    How would Aaron Pryor have done with Hearns, Duran and Leonard?

    If he fought all 3 @ Welter, do you predict any wins for him?

    I don't think he beats any of them.

    But Legendary Nights implied that Gay Ray was scared of Pryor, so it must mean that Pryor wins.

      I would pick them to beat him but I would still give Pryor a good shot at beating them.

          pryor gets KTFO by hearns. Duran or Leonard v. Pryor are close fights that could go either way.

            I would give him his best chance against Duran, worst against Leonard. If he got inside on Hearns maybe he could manage something, but I don't see it happening.

              i think he has a chance of beating leonard by sd or ud in a close fight. but if there was a rematch leonard would adjust and beat him. if leonard has the right gameplan in the 1st fight and doesn't try to slug too much leonard would win the 1st bout as well.

              duran and pryor would be a brutal fight and FOTY but i don't think he walks through duran's punches like he did a featherweight arguello. duran by ud or even a late round tko. duran slugged it out with middleweights in his old age. he would've no problem going toe to toe with a juniorwelter.

              hearns would be more difficult to judge. i've never seen how aaron would react to fighting someone so much taller and hits as hard as the hitman. then again aaron was tough as nails , while hearns didn't have the greatest of chins and with his slim built didn't take body punches to well. if aaron can pressure thomas and can take hearn's power i say ud win or late round tko for aaron. if aaron can't take hearns punch , early ko for the hitman.

                Pryor vs Hearns amateur fight. I know this wouldn't represent how they would fight in the professional ranks but it might indicate a little bit about how Pryor could've done against Hearns if they had fought as professionals.

                    i don't know , teng.

                    hearns was vulnerable to the body and didn't have the greatest chin. if aaron can take hearns power which he might've considering how tough aaron was he might get hearns late in the fight.

                    rumor had it leonard moved up in weight at the olympics to avoid pryor. if true there must've been a reason for leonard not to fight aaron.

                    i like duran's chances against aaron. toe to toe , in a slugfest , duran takes him. duran past prime and in his 30's went toe to toe with iran barkley and marvin hagler. i don't see him having any problems jumping 1 weight class and handling pryor at 140 or even 147.
