Aaron Pryor was worthless

[Tha Greatest]

Pryor was the greatest "finisher" I have seen in over 45 years of following boxing. He was like a shark tasting blood...his eyes actually changed like he was in the throes of a feeding frenzy.
You can't fault somebody for not handling ******* as well as somebody else did. That is the real danger of this ***** of a drug. The guy next to you may be able to do some and quit. While YOU are ready to do anything to get MORE. Pryor was cursed to never have enough. I know of what I speak....in the early 80s, I was in Coke's grips. It was a nightmare that I wouldn't wish on anyone. My advise: if you haven't tried it, DON'T! You really aren't missing anything except a bit of hell on earth.

Aaron now hangs out at a gym in Covington, Kentucky several days a week. It is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati and one of my old stomping grounds.
Bless you Hawk! Stay the course.

karma for u!

"he was better than Leonard, Duran etc"

HAHAHAHAHAHAH HE WAS GREAT BUT NOT BETTER THEN Duran, If ol man Arguello gave him problems imagine what Duran would do.............would of been one hella of a fight.

Arron Pryor

To say that Aaron Pryor is a piece of **** is to show how ****** someone can be. The Hawk fell prey to crack which has someone you know, or in your family
strugggling with it. It happened to overtake Aaron. But what have you accomplished and you don't smoke crack!!!! You couldn't beat any of the guys Aaron did. It's easy to call names when you yourself haven't put on boxing gloves nor got into any ring. You probably got your ass kicked when you grew up. And might still be getting it kicked by your girlfriend or fat ass wife.

i think the guy is mad that hawk wasted his talent for drugs, wouldn't u be pissed, if your son dropped out of high school and could of been a doctor but instead became a crack head.

[MexicanBoxer]

I don't believe that ANYBODY intentionally loses their soul..for ANY period of time.

What is it about "addiction" that you don't understand??

it was fun at the time, he thought " hey, i can control this " but then learned the truth, no one can control their addictions

After watching Pryor beat Arguello in the second fight, I'm reminded what a boxing historian said about Pryor: "He could go hang out with the Pope one night, and he would go smoke crack with some street thug the next" There is nothing more common in this world than wasted talent. Aaron Pryor was that. Alot of people think he could have beat both Leanord and Hearns (who he did as an amatuer) as a pro, but we will never know, because he was such a worthless piece of scum ****. I guess he'll just have to tell people how great he could have been. We can all do that. I hope all the CRACK you smoked Pryor was worth it.

I hope you're just inspiring debate or somehting because if you're a real boxing fan you know that though these guys may be heroic in their competitive spirit ... very few are choirboys in terms of being a role model. Aaron, however is both a great ring warrior and a role model after overcoming his problems with crack addiction. He's a trainer and a family man who also preaches nowadays.

He's doing pretty good compared to most people and had a career second only to a few. You're bashing one of the greatest to lace em up so I'm sorry he fails to meet the standards you've set for success in Life.

If you don't respect Aaron Pryor you don't respect Boxing. We can all tell people how great we could have been and some of us do that despite how we portray ourselves on internet forums. The greatest fighters are invariably the ones who overcome hardship, who get knocked down but stubbornly get up.

Aaron did that in real life so I find that much more impressive.
