      for me Kostya Tszyu is the greatest 140 pounder ever. but basically Pryor is up there with him, I just think Tszyu had a higher ring IQ

            There was a time when I hated Pryor. He beat one of my all-time favorites, ATG Alexis Arguello...twice. I've matured since then, and now acknowledge Aaron's greatness.

            Here's a little treat, if you've never seen it:

              Yes. Pryor beats everyone at 140 IMO. The only guy who I'd give a shot is a moving-up Duran, but Duran skipped 140 so we'll never know. The beastliness is too much for everyone else. Whitaker can't keep Pryor off him, and Tszyu I think wouldn't be able to stand the pace. Chavez is too hittable.

                  Probably the fighter with one of the biggest wills to win there is. Some people just wouldn't be denied. So damn hungry, so damn good. One of my 5 favorite fighters ever.

                    Alright, Aaron Pyror is a stud a stone cold killer in the ring but if he was around today he would get hated on pretty bad.

                    Cervantes good win for the belt, but dude was pretty much ancient at that point.

                    His two best defenses came against a guy that started at 126 and really didn't prove much at 140. Not to mention the whole bottle thing.

                    After that who is his next best win Akio Kameda? Who is mainly know for his fighting sons?

                    3 really good wins is all it takes to be the best ever at 140?
