Where do you guy's rate him all time? At 140 specifically and just overall? From what I saw he seemed like a great fighter and most historians say so, besides the drug use why do you guy's think he's not talked about like the other legends of his era?

dont where if i could rank him..but without the drug use he could has gone far...the guy was alright...i saw a special on him once..their is a guy on here that know alot about him..maybe he will come post something for you.Originally posted by beezy 14 -
Yea I feel you Rosewood he still only had 1 loss which says something,I saw a special 1 to and he was saying how top fighters of that era often ducked him. He ranks high with the Burt Sugar's of the world, but he doesn't get much love on these type of message boards thought I'd ask the fella's why.Comment

Best 140Lb champ ever. He wasn't around long; but he showed enough to convince me he could hang with any figher who ever lived. He was a bad mo-fo who could box, punch, and if you knocked him down, he'd get up, spit in your eye, and kick your ass. B-A-DD...BAADD.Originally posted by beezy 14Comment

The only thing I'm aware of is the HBO "Legendary Nights" special on his famous first fight wit Argueello; but there's some footage that hints of his capabilities and toughness.Originally posted by Rosewood_htownComment

That's what I had heard K-Dogg, and from the few fight's I saw of his he seemed just as you described him. I saw some stuff where some ppl were saying SRL ducked him because of Amateur's or something,it's sad that the drug's shortened his run. Atleast he got his life together saw he was a Preacher now, tried to show him some love he doesn't get much on this board.Comment

Karma to you then for recognizing him. He was one of the best fighters to ever lace up gloves.Originally posted by beezy 14Comment

I gotta say that what made Pryor one of the baddest WW was that he could take any punch you could throw at him, I think he beat Hearns as an amateur or the way to the olympics, i'm not sure. Now i'm nicaraguan and i've seen every round of arguello/pryor, and that son of a ***** took some shots that should have broke his ****in neck or at least sent his head into the cheap seats(what was in the magic bottle? Crack, crystal meth..j/king). Every fight that man was in he'd have nothing but a smile for his opponents hardest shots, and if you knocked him down, he'd get up knock you the **** out. It sucks that he(& Argeullo actually,) fell into drugs, but he couldn't have a very long career with his style of fighting.I dont know about the whole contraversy involved in that fight, and it hurts to say this but he didn't need that bottle, that's just how he does his thing. I dont think he would have beat SRL, but that would have been a fight.Comment
