I just don't see it. The areas where Nelson was losing the fight in, Pryor is better. Pryor also has the better stamina and chin, and would have more ring experience. So if Nelson lasts 15 before a stoppage, how does Pryor not make it to the finish line? You bring up some questionable Pryor performances, but you can chalk that up to fighting at the level of the opposition.

Originally posted by Obama View PostA green Nelson beat the hell out of Sanchez. I had him up by a point or two before the stoppage. Pyror would be attacking Sanchez in much of the same way, except with better balance, better chin, and obviously more experience to know how to cope with Sanchez.
Pryor by decision. His first fight with Arguello says it all. Even if you beat his ass, he'd come back stronger and make you pay for it.

What makes you think Pryor had a better chin than Nelson? id hazard a guess that Pryor visited the canvas more times than Nelson, Pryor got dropped many times.
Because Nelson had a great chin to and he was never dispatched like that by anyone else in career.
If you think Pryor win thats cool because its a hard fight to call, but i myself think Sanchez would win and whilst im not saying he would KO Pryor, im not ruling it out either, because even if Pryor's tendency to leave his chin out did not get him knocked out, it would most prolly make it easier for Sanchez to land clean hard shots on him to rack up points to score a decision.
But its a close fight so........

Originally posted by Obama View PostEh, you may be right about the chin. I guess the obvious disparity is the recovery skills. Pryor went down, then came back up like he was fresh as a daisy.
Nelson did not ? Nelson's chin was just as good.
He did not look fresh as a daisy when he got hit hard by Johnson.
