What IF: Leonard - Pryor

There was much anticipation for a Leonard - Pryor fight but it never came off.

I believe Arguello - Pryor I showed us what would have happened if there had been a Leonard - Pryor fight, Sugar Ray by way of KO; the clean solid right hands Arguello landed in the late rounds, had they been delivered by Leonard, would have knocked Pryor out.

This is EXACTLY why I don't like 'light" and "super" divisions.

Having weight classes every 5 pounds or so keeps great fights like this from happening.

I'd guess Leonard in a Great Fight.

Leonard for me. I can't decide how but definetly Leonard.

If Arguello troubles Pryor then Leonard definetly beats him.

WIth all due respect, you guys are overlooking a very important variable:

Who is in charge of mixing Aaron Pryor's "water"?

Just kidding, I love Aaron Pryor. But, it's hard to envision him winning here. He was an excellent puncher, but Ray was bigger and
took a punch very well. So many built in advantages for SRL, I think he would really have to fight a dumb fight to lose..

I would have to go with SRL by UD, with some competitive moments in there...

I think it would have been over way before that, gilgamesh. Sugar Ray by KO by round 10th or 11th.

You may be right. I wish we could've seen this fight so we wouldn't have to speculate on it.
