Alexis Arguello could have fought an easier opponentand would have become the first fighter in history to win 4 titles, but being that he was no cherry picker, he decided to fight the hardest opponent at the time which was Pryor. He had the balls to fight Aaron where others ducked him, that alone gives him a lot of credit of being an ATG.
And Pryor took energy drink lol

Arguello definetly a great
Pryor le ganó a Alexis Argüello haciendo trampa (con la bebida energizante...doping); después de las peleas con Argüello Pryor ya no fué el mismo, luego ya no le sirvió ni drogas ni doping...lo cogió Bobby Joe Young y le propinó severa paliza y le ganó por nocaut.
Un saludo.
Thank you for that..the Thin Man was an all time great..love that dude..RIP warrior..
Arron Pryor was the best. He was ducked and dodged by many and had an outstanding chin.
Sugar ray Leonard was scared of him and moved up weight 😐🤣💀
@@jaysonortiz268well they were about to fight but Leonard had a damaged retina during sparring so I wouldn’t say he ducked him just wrong timing
RIP Aaron Pryor
Aaron Pryor after ALL the drama, after ALL the drugs, lost one fight in his whole career. And it was towards the end of his career. He had no one "looking out" for his interest and would fight absolutely anyone if they had the guts to get in the ring. Mayweather is great and I give him all respect but if those two men met in their prime, Pryor would've knocked him out no doubt in my mind.
Pryor was absolutely the man among men and I'm talking men like Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, and Duran.....
Rip Aaron Pryor...☝️
If you actually saw his "one lost" then you would realize that he didn't lost that fight. The KO punch missed him 100%.
Duran, Hearns, Hagler, and Leonard could beat him. Pacquiao, Castillo, Maidana and Moseley all lost to the Judges and Referees.👍
@@gilmari1521 "Could" is like the word "If", we could guess all day long. As for Leonard, he did everything possible to avoid a match with Pryor--so Leonard would probably disagree with you.
What a display of disrespectfulness towards Floyd Mayweather. Floyd would have beat your flat footed ass up. .
w/out drugs aaron would lose to mayweather...aaron knew that w/ no drugs he couldnt win any strong opponent..cheats r cheats n ur wins become phony.
people give Aaron a thumbs down probably never seen him fight... he was definitely a force to be reckoned with... watch his fights before you throw him to the side
Both sugar ray and hearns moved up a weight class to avoid fighting Pryor. Hearns already took a shit kicking at the hands of Pryor early in his career.
silvertrigga i totally agree man. He is without a doubt in my top 10 mad dog punchers/aggressors. With hearns and nigel benn. Mayweather wouldnt touch a hair from his porn moustache.
Totally agree, Pryor was so fast from the get go until the end of his fights, he would batter mayweather, mayweather has never fought anyone in Pryor class it would terrify him....
YES SIR THE GREAT AARON HAWK PRYOR
@@spencerglover1 ✔💯💯💪😎
People never talk about the skillset of this man. If you actually watch his fights and took time to study him, you'd see that Mayweather got a lot of things from him too! To be honest, Pryor could do everything that Floyd could do. That's why Floyd has Pryor on his ATG list.
@Channel144 Everybody remembers his chin and pace but he gets no credit for his unique, never duplicated style which was based on pure boxing fundamentals. Movement in 3 dimensions, often at the same time, dispensed with defense because his movement was his defense. Why he never got caught flush. I don't rate The Hawk as the greatest because he's in a class all by himself.
Pryor was a tremendous fighter. In his very early career, when he was in his late teens, he fought--and handily beat--Thomas Hearns. You can see the video here on RUclips! He fought like a Henry Armstrong, relentlessly and courageously coming forward on his opponent.
Hearns offered to fight him in the pros. Pryor wanted none of that.
He defeated The entire Kronk stable of Tommy Hearns, Hilmer Kenty, and Milton McCrory the same weekend
@@jasonmoody4219the money was right
Fantastic comparison. He definitely reminded me of Armstrong. Just a nightmare to be in the ring with. He smothered fighters.
@@jasonmoody4219 Horseshit. Pryor was afraid of noone. Leonard ducked him and so did Tommy. Pryor would've beat them both.
Rest in power . Mr Pryor
I was sad to find out he passed away last year. Wow could he fight.
You know you great when your name comes up in every boxing conversation TMT
Hawk was too much for anyone. Leonard ducked him.
