    Why didnt sugar ray leonard fight aaron pryor

    We know ray was good and fast and everything in between... But this has to go to sleep with him at night and when he wake up in the morning... What are some of boxingscene thoughts of why the fight never took place???

    No one wanted Pryor..........

    Duran and Leonard were scared of him.

        Maybe Leonard knew about Panama Lewis' cheating ways...

            Leonard offered Pryor a fight for a low amount of money, Pryor declined it. End of.


            Pryor has got to be the most overrated fighter in the last 20-30 years.

              Pryor was offered half a million dollars to fight Leonard but declined. I remember reading about it but I don't remember why.

              Would've been a very interesting fight, though.

                  Pryor got offered half a million and declined because he could make more money fighting some one else

                  Its all about MONEY the end of the day

                    High profile fighters always duck serious opponants. They don't want to get exposed!! Leonard with Pryor etc... Holmes with Page etc... Hobkins with Williams etc... Joya with "I'll fight the winner" Margarito, Winky, Forrest, Cotto, etc...
