At 147 I guess Curry bigger and stronger than Arguello would had ko Pryor untested at that welterweight division.

agree. Pryor would be out of his depth against such a bigger man.

I think that Aaron Pryor would be perfect for Donald Curry.

This is the same case as Leonard vs Pryor.

I'm going with the consensus here too.

Curry wins this one.

Pryor talked about wanting to fight Leonard in the early 80s, but never thought of moving up to 147 until 1987, long after Leonard and the great welters of that time, like Curry himself were long gone from the division.

One has to wonder why, especially being a marquee division at the time.

Curry too skilled, too good for Pryor at this time.
