    I believe pryor duran never happened because Duran leap over the Jr welterweight Division Looking for The Big Money with Leonard and after leonard duran moved up even another class.
    As far as Leonard I do not no what leonards motivation was Leonard motivation for for avoiding Pryor was. His money fight was with hearns.

      Okay, but that was the 1980's.

        Even if it happens, we'll never know, because it would be too late, like when Leonard finally fought Hagler. Two years before and it might've been a different result. I happen to think Mayweather wins, whether they fight next year (Pacquiao already signed for a 4th Marquez fight in December) or if they would've fought in 2010, when talks of this fight became big news. Mayweather probably wins a decision, 7 to 5, maybe 8 to 4.

            Pryor avoided Leonard if anything, in the Interview after the Blackmoore fight Pryor said that Leonard offered him a career high payday but Pryor wanted more and priced himself out, something along them lines.

                  Ruddock fought Tyson twice in 1991. In 1990 he won three fights, two over clubfighters and one impressive KO over Dokes. You must be seeing something that I'm not.

                      Charley Burley vs a lot of guys... He's one of the few boxers where I think he could have proved what P4P really was.

                      Jack Dempsey vs a lot of guys.
