How good was Aaron Pryor?

[ShoulderRoll]

How does he stack up against the all-time greats at 140 pounds?

[IronDanHamza]

He was ok.

I have seen some articles labeling him the atg of the division which has been a stepping stone for some as they move up. His signature wins were against Alexis who was a great fighter but not a champion at that weight.

One of most entertaining fighters ever. Great speed and power. Too bad the ******* habit burnt him out. Also too bad him and Panama Lewis had to cheat in his biggest fight. Arguello deserved better.

[SouthPawHitman]

Almost as good as Aaron Pryor Jr.

Pryor was a good fighter. Would he have beaten the likes of Mayweather & Pacquiao, i doubt it.

I swear, an aaron pryor thread pops up every 3 months...


Pryor was very good at 140... I would take him over any of the current guys and Hatton, tzsyu, Barney ross, a 140 chavez

He is probably top 10 at that weight IMO

[LuisConcepcion]

He was ok.

Yeah he was just "ok".

Damn some people on here are ****** af.

The guy is a hall of famer. He beat Alexis Arguello 2x.


He annihilates the current crop at 140.

It still doesn't change the fact that Pryor cheated in the first fight against Arguello.