Not sure where you got this fight was signed for $750K CRAP- the likes of Bruce Finch and Larry Bonds got nearly that much if not more for fighting Leonard on HBO. And more importantly Leonard was signed and ready to fight Roger Stafford when his detached retina was discovered in April 1982 then his ridiculous overblown retirement announcement in November 1982.
Lets be clear nobody knows who would have won for sure, I believe BOTH Leonard and Donald Curry would have beaten Pryor at 147 BUT Pryor would have undoubtedly annihilated any of the Mayweather family, anybody who doubts this please refer to how well Money dealt with the pressure of Jose Luis Castillo - who Pryor was a million times better than!
Everyone ducked Pryor except Tommy Hearns.
Leonard much bigger at welter no chance
@@parkerbohnn Hearns and Pryor only fought in the amateurs with Pryor winning, it's on RUclips.
Ray was worked over by Pryor in sparring.
With respect to the difference between sparring vs being under the brights getting ready to fight, in front of thousands, Ray (who feared NO fellow fighter) knew full well the hell he was in for if he was to face "the Hawk."
Aaron Pryor is one of the all-time great 140 lb champions, if not the greatest. He was a relentless boxer puncher who could counter your counter and overwhelm his opponents into submission.
+MK Dallas True but he is also one of the greatest wasted boxing talents because of his drug use a the leeches he kept around him .
I'll agree with that!
I met Pryor and got his autograph at a gas station in August 84, in Canoga Park. A gentleman, humble kind and top drawer. He looked high though and was sweating a lot. A prime Pryor was nearly invincible, he would beat Msuweather at 140, to much power, and he had a chin like granite. I take the Hawk in 8 by TKO
Pryor was a legend. He was a great boxer. But he fought only one great fighter in Arguello. Alexis was on his way out when they fought. So sad he never fought against Duran, Sugar Ray and Hearns.
All Factual
Legendary CHEATER
My favorite of all time. What a beast
Pryor and many other’s are correct about Floyd Jr. In the 70’s and 80’s era, even the early 90’s, Floyd would have a MINIMUM of 6 losses on his record!!!!
He would have DEFINITALY gotten knocked out by Duran, Hearns, Ray Leonard, Terrible Terry Norris, and a couple of others!!!!
Floyd just happen to come along in a era when fighter’s from 20-30 years just don’t exist!!!! Hell, Floyd fought Mosley and De La Hoya at the tail end of their careers. Fought a very drained Corrales!!!! And he ducked Winky Wright and Kostya Tszyu!!!! Floyd is real good, NOT great!!!! Huge difference!!!!
Yup. He's real good..... real good at picking his opponents and making sure to fight them when they pose the least threat. Lol! But I do agree with you. He's really good definitely not great. A bugging genius, not defensive genius. That would go to guys like Pernell "sweet pea" Whittaker. Q: And since when did excessive hugging become legal?
A: Since Floyd became a cash cow.
Aaron Pryor would of whooped his ASS !! Pryor was a real fighter warrior come to fight ! Not run and hold !
Are you joking? Pryor had no defense
Nicara Calloway Exactly! Pryor was nearly as good defensively as Mayweather! The fighters who fought during that era are really underestimating Mayweather’s overall skills!
@@nicaraacalloway lol!! Right!!
Mayweather would beat arron Pryor, I loved Pryor but he couldn't have handled Mayweather's defensive skills and boxing IQ
@@thecounselorace621 Floyd has no power, Pryor would have walked right through him.
Pryor at 140 lbs possibly one of the few that might've. Pryor might be even better if he went to the body and tucked his chin down a little. Even so he stood up under Arguello's perfect rights. Hearns at 147 might also be on the list of tempting bets in a dream fight with Floyd. I'm pretty sure that Floyd could be hurt if a puncher like Hearns ever managed to hit him right.
Pryor's only loss came after a two and a half year layoff, a cocaine addiction, and being blind in one eye. The only guy who could beat Aaron Pryor was Aaron Pryor.
God don't make fighters like the Hawk anymore.
The hawk was one of a kind. He damn sure would have gave floyd a run for his money. He was tougher than nails had great movement and came to hawk your ass down.
Pryor trained at a camp in my hometown back in the 90s and I got to learn from him. He told us stories that were amazing. Sometimes about boxing, sometimes about life and how a person is responsible for his own destiny. Some of the kids there didn't even realize they were learning from a champion. One of the best to ever put gloves on.
