More Exciting fight? Meldrick Taylor vs Pryor@140 or Duran vs JCC@135

Everybody in their prime at the weights obviously.

Taylor vs Pryor would be my choice and what a fight it would be.. Duran vs Chavez at 135lb IMO would be a fairly easy fight for Duran

[Wild Blue Yonda]

Pryor-Taylor would be a fun fight --- Duran-Chavez would be an epic one.

It's Duran-Chavez, hands down.

I think in terms of excitement Taylor vs Pryor would be better. It would be pure mayhemic war, whatever the hell mayhemic means.

Duran vs Chavez would be a great fight but I think it would end up a little more in favour of one guy without the war of Pryor and Taylor getting hit so much.

Duran-Chavez because while I have no doubt Duran wins, it would be a total war.

I don't see it to be honest. It took someone as good, fast, skilled and big as Ray Leonard to really make a war with Duran. The great inside fighters like Palomino, who was much bigger, stronger as well as being technically brilliant and a very good counter puncher too, like Chavez, were just dominated.

Although Chavez is better than Palomino of course, he was a still an incredible HOF WW champ whose body punching, skill, chin etc was as good as Chavez. He just didn't have that little X factor of Chavez but I see the fight a little bit similar.

Duran wins with speed, skill and largely off countering from the outside and mid-range as Chavez tries to get in with combinations. Great, close fight but I don't think it would be the war people think nor would it be a war like Taylor/Pryor.

Pryor would struggle with Taylor's speed and combination punching obviously whereas the stamina and combination punching of Pryor is higher than that of Chavez so it would be closer throughout the fight than that war was. I think it would be a brutal, amazing war for all times. Taylor was tough enough to last the distance and land constant combinations and maybe even floor Pryor, without hurting him though...Ahhhh what a fight I see that one as.

Chavez was in no doubt the undisputed champ in his prime!!and that lasted for about a decade!!!there was nobody even close to him p4p
and in his weight class there was no one that could beat him!! Duran, sugar ray,Hearns, and other in that time were always going at it for being undisputed !!in other words just like how Barrera,Morales,Paquiao,Marquez at all crazy fights !!thats were Duran is!!! Chavez! ,Chavez! ,Chavez! remember that chanting ! Chavez in his prime was standing alone on top!!!Chavez KO9 by liver punch and a massive beat down on Duran! and would have done what he did to Meldrick Taylor made him suffer brain damage after his fight with him!!! it's sad!!!! have you all seen the documentary on HBO!!! and that's why he is a HALL OF FAMER!

It took me about a split second to choose Duran-JCC. Pryor would have walked right through Taylor.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Miburo]

Taylor-Pryor would be ridiculous, that's an all-time action fight there. Duran-Chavez would be a war of attrition, not as exciting.
