      There were times when Alexis had him hurt. I think in his prime, he could have done a lot more to finish him off. Though, Alexis was better at 135 and Pryor was better at 140. At a catchweight of 137.. I think Arguello takes it. 140 goes to Pryor, but only because the proof I have is of Alexis taking on that division after his best ring years.

      Nonetheless, both GREAT fighters. GREAT fights.

        Pryor could've probably made 135, he fought at that weight too but couldn't get any big fights. Pryor wasn't very big, Arguello was about 4 inches taller.

        I do not think that Arguello was far past his prime in the first fight (30 years old), he was coming off several knockout wins, including a TKO stoppage over Mancini the year before.

        At 140 he had destroyed Rooney who had gone 8 rounds with the big punching LMW Davey Moore in just two rounds.
