, very likable individual. Such a beast in the ring, but what i gentleman outside of it. How can you not like a fighter like Pryor. True class, look forward to the new interview. Definitely man, it'll be interesting.

i would love to see both brewster and Pryor jr in action again. Good call that he's trained by steward. the one thing i dont like though is that Steward's fighters dont fight that well on the inside. It's a different topic altogether, but everytime that comes up i always comment on it. But they do a great job on shorter opponents. Yeah, the card is going to be televised online.

Yeah, its a shame that Pryor didn't truly achieve all he could have as a professional. A lot of Cincinnati fighters succumbed to the rough life around them, Ricardo Williams Jr. and Tony Tubbs as well. Leonard probably wouldn't have fought Pryor anyways, since he was like Margarito or Glen Johnson, a tough fight with little to gain. My trainer hated Pryor because he was a huge Arguello fan and we used to always argue about him. I made him put a Pryor poster up in the gym though because I wouldn't train otherwise LOL. Here is a letter Mr. Pryor sent me when I first started boxing. Hi Ryan, Thanks so much for visiting my website, glad that you liked it. It's always great hearing from boxing fans especially those who are amateur boxers. My son, Aaron Jr., won the Cincinnati National Golden Gloves this year and went to the National's. I wish you much luck with your boxing career. My biggest piece of advice to you is to go to the gym every single day and listen to your coach. Dedication and being able to learn from your coach will carry you much farther than just natural ability. Practice, practice, practice. That's what I did! Best of luck and happy holidays!

Yeah, his mother had told me the reason why they sent him over to Emmanuel Steward is that if you're a tall fighter and you need to learn how to fight, Steward is the one to call. His son is more of a KRONK fighter in that he ties up on the outside and uses his 1-2 from the outside. He had an off night the first time he was on TV but in his next fight a few weeks ago he blasted an even better fighter out in the first round. I think he's starting to come into his own as a fighter, personally. Pryor Jr. will be making his Cincinnati hometown debut on the 30th of this month on the Lamon Brewster undercard.i would love to see both brewster and Pryor jr in action again.

yeah, i know what you mean, it's the kind of gamble that can pay off, or not. and I agree fighters like Pryor have tremendous will, and heart. they may not have all the best attributes but they make up for it with determination. aaron broke wills, same as he did with Arguello. The second fight clearly shows that, if the first one doesnt justify it. Ray also had one hell of a heart, and a combative attitude, the way he dug down in the first Hearns fight. There were many split opinions on whether the footage that legendary nights showed was legit about the ducks. those that knew both fighters personally say that it just added spice, but i wouldnt know for sure. but my sources tell me it's a little off in terms of truth. if the fight was to be scheduled it was going to be a toss up. In the rematch with Roberto, Leonard showed that he wouldnt fall twice for the same trick. both ruled their divisions, both were proven champions. it would have been one sweet fight.

Yeah because as much as I'd like to think Leonard would just crumble under Pryor's pressure, you just can't discount the greatness of Leonard. He always found a way to win in his prime. I just think that Pryor's will was just so great, and over the course of a 15 round fight he'd give Leonard hell. Pryor wasn't the classic, cagey fighter but he wasn't just a straight ahead brawler like his reputation says. If he needed to, he could adjust, the question is would he have enough tricks up his sleeve to outthink Leonard? My money would be Pryor, though it isn't much so I wouldn't have an issue risking it. yeah, i know what you mean, it's the kind of gamble that can pay off, or not. and I agree fighters like Pryor have tremendous will, and heart. they may not have all the best attributes but they make up for it with determination. aaron broke wills, same as he did with Arguello.

amazing how much different his son is physically and also technically with his style btw the link doesnt show up...

that was always a hard match up for me to decide. Im also a big fan of Leonard's work. Sugar Ray was a splendid fighter, but so was Pryor. I just look at the first Duran fight and Roberto was pressuring him and forcing Ray to fight. That's bread and butter for Pryor and i think he would have done an even better job with pressure, so i think he would have had a hell of a big chance in that kind of a fight.