@TRU Sev On yes. All a boxer needs is asthma medication and he'll be champion, right?
@TRU Sev On I'm not your buddy shitstain. Nobody is. You spend your time watching videos about a guy you believe is a cheat. That says all we need to know about you.
@TRU Sev On find a better hobby
Saw both fight in their prime. Aaron Pryor would have destroyed Mayweather. People tend to forget how great of a fighter Pryor was. I'm not one of them.
Erik Hernandez so True, mayweather has never fought anyone in Pryors Class, Aaron would batter him...
He was amazing. His chin was granite. His will indomitable. His relentlessness unparalleled. No one could weather the storm because it came every single round until the reff called it.
RESPECT YES SIR THE HAWK WAS ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS
Fkn CHEAT !!!!!

Not only could they fight.They actually WANTED to fight the top guys and did.

Would have loved to watch Aaron Pryor destroy mayweather. You can run but you can't hide from the hawk.
Floyd would pick Pryor apart

Every, every, EVERY fighter believes he can’t be beat. In order to be great you have to have that frame of mind!
No arguing with this comment. I think so too even if both were magically in their prime.
This dude would receive a boxing lesson from the first bell 🛎
AP was a super talent, one of the all time greats
Frigin drug addict
@@godislove6013 same as ur granny
@@godislove6013 Why would you spend your time watching videos about him? Freaking pansy
I just want to say that when the Hawk a great one fought Argüello, Alexis was on his way out, already a 25 year veteran, 30 and 31 years old. It would have been something else at 26-27. But the fights were great and something to remember. Alexis was also going to another weight division, the fourth one, which diminishes his punching power.
We can tot hear anything from this interview, why not editing it and put some subtitles? It is interesting, good job!
Pryor was a great boxer that came right at you there is nobody like him in boxing today the way his combinations was thrown hitting fighters constantly with both hands and let me say he carried power in both hands I don't really know if a 140 could beat him today definitely not a 135 could have!!
Geez Roberto Duran walking behind him. What a great era!
Watching a Tasmanian Devil with a granite chin fight a defensive savant with tremendous offensive skills would have been otherworldly. Pryor was the original force of nature.
Rest in Power The Great Aaron Pryor It’s Hawk Time!!! God Bless Your Soul.
R.I.P The Hawk Aaron Pryor.
My favourite fighter of all time hands down he gave every opponet nightmare even before they get in the ring with this man was so relentless none stop with excessive energy and he can take a punch also and is foot speed and atleticism was most outstanding
He is right!
Great champion!
That's Duran behind him @ :30. Now there is the guy that would have whipped Aaron @ 140...
@Fits had a good shot.
You took Arguellos punch cause come is a pain killer..
Styles influence ring generalship along with positioning, in a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Aaron Pryor, Pryor would, guaranteed, stuff and smother Mayweather give him no room for shoulder faints and outwork, outpunch and stop Floyd at some point, bet on it. Floyd is a decent puncher but no where near the power needed to keep Pryor off him, Floyd needs room to work and Aaron doesn't, he beat Tommy Hearns nine out of eleven times in the amateurs, he'd be Mayweathers worst nightmare.
Him and Alexis Arguello two all time greats RIP.
Something got this dude sweating....woooooooo!
Aaron was a great fighter. End of story
I believe it.
A dream match I would prefer would be at 140lbs Roberto Duran and Pryor. Both guys pace would have been unreal.
I believe so pryor is a slick intelligent and a great finisher
Pryor would have been too busy for Floyd. I don't think that there would have been a knockout from any side, but Pryor's work rate would have gotten a unanimous decision.
Nahhh... yall be underestimating Floyds mental toughness and IQ. He would walk Pryor into all kinds of traps. And he wouldnt be there to get pounded on.
@@jamarmoore9548 maybe Floyd at 135 would stand a better chance, but Floyd at 147 was wayyy too inactive for Pryor. I understand that styles matter but look at the trouble Floyd had with Maidana who was nowhere near as quick, accurate or as hard hitting as Pryor. The only way to beat Pryor would be sticking and moving...fast. Pretty Boy had a shot, money had none.
I use to spar Aaron at the Emmanuel Community Center in Cincinnati. A really nice guy, nobody worked harder than him, he had to so to get out of that God awful ghetto he was in.
