    Man, as a Mayweather fan i just can't see him beatinng Aaron Pryor.

    Before guys begin posting, i dont want no bull**** posts. Dont even mention Pacquiao and i dont want no hate.

    I just want intelligent posts, and posters on here. None of this Mayweather Mafia bull**** where guys uneccesarily hype him up against all fighters.

    I repeat, only intelligent posters post.




    Now back on topic, when i consider Floyd against the Ray Leonards, Durans etc etc, i'm never sceptical to the fact that Floyd has the abilty to beat these guys. And i'd always pick Floyd against guys like Ray Leonard, Pernell Whittaker because i think he is capable of beating them both. The only query with Ray Leonard was his power at 147, but Floyds accuracy surpasses Leonards, you guys can beat on me all you want but this is what i think.

    Against Whittaker i always have seen Floyd beating him, in a hypothetical context. Just the way i see it. Whittaker tires towards the end of fights and i see Floyd beating him in a 12 round fight all day long. He decisions him.


    But with Pryor, his power is incredible. I mean the guy could take a shot and could give a shot. He is the only guy that i can clearly say KO's Mayweather.
    As good as Floyds defense is, Pryor's offense was too strong. You cannot shoulder roll a guy throwing bombs with both hands. He is such a strong puncher.

    And when he was throwing punches in angles against Arguello, those punches were devestating.

    This might upset a lot of Floyd fans, but i am a Mayweather fan dont forget. But there's always one guy in history that has the style to beat another fighter, and that guy is Pryor.

    And luckily for Floyd, theres no one fighting today that has the style of Pryor, hence why i think he beats all the other 147 fighters out there today.

      NEITHER DO I.especially if pryor has that black bottle.the hawk just threw too many punches.leonard was quick as floyd, and he hit harder then floyd.i think he could possibly tko floyd hypothetically. i think he could beat whitaker because he'd be too fast for whitaker.the punchstat would be pathetic on both sides though.

      duran would have beating him.i think duran was pretty difficult to hit, and i think he would have hurt floyd.

        Mr boat buyer would lose to Hawk at 140. Couple of threads on this before.

          I ent seen none for a while, but i just watched the 2nd Arguello fight and had to come to terms with the fact that Floyd doesnt beat him at 140.

            at 140, this would be a great fight. i think floyd's defense will win him the fight.

              WTF are you talkin about?

              Pryor can't hold a candle to "Money May".

              Those fighters from back in the day are overrated hype jobs - boxing wasn't even good back then.

              It wasn't until technology kicked in and fighters started training better during the 90's that boxing even became worth watching.

              If you took a guy like Pryor and put him in there against a journeyman today, he'd get KTFO'd.

              Pryor couldn't even beat Manfredy.

                Look as good as Floyds defense is, he cant block or shoulder roll Pryor's bombs. The guy would throw 5/6 punch combination power shots.

                It just isnt happening.


                And Pryor has that energy where he doesnt tire and keeps on going. Regardless of the 'black bottle', look at the 2nd fight, the guy keeps on coming for you.

                  You cant be serious? Pryor cant handle Manfedy but beat Arguello twice?


                  Listen, be honest with yourself or go watch some Pryor fights, you obviously ent seen none.

                    I could see Mayweeather outboxing Pryor, because Pryor was not really the most technically sound fighter, but if Pryor can make it a fight you have to like his chances. Would be a very interesting clash of styles though.
