    Could Aaron Pryor Have Been Beat In His Prime?

    I was looking @ his record and his only loss was @ the end of his career and he had ill drug problems. I used to follow him as a kid and loved watching him fight.

    Its no secret he was heavily dodged. Without Arguello his resume is ****. SRL didnt want it...Hearns lost in the am's to him and didnt want it either. How come Duran and the Hawk never met?

    39-1-35 is no joke.

    What happened...why was he dodged so bad? He was dodged like nobody else.

    I saw a documentary on him and its pretty sad how the drugs got him. Poor Hawk...

    Anyone know alot of info about the Hawk?

    He was one tough little mother fanker, it would've not been easy to beat Pryor in his prime, maybe Floyd!

        Yea I know, that's why I said maybe! I'm not a big fantasy fight fan cause we can never prove who will win the fight between 2 all time greats, but one thing I know for sure that Pryor would've been a tough fight for any of the all time greats.

        Pryor was a little beast, I loved his fighting style, it's pretty sad that ******* ****ed up his career.

          Pryor was the best 140 pound fighter in history.

                Pryor is the Mayweather of the 80s, a very very good fighter, but he never faced any of his notable contemporaries. No Leonard, no Duran, no Hearns. Arguello is the only notable name on his record.

                  You can't blame Proyor for does fights not happening. Also which notable contemporaries Mayweather never faced??

                    Because everyone was scared of him. Plain and simple. Most underappreciated fighter of all time.
