more wars occur in philly gyms than any other, you deny this???
yeah....but we also have 5x the gyms of just about any other city.
Believe me....the SWEET science is being taught, thoroughly, by Philly's trainers.
The neighborhood rivalry thing played a big part in sparring sessions turning into wars. But, that's been OVERPLAYED....& certainly doesn't happen like it used to..
Aaron Pryor, was a great & exciting fighter. As exciting as anyone you'll ever see.
We know what he could've been, if he wouldn't have been a junkie.
I loved him, as a fighter, in his prime.....
But, now he's become mythical. Mythical, & better than he actually was.
Exactly. Hev started crying like a school girl the second someone disagreed with him instead of trying to hold up his opinion like an adult.
cried like a schoolgirl eh? Let me refresh your memory, you were the one to first make this personal.

ill give him credit for hearns benitez and duran..but hagler? hagler challenged him and he punked out like a *****, then he waited until hagler was so far out of his prime he couldve been a grandfather. and even then he pulled a DLH vs tito and danced around him forever, only flurrying at the ends of rounds to win on the cards. ray ducked prime hagler JUST LIKE HE DUCKED PRYOR. i think the only reason ray won the fight vs hagler is because he was more of a media darling. and even then, i had hagler winning that fight, although i value aggressiveness more than most other things.
the way you said it makes it sound like he beat a prime hagler.
overrated? HA! if anything pryor is UNDERRATED!
you can see the fear in ray leonards voice and eyes, at that press conference. i rest my case.
you then responded with this:

What case ?
damn, bro'....I saw fear in Pryor's eyes when SAOUL MAMBY was mentioned to him ?
He ducked Mamby.
ha-ha....Actually, he didn't duck Mamby...he just knew Saoul was a smaller fish to fry.
This is just the way Leonard viewed Pryor.
Were you even born yet, back in '81-'82 ?
If not, please don't tell me about what was going on then.
Case is closed now.
You are saying because I'm younger than you, I don't know what the **** I'm talking about, like I can't download Pryor's fights or something. What secret did I miss by being younger, not being able to watch the fights on TV? I really don't understand, but as you can see, you were the one that made it personal first.
after this I called you ignorant for criticizing Pryor for not moving up, comparing Leonard to Pryor like they were the same size, when leonard is actually the much bigger mesomorph. which isn't crying, it's saying the ****ing truth, any true knowledgeable boxing fan would deem what you said plain outright ignorant, and that's a fact. You downplayed Pryor's not moving up in weight by comparing Pryor's height difference from Leonards by crediting Leonard for his fight with Hearns, forgetting that Hearns is a natural ectomorph, of course he can be tall at that weight without a problem, while the more muscular pryor would have an obvious problem doing that.
Then you asked me if I was high,in a feeble attempt to dismiss your ignorance statement where you owned yourself in the post just before that, and here's where it really started.
