FANTASY FIGHT PRYOR VS HEARNS 1980

[marchegiano007]

WHAT IF PRYOR WOULD HAD MOVE TO THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION . AND FOUGHT HEARNS, DURAN, BENITEZ, LEONARD. HE CHALLENGED ONLY LEONARD BUT NEVER WANTED TO FIGHT AT WELTER. TO FORCED LEONARD TO FIGHT HIM OR SOMEBODY ELSE WITH A BIG NAME AT WELTER. HE SHOULD HAD CAMPAING AT WELTER IN 1980. JUST HAD ONE OR 2 FIGHTS AT JR WELTERWEIGHT AND THEN MOVE TO WELTERWEIGHT THE BIG MONEY FIGHTS WERE THERE. BAD DECISION BY PRYOR TO KEEP FIGHTING AT JR WELTERWEIGHT JUST BECAUSE ARGUELLO MOVED TO JRWELTERWEIGHT. BUT THAT WAS HIS ONLY BIG FIGHTS. HE WAITED TO MUCH FOR MANCINI A FIGHTER HE COULD HAD BEAT INSIDE 10 ROUNDS. I THINK HE WOULD HAD LOST TO MOST OF THE TOP WELTERWEIGHTS. HE WOULD HAD BEEN COMPETITIVED BUT FOR SOME REASON HE PREFERED TO STAY AT JR WELTERWEIGHT AND ONLY TO TAKE A CHANCE AGAINST LEONARD. HE NEVER MENTION ANOTHER TOP WELTERWEIGHT OR JR MIDDLEWEIGHT. TO MUCH WEIGHT FOR HIM.

Bobby Joe Young AND ONLY Bobby Joe Young could defeat Pryor. Period. So nothing changes.

Well unless he actually faced any of the WW names you just mentioned. Something Pryor did not and would not do. However if you could somehow gather enough determined people together to brutally force Aaron into the ring with any of those names, then things WOULD indeed be different. Because each and every fighter you just mentioned would have one additional "W" on their current record.

pryor's body look like duran's even leonard after retiring at the end of the arguello vs pryor fight he said he has the size to compete at welterweight. he would had faced milton mckrory and donald curry i gues he could had ko milton and lost to curry. the same to arguello he should had move earlier. to lightweight in 1979. arguello was tall. with a good diet plan and a bodybuilding program he coul had enter the million dollar paydays in the welterweight division.

Maybe he could have patented the ol' "Blue Bottle Victory Elixer" as well. Could have made a fortune on that alone.

LOL. YES OF COURSE NOTHING TO TAKE AWAY FROM PRYOR GREAT BOXER. STILL A FUNNY THING WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN ROUNDS 13TH AND THE 14TH PRYOR WALK SLOWLY AT THE END OF THE 13 ROUND CHECKED THE VIDEO. AND SUDDENLY HE HAD MORE ENERGY THAN EVER BEFORE I HAD NEVER SEEN A BOXER WITH THAT KIND OF ENERGY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS LOOK AT LEONARD VS HEARNS. WAS A TKO. BUT LEONARD PAUSED SOMETIMES BEFORE MAKING THE COMBINATIONS THAT STOPPED HEARNS. BUT PRYOR. WHEN HE HURT ARGUELLO. IN THE 14TH HE NEVER STOPPED PUNCHING IT LOOKED LIKE A BOXING MACHINE. THE REMATCH. WELL ARGUELLO WAS NEVER THE SAME AND SUFFER A WORST LOST TO PRYOR. THE FIRST FIGHT SHOULD HAD BEEN STOPPED EARLIER. BEFORE PRYOR LANDED THE LAST 2 RIGHT HANDS. THE REF SHOULD HAD STOPPED WHEN PRYOR SNAPPED THE HEAD OF ARGUELLO TWICED AGAINST THE ROPES. AND ARGUELLO SHOULD NOT HAD COLLAPSED. LIKE THE FIRST CORRALES VS CASTILLO FIGHT WHEN CORRALES SNAPPED THE HEAD OF CASTILLO THE REF INMEDIATLY STEPPED IN AND STOPPED THE FIGHT IF THE REF SHOULD HAD LET CORRALES TO KEEP PUNCHING CASTILLO WITH HIS HANDS DOWN CASTILLO WOULD HAD COLLAPSED LIKE ARGUELLO IN THE FIRST FIGHT. AND IN THE REMATCH CORRALES WOULD HAD MAYBE FOUGHT A BETTER FIGHT AS I PREDICTED A VICTORY FOR CASTILLO BECAUSE EVEN THOUGHT CORRALES WON THE FIRST FIGHT HE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK MORE PUNISHMENT. A BOXER THAT IS UNCONCIOSS FOR MANY MINUTES NEVER FORGET THAT. BUT THE REF STEPPED IN IN TIME SO CASTILLO WAS OK. ARGUELLO BAD LUCK THE REF DID NOT STEPPED IN EARLIER SO HE WOULD NOT COLLAPSED. IN THE REMATCH ARGUELLO COULD HAD FOUGHT A BETTER FIGHT. SMALL DETAILS IN FIGHTS BUT THAT COULD CAUSED A DIFFERENT FIGHT IN REMATCHES.

..these fantasy fights are in your dreams and in pryor's nightmares.

(dammit buzzy - tried to retire from the pryor career ages okay. I don't think i survived that operation last march to get back in again.)
