Aaron Pryor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. at 140, who wins?

[wmute]

( I have note made my mind yet, I ll post a prediction later)

but seriously, who do you want to see pbf fight and beat, to concede that maybe pryor (whose biggest wins are against a smaller fighter and a much older fighter) is not going to stop him?

If Aaron did win, it would be by KO...

I don't see that happening, Floyd by a close UD.

Does Pryor get to drink the mixed bottle?

The Hawk fought like a maniac, he would literally make Floyd cry. It would be painful to watch.

I know Pryor was an ATG, but i still feel that Floyd is too slick and too fast at140, and he still had enough pop in his punches to keep Pryor off him.

Pryor's reputation is based mostly on wins over Cervantes and a faded former featherweight Arguello. Mayweather would pick up the early rounds, it's difficult to see how he couldn't. DuJuan Johnson did well for four or five rounds against Pryor. And Norman Goins did very well against Pryor back in 1979. I just don't think Pryor has ever fought anybody with near the speed of a 140lb Mayweather, the Gatti fight is speed, speed, speed as well as skills, just blinding speed. Antonio Cervantes had seen better days, and as great as Arguello was, he just didn't have the speed of a Mayweather. Aaron is hittable, and you don't want to be hittable against Floyd Mayweather because he can maneuver himself before releasing so that he'll be almost instantly in position to roll and evade after releases.

I don't see Pryor winning this, he was awesome, a machine but Mayweather is just something else. If it was judged on workrate then maybe Pryor would win every round, but fights shouldn't be judged on workrate. The objective is to hit and not get hit and Pryor would bring the best out of Mayweather which is a scarey thought. I actually see Mayweather leading off then making Pryor miss more so than looking to make him miss then counter, because he's smart enough not to give that beast momentum. Pryor had a very good jab, but cannot quite match Mayweather with left hands. Pryor was very fast, but Mayweather's allaround speed of hand, foot, body and thought is on another level.

Can't see past Mayweather. Sorry.

You're talking about faded top class fighters to diminish Pryor's status and using a shot C-class fighter to big-up Floyd's? Don't get it.

I'm not using Gatti to big up Mayweather, I'm using Mayweather's sheer skills against Gatti to big up Mayweather. And remember, Gatti was only a 'bum' after the fight!
