  • Manny Pacquiao vs. Aaron Pryor at 140 lbs

    Aaron will take shots. CAN he take the shots. Can Manny handle the full-on assault and pressure?

        Pryor had a little bit of a shaky chin, mainly because he held it out so much. But he could really **** and his work rate was non stop, to the point where he would punch himself out. The fact that he comes forward would benefit Pacquiao, so believe it or not, I am leaning towards Pacquiao. But Pryor could still knock his ass out.

          Hawk stops him.

            Pryor actually had a Rock solid chin, but just like Ricky he left it open. He'd give Pacquiao more trouble than Ricky but he'd still lose in about 6 rounds, or by a UD if he's tougher than I think. I think he might land a few if he got reckless but Pacquiao isn't going down.

            This is exactly what would happen, I expect most to say Pryor because they grew up watching him, but a good boxer will beat a good brawler. Pryor did show some boxing skills in his career, but he's not on the same level as Pacquiao. Some might even say Ricky is quicker than Pryor, or at least Equal. Pacquiao made Ricky look slow.

            Pryor would have probably stopped Ricky in 7. Or if he's not slick enough to avoid the clinch or counter punch, maybe round 11 or 12.

            Pacquiao is going to be setting some huge records soon, I really do think so. A 7th title is on it's way, a demolition of the previous p4p best fighter in the world, and the fact that's he's been a lineal champ in 4 weight classes. sheesh, you don't do that and lose to Aaron Pryor by KO.

              this would depend if pacman gets hurt by pryor, if pac is caught flush several times, if he cant take it hawk wins by knocout, early mind you. However if after about 7 or 8 rounds Pryor has punched himself out and pacman has weathered the storm, there is a chance pacman would stop him, personally i think pryor wins by knockout, his workrate would match pacmans.

                A year ago I'd have said the Hawk.
                Now, I dunno. Manny has superior stamina and can match Pryor's workrate.
                I think Manny has a better chin, too.

                Someone's going down, and neither will be the same afterwards.
                Hell of a fight.

                    I know he had a lot of heart, but I have seen him go down a few times, and Arguello had him hurt a few times, but I think it is because he held his chin high. Like I said, I am leaning towards Pacquiao.
