The Cincinnati Hawk vs The Golden Boy at 135 or 140lbs. Who wins?

I will pick Aaron Pryor by late knockout.

Great match.I don't know.I watched Pryor and always felt he was a little overrated.
He had a great ko percentage but I never really thought he hit as hard as his record indicated,it was more an accumulation.And his style was unorthodox which wasn't easy to train for.
To me his best wins were against Arguello.And Arguello was a great fighter but to me,was a little past his best and looking to be beaten by a quicker busy fighter.

De la Hoya was just as fast(maybe faster) ,busy,good puncher and boxer and a good chin.Plus he had the height and reach.
I think De la Hoya would decision him.And if he doesn't,I think it'd be real close.

Aaron by close Ud. The pressure he applied to Oscar would be the difference.
