[quote="elmersalsa"]How about if we match the great Aaron Pryor with these fighters at their very best between 135 and 147lbs:

What the end would be?[quote]

1. vs Sugar Ray Leonard at 147lbs -Leonard outboxes him to ttake a decision.
2. vs Thomas Hearns at 147lbs-Hearns stops him withthe right in a back and forth war.
3. vs Roberto Duran at 135, 140 or 147lbs-Duran just tto much for most at 135lb.
4. vs Julio Cesar Chavez at 135 or 140lbs-Chavez was just as strong, better bodypuncher and had a much better chin, Chavez by UD in a grea fight.
5. vs Pernell Whitaker at 135 or 140lbs-I see Aaron gving Pea lots of trouble with his swarming attack. I 'll say it's a pick em'.
6. vs Carmen Basilio at 147lbs-WOW two trains too close to call.
7. vs Pipino Cuevas at 147lbs-Both fighters suufer KD but i see AAron prevailing in the end.
8. vs Wilfred Benitez at 140lbs-Benitez at his best boxes circels around AAron he my gte dropped but he'll finish on his feet to take decision.
9. vs Carlos Ortiz at 135lbs-Carlos was a beauty of a fighter with a solid chin, Ortiz by UD.
10. vs Ismael Laguna at 135lbs-Haven't seen enough to give a fair prediction.
11. vs Ken Buchanan at 135lbs-I give Aaron a real good shot at beationg Buchanan but won't be suprised to see it go the other way.
12. vs Nicolino Locche at 140lbs-the defensive wizard would have Aaron all ove the place, Locche by DEC.

I think he makes a fairly good gate keeper....
But if you can't beat him in your prime and your a lightweight or above then you run the risk of losing your "all time great" status.

However as a gate keeper he should never be allowed to roam the halls of the ATG mansion himself.
