Do you agree that Aaron Pryor would have defeated Maaywether at 140lb?

    Arguello DID slow Pryor down and was winning before Pryor's late surge. and Arguello and Floyd are completely different fighters. Floyd's footwork and defense are both clearly better than Arguello, and that would severely limit Pryor's offense, which was wild and and often wide open.

    Pryor was decked before by lighter punchers, and although I dont see Floyd dropping him I can see Pryor being more reluctant to just walk in if he gets popped in the face by right hands. Floyd controls distance very well with his jabs to the gut as well.

      Mayweather by decision if he can survive Pryor's early onslaught.
      The fight I would love to see at 140 would by Henry Armstrong-Pryor. A true all action classic

        during the build-up to Hatton-Mayweather, Floyd told a reporter who had asked who would have been his 2 toughest fights that it would have been Pryor and Whitaker

        I think it was an honest answer
