Leonard would hve toyed with Pryor. The reason they never fought was Pryor didn't bring money and he wasn't at Leonards weight.

Odd boxing fact.
AaronPryor once got knocked down, did a backwards somersault, got to his feet and hit his opponent before the ref could intervene for the count

Originally posted by Bhopreign View PostUmm yea, offered him peanuts, Im sure Leonard would have made at least 10 times that.
There were also accusations of Leonard ducking Thomas Hearns, the top welterweight in the world. Sugar Ray would have been given hell had he chosen to fight Pryor, who had never fought at welterweight, instead of Hearns.
Still, he made an offer to Pryor and Pryor declined. When Pryor became a name by beating Arguello, Leonard had already retired.Last edited by TheGreatA; 06-03-2009, 11:10 AM.
