Was Aaron Pryor the unluckiest fighter ever

[Daddy T]

Sugar ray leonard was afraid of Aaron Pryor. Leonard would have said no mas if he ever fought Pryor in the ring.

Afraid of pryor ... fights Hagler, Hearns and Duran instead ... damn somebody should make a meme out of this one

Was Pryor avoided by most of the best until he got to fight Arguello? I know not by Leonard, but what about other top fighters in his weight class? I just saw a video that said Pryor couldn't get a good fight at lightweight so he moved up, is that true?

[jabsRstiff]

later he was suppose to get a big fight vs mancini but then mancini lost to honeygan

Mancini lost to Livingston Bramble, not Honeyghan.

Donald Curry lost to Honeyghan. There was minor talk in '84-'85 of Pryor moving up to 147 to fight Curry.....who would have destroyed Pryor.

Pryor= very overrated over time. He's the guy people like to "buck the establishment" on by pretending he was this dark and obscure threat to the big shots of his time. The truth is guys like Leonard and Hearns had bigger fish to fry than him and the best thing that happened to Pryor's legacy was him not getting fights with them. They'd have crushed him and kept him from getting so mythical over time.

I'm always on hand with my helpful video!

Sorry, thanks for the correction,, i got the 2 mixed up

Pryor unlucky?... Quite the contrary imo. I thought for a guy with zero defense who led with his chin, he got away with murder, and was also very fortunate to meet Arguello when he did, not to mention some of the other stuff he got away with.

This is a joke


or you are!

[katjack]

Pryor had it good he wasn't unlucky. He blew his career on stimulants. The same stimulants that also gave him his greatest win!

[Anthony342]

Actually, they were different stimulants. But yeah, blew it.

Do you really believe that yourself? Why don't YOU say no mas and GTFO and never return? You are not contributing one bit with your pathetic answers.
