Could Aaron Pryor Have Been Beat In His Prime?

[Easton Assassin]

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

Maybe Floyd? Have you actually seen Pryor fight? He would beat Floyd unmercifully. The he would have mugged him for his share of the purse.

They always do documentaries or movies on great stories like these.

I could pitch that right to the bank.

Who to play Pryor though?

Dude no way in hell could Pac come anywhere near Pryor. Pryor was prime at jrWW, Pac wouldn't be able to hurt him and would be demolished.

? what the **** you talking about? when did i ever say if they fought? i said they are the same except pacquiao has faster hands.

Pacman and Pryor have the same aggressive style...ask any boxing expert when pacman first came on the scene he was being compared to him...but pacman actually is living to his potential while pryor was potential lost.

pryor beat alexis arguello 2 times and pacman beat morales 2 times...both beat supposed aging legends.

good post...

Although, I think Pryor would have beaten a younger Alexis. Where as a younger Morales would have eaten Pac raw.

I just looked @ Arguello's record...yo...he started in the 60's. Thats crazy...didnt know that.

Of course, when he wasn't on *******, like he was with Arguello......

Hell yeah he could have been beaten in his prime. Pryor was sloppy, he had bad balance, he struggled with guys who shouldn't have even shared the same ring with him (before he ultimately stopped them). The young upstart D-Town fighter Johnson floored him and gave him a rough go of it before Pryor overwhelmed him. I'm sure guys that were MUCH better than that would have beaten him.

Hearns and Leonard eat him alive in the pros. Whitaker soundly out boxes him, Duran grinds him down and stops him late...

At 140 I'd favor a 88/89 Meldrick Taylor over him too.

All of that being said, Pryor was a wolverine. He'd give those guys hell, but I can't see him defeating them.

Well he gave Hearns a ASS WHIPPIN in the ams...guess it was enough to keep him running scared for the duration...wasnt it?

He moved his head too much for SRL...thats how you negate a guys speed...alot of movement.

Meldrick might have done it though. Doubt it though.
