    Damn, check this!

    Ricky Hatton Vs. Aaron Pryor@140. We all know Hatton is a monster and probably unbeatable in this day and age at 140, but Pryor was a tireless beast and wreaked havoc at 140 as well. Who do you guys think prevails?

    Pryor was easy to hit, but man was he tough as nails. He could punch too, and had a solid work rate even though he punched himself out at times. I think He takes it via UD or late KO. With that being said I think Hatton can make it competitive at some point.

      Hatton would have no problem landing at will on Pryor, but physically and mentally, Pryor is a much stronger fighter. Nothing Hatton could do would break the man, Pryor would systematically dismantle him.

        Pryor by mid round KO. These two guys are in different leagues IMO.

          I think both could of land on each other at will. But I will give Pryor the edge based on toughness!!!!!!

            My thoughts exactly. Stylistically they're very similar, but Pryor is leagues beyond Hatton. He's in the category of pressure fighters with guys like Hagler.

                Yes. Hatton has been a very good fighter, one of the best 140 pounders in his era.

                Pryor was a complete beast who could probably walk though just about any 140 pounder in history.

                  I wonder who would actually be the stronger of the two. I think Pryor brings more to the table as far as combination punching and work rate but I find myself leaning back and forth as to who would actually be the stronger.

                    Pryor's chin is Margarito-esque. Making him damn near unbeatable. Even the guys who tried to outbox him ended up wrecked, like Arguello.
