    People don't realize it but there are probably more Sugar Ray Robinson fights out there than there are of most present fighters although they are hard to find.

    I've seen atleast 25-30 SRR fights.

Pryor was an animal, he was a superb boxer but he didnt respect some fighters power, so he just goes in there and takes their head off in a few rounds.

          His footwork in cutting down the ring is just unreal, he was so quick and im talking quick with the power shots, had a serious chin, could fight 12 rounds today easy without stamina issues, guy was just on another level.

          Apparently Sugar ray leonard himself wanted nothing to do with Pryor, but who knows.
          Pryor vs Tzsyu? How do you see that going. I think Pryor not respecting Kostyas right hand may be a mistake but no doubt Pryor was a monster.

              I think Pryor would be a bad match-up for Tszyu.

              I can't really see Tszyu KO'ing Pryor. Arguello may have been in his 4th weight class but he still hit as hard as ever at LWW, stopping good fighters like Costello and Rooney with single punches.

                At what division? If it's WW, I'd pick Hearns to beat floyd easily, Armstrong, Walcott...

                  Yea but theres no footage of his career at 147 unfortunatly, but based on him at 160 I'd say he's almost unbeatable at 147.

                    There are a couple of fights, not many but a couple. I've seen him against a couple of journeymen + LW champion Sammy Angott and top ranked contender Fusari at welterweight, maybe even more but I can't remember right now.

                    The way he fought against Angott was pretty surprising, he kept his hands down like Ali, taunted Angott and threw quick combinations with only his left hand, even faster than at MW.

                    There's only about 5 minutes available of the fight though, I think. It was from 1942.

                      Havent seen a tzsyu fight in a while you know, might need refesh my memory a little more, last time i saw some Kosta was when he lost to vince phillips (a replay of the fight), Think pryor might take his head off you know.

                      Pryor just had zero respect for a guy's power in the ring, didnt give a **** and he was genuinley intimidating, at worst kosta stuns him, before pryor boxes him silly.

                      Guy was just sickening, his head movement is rediculous as well.

                      Forget the pressure hatton put on floyd, Pryor would swarm him silly and pryor could have a guy trapped a corner cos of his footwork, would be a no joke fight for floyd.
