Aaron "Hawk Pryor Vs. Manny Pacquiao @ 140

[daggum]

That was Pryor's first fight at welterweight, cant expect him to look his best.

can't even move up 1 weight division before getting ko'd by a bum. pacman has moved up 17 divisions so far and never lost and anyone who tells you he lost is a damn liar.

Aaron Pryor only fought a few southpaws none of them even close to Pacman's speed and power, but Pryor definitely had problems with lefties as he was knocked down by a southpaw and won over another southpaw by a mere split decision at 140. But he is also unbeaten at 140 and has beaten Arguello twice at that weight (well Arguello moved up from 135), but Arguello's only similarity with Pacman was his power, so we can't use him as a gauge.

I say Pacquiao has enough tools to land enough powershots to slow down and win over the Hawk.

but a fighter not known for his power managed to KO Pryor? It can be argued that Arguello's style was tailor-made for Pryor.

Honest answers please.

IF Arguello couldnt KO Pryor than Pac cant.

PLus Pryors cmbos arw a nightmare for Pac.

Pryor by KO

Anybody facing the level of competition Pryor had would be a monster.

[Silencers]

Pryor would win, he has the intensity to match Pacquiao's, has the chin to take Pacquiao's shots, the power differential isn't great, the speed is about the same, Pryor by decision or late knockout.

Wasn't Pryor having some "issues" at this time?

Besides the two year layoff, which now should be a warning to Floyd,

According to Pryor, his career was derailed by a descent into drug dependency that began shortly after his November 1982 victory over Alexis Arguello, the first of two classic battles he waged against Arguello while Pryor was the World Boxing Association junior welterweight champion


Which I hear wasn't a big secret and why he retired in the first place.

[Silencers]

Pryor also had problems with his vision which was also a reason why he retired.
