Aaron Pryor

[Kilrain]

So the other day I bought some Aaron Pryor fights, I'd already had the Arguello fights and saw the legendary nights ep HBO did but I wanted to see some of his title defences too. Man oh man. I got this one fight where he fights this Japanese dude Akio Kameda who at the time was 17-0 (14) and I think Pryor was 30-0 (28). Anyway the fight is ****ing INSANE. It's better than Hagler-Hearns. Total slugfest. Kameda drops Pryor with 3 straight punches in rd 1 as Pryor is coming out of throwing a big barrage with his chin in the air. Pryor gets up and fights on. Over the next 5 rounds he drops Kameda 4 or 5 times and the fight is called off in the 6. It's nonstop action and I'd recommend every1 to pick up this fight if they aint already cause no1 ever mentions it but it was a first class war with both trading power shots the whole fight.

Another fight I got was of Pryor destroying this Korean guy, I think his name is Kim. That one only lasted a couple of rounds, Pryor was chilling in that fight.

You gotta say Pryor would've been a problem for anyone in history at 140 lbs. Not off the basis of these fights, I know they weren't stellar opposition (though Kameda was very underrated, southpaw, strong punch, very physically strong) but his wins over Arguello proved his quality. The guy was a ****ing typhoon. Nonstop. Quick hands, very heavy-handed and he crunched lethal bodyshots in too. I can only imagine what wars we would get if u matched Pryor with other great 140 lb'ers like Tszyu, Chavez, Benitez etc

His fight with Dejuan Johnson was very entertaining too.

Which is why Sugar Ray Leonard never wanted to fight hum. He was ascared. They were all scared. Pryor would of been great at 147 to.

Are you claiming that fights worth millions of dollars are made in interviews, and not in negotiations with contracts and lawyers?

After all, true intent to face a fighter is "calling him out", right? It's not a signature on a contract.

First of all the window of opportunity for them to fight was really small.

Leonard offered Pryor his biggest purse of his career up to that point. By the time Pryor made his first million dollars on a fight against Arguello, Leonard retired I think.... Or barely announced his retirement.

And, I never got this. If Pryor really wanted the fight so bad why didn't he do what Duran did and move up to WW?

I was being sarcastic.

I've gone on about the Legendary Nights myths and people's 5th grade obsession with "call-outs" countless times.

I knew you was, and I have read your other posts talking about this same topic.


I was just stating some of my opinions for other guys who get on this thread and believe that legendary night myth.
