    Your thoughts on Aaron Pryor

    What are your thoughts on Aaron Pryor, what would have happened if he never got his coke addiction, I really wanted to see him fight Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns..

    He did beat Thomas Hearns as a amateur, but i wish they fought again as a pro cuz thats when hearns was hot, and ****in leonard ducked him!

    Aaron Pryor is on my top 3 favorite fights of all time, i got him. thomas hearns, and marvin hagler on that list, no particular order

    I think he could've accomplished a lot in his career
    He had a very cool additude to
    He had all this guys around him, he would yell "what time is it!?" they would yell "hawk time"

    He was a scary guy to be fighting to, and i love his style and the way he fights, he has maybe one of the biggest hearts i've ever seen in a fighter

    Great topic man. Excellent. I would like to say that He is one of my all time favorite fighters as well. This guy was a ridiculous fighter, just a machine...plain and simple. Especially in his prime. The only way for someone to beat him, was to knock him out. There was no way to simply outpoint him, because he was very quick. People rarely talk about his speed in the ring. He was lighting fast, and would simply bum rush opponents and attack them. He is one of the most Ruthless fighters I have ever seen as well.

    His knockout of Cervantes was awesome. Successions of power punches would lead to the doom of virtually everyone he ever faced in his entire career. I am still in shock that his only loss was To Bobby Joe Young, a fighter whom I though he would beat if they faced again. Of course, his demolishing of Arguello 2 times is the most notable, but this guy had plenty of fights.

    I also belive Ray Leonard moved Up to avoid him. There was no denying that>

    He kicked Hearns' ass in the ameteurs, and nobody can challenge him at any weight he fought at in his prime. NOBODY.

      hmm

      Aaron Pryor was a badass, plain and simple, and he did have a chance to beat Leonard if they had fought.

      Finally we agree on something Knives.

          Hearns as a pro and Leonard as a pro would have been too much for him at 147.

          Outside of that, I loved the Hawk and he gave us two fantastic fights against Arguello. His workrate and determination are paralleled by few. He was a joy to watch in his prime.

              Worst drug on the face of the earth. Crack is a plauge. Plain and simple. That has destroyed life after life. People sell everything important to them, destroy their lives in pursuit of it. I have seen FIRST HAND the horrors involved with smoking Rock, and Its too damn bad Pryor fell victim. Yes. Horrible.
              People who sell it to fiends, should be shot IMO. And I know exactly why. **** gets you nowhere.
              Like DMX says:
              "Ive done been to hell and back....I aint wit sellin Crack....Rather Robb a *****, Leave em witha shell up in his back." Yes true. Sell them crack, you kill them slowly.

              Just look what it did to Tapia, and he is one of the GREATEST fighters of ALL TIME.

                Simply a machine that didn't stop. He'd run after you at the start of the bell and never stop. Decent power, incredible stamina, and durability. Though he is probably the greatest 140 pound fighter, or at least one of them, his overall achievements aren't too mind boggling.

                His greatest victory was against Alexis Arguello, who was a couple years and two weight classes past his prime. Nevertheless, they were impressive victories against a favored opponent (if i remember correctly).

                Would've lost to Hearns and Leonard, imo. Amatuer fights mean almost nothing in the pros.
