    lol
    lmao

        I know you weren't attacking me, I was merely explaining that. I would have responded much differently if I felt that.

          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?
          THIS.

          Most Pryor fans here in NSB aren't even old enough to have seen his career unfold, they learned about it after the fact, and many tooke the bait on the myth perpetuated by HBO's "Legendary Nights" episode on Pryor/Arguello.

          I'd take a 140lbs Whitaker or a 140lbs Mayweather to run game on him all night long.

              I've been watching pryor fights for the past couple of months, so its funny to me he's a topic today. Idk about best ever, but I will say this dude was an absolute ****in Beast!! If he was fighting today he would be 1 of the most entertaining and feared boxers right now!

                Slick guys would cause Pryor real problems, in a fight it is tough to pick against Pryor but guys who will try and defuse him he could easily be had.

                Luckily for him most of the top 140 pounders all time outside of Locche and Loi are more fighters than boxers, and who really knows Locche and Loi outside of a select few~

                    Prime by prime? I think Timmy decisions him no problem,and you have to consider that Pryor´s legendary stamina will be forever questioned due to his scumbag trainer.

                      I'm not old enough to have followed Pryor career..But I watch a lot of his fights and from what my uncle has told me about him he might be one of the best of all time..I'm also saying this cause he had a great fighting style..
