This is a great matchup. The slick defensive minded Sweat Pea against the whirlwind punching machine The Hawk. They may both be gone both taken away at a young age but never forgotten especially by us fight fans.

At 140 pounds Junior Welterweight.

Whitaker's movement and inside fighting would be key. I think he was stronger inside than the Hawk.

Sweet Pea will not be a stationary target. He was always giving angles to frustrate the opponent.

Whitaker by unanimous decision.

I think Aaron's constant production will offset any offensive and defensive manuevers that Pernell has, but it will be close. Aaron by a couple of knockdowns and a UD.

Aaron would have his moments, and Pernell would have to be at his best to avoid most of the incoming from the steady attack of Pryor, but I think he'd do it, and answer back with enough clean shots to eke out a close UD.

It'd be a really interesting fight.

Whitaker, and he would definitely make it interesting. Aaron would be totally frustrated in his effort.

Aaron Pryor did not had the inside game that Pernell Whitaker had. People forgot that Sweet Pea was very strong inside. And used angles to frustrate and beffudle an opponent.

Same size the boxer beats the puncher usually

Pryor wasn't exactly a huge puncher, just a steady attacking volume puncher. I mean he wasn't exactly feather fisted, but he wasn't a dynamite puncher either.
