This would be a fabulous fight full of fireworks. Manny looked spectacular in his lone jww fight against Hatton. I actually think Manny is a natural jww. What do you guys think of this dream match up?
Pryor by as$ raping. People forget Pryor could box. He actually outboxed Arguello for long stretches in their 2 fights. Arguello is the type of fighter Manny has avoided his whole carreer. So to me its not even a contest. And if he cant win then Panama Lewis will just sabotage Manny to insure Pryor gets the victory. lol

One could say the same thing about coming forward against Pryor.
Ultimately it doesn't mean anything, I bet Duran could do it against either of them and come out of it fine.
I think this fight goes the distance. Both guys are relentless and both possess great chins. Manny is faster but Pryor is the more well rounded boxer.
I agree, I wouldn't expect either guy to get knocked out. Hurt the hell out of each other, yes, but neither would get stopped IMO.
This fight won't be going to a decision and that I'm pretty certain of. If I had to pick one, it'd be Pacquiao. Pryor was a ball of fire, but I think Pacquiao is bringing more heat. Pacquiao has also shown a tremendous chin in the higher weights.

Except for a past prime Morales

Yeah man, I love Pryor, absolutely loved his attitude but the recklessness gets him killed. I think Pryor holds his own against some of the best Jr WWs somewhat but I could name quite a few guys who would have beaten him in my opinion. Chavez Sr. would have beaten him quite easily as he's better technically, more methodical too, it would have been entertaining though. I'd also pick Floyd, Whitaker or even Duran to beat him as well.
I'd pick Manny by stoppage, Pryor was just too reckless. Can't see Pryor beating him.

Pryor would be the favorite....Manny has a great shot...to me this is one I always go back and forth on....Honestly since I have to choose I say Manny in a close MD or SD....Pryor had a tendency to get caught off balance and cold.... Pryor he wasnt a huge puncher like his record suggests but could box, bang and was a lil more versatile...I do believe it will take him some time to get acclimated to the speed and footwork of Manny, Pryor was usually the quicker guy in the ring...one fight Manny wins in a barnburner...3 fight series 2-1 Pryor...he was more versatile and Manny doesnt adjust well when the same thing he does isnt working