I've made a lot of winning bets on Floyd Jr ever since he won his 1st title at 130 lbs. But I didn't make any more bets against Aaron after losing $20 on the 1st Arguello fight. Aaron's only faults are too much headhunting and keeping that chin too high in a crouch. But Floyd isn't the puncher at 140 that Arguello was and never fought anyone quite like relentless, enduring and purposeful Aaron. You sure didn't want to languish on the ropes with this guy no matter how good Floyd is fighting off the ropes. I'm seeing a good fight here but I'm not making anymore foolish fanboy bets against Aaron Pryor, not even in any dreamed about fight.
I agree
Why do I feel this is not bragging?
I loved Pryor but mayweather was too pinpoint and precise and probably wins by unanimous decision.
Mayweather had problems with busy fighters that came forward throwing many punches. Aaron might have beat Mayweather.
@C.F. You need to watch Mayweather against the drunken boxer he movements was some like AP
@ronsmac What would Floyd hit? Pryor was constant movement.
@@zachmartin1458 Pryor got hit a lot but had a ton of heart. The way he recovered from that knockdown against Cervantes was legendary. And he ate so many right hands against arguello and shook them off. He did have a little help from the “special mix” but it was still a great fight.
BANG RIGHT!
Basically the Hawk says it correctly..
Ur an idiot, no one knows what would happen. Of course he's gonna say that, he's a fighter. Great fantasy fight tho
Pryor vs the man behond him wouldve been even greater bout
Wanted to say Arguello was a 15 year veteran.
I agree with him
The hawk would've ripped Leonard if Leonard actually fought him imo
Pryor would have destroyed floyd.The hawk was brutal in the ring & he was also a good boxer.
*****
I agree 100% that hearns would not only have been floyds toughes opponent but also he would have destroyed floyd.Hearns 6'1 frame & those extremely long arms would have given floyd huge problems,not only that I believe 100% he would have stopped floyd.A 5'9 39 year old mosely seriously hurt floyd with one right hand than hearns would have taken his head off.Most experts class hearns as p4p the hardest puncher of all time & I think he was aswell.He was also a good boxer & had fairly quick reflexes.Its very hard to defend against some one who towers over you than some one who is the same height or a couple inches taller.The reason i thought pryor would have beaten floyd is that he was so active & would have put floyd on the defence all night & you can not win a fight covering up all night.Pryor is not just an arm puncher he went into the fight against arguello with a record of 320030ko,hardly an arm puncher,not to mention the way he destroyed arguello in the 14th rd,one of the most brutal stoppages i have seen in boxing.You do not stop a great fighter like argello with arm punches.Maybe the next time you make a stupid comment like that again you should do a little research on the subject.
*****
Another thought,you said Pryors defence was atrocious,thats because he had a great chin,I mean if arguello could land clean right hands on this guy & walk right threw them,then it showed that he wasn't worried about being hit,only wanted to get to his opponent & destroy.If arguello couldn't stop him,than floyd would have had no chance.
*****
you are comparing corrales with pryor,are you pulling my leg or what?Write me back when you have a serious comparison.
*****
I do,I also know that pryor had faster hands & was quicker on his feet than Corrales.When he started to get hit more by the hard punching arguello he started to move more & box,thats called diversity.There are 2 boxers of the 8 0s that I am positive that would have beaten floyd & they were Hearns & pryor.I think Leonard would have won a close decision over floyd but could have gone etheir way.The differnce between the 80s boxers & todays,is that the 80s boxers all fought each other & thats what made them great & why all have losses on their records.Floyds one big fight was delayed & delayed because he wanted manny to slow down & he got his way.Floyd might have you fooled not this boxing man.Everyone thought tyson was the greatest hw all time until he started to fight top quality opponents & then we found out in the end that he was a bum.
*****
It wouldn't even be a fight between a prime floyd & a prime hearns.Hearns was as big as ww get & would have simply been to big & strong for floyd to contend with,Hearns left hook was under rated he had power in that punch as well & he also had a great jab which can throw defence off.Pryor was 5'6.You can not win a fight on defence alone & pryors aggression would have put floyd in a defensive shell all night.
Pryor is wrong... He could beat Mwther in 5
He was certainly good enough. Fought better fighters than Mayweather ever did. Still Mayeather is a great and smart boxer
He did? Besides Arguello and Antonio Cervantes who exactly did he did he fight that was better than Pacquiao, Canelo, Oscar, Shane, Marquez, Cotto, Hatton, Corrales, Judah ETC?
@@jasonmoody4219 I feel that the average fighters were tougher generally. But you make a very good case. Not sure about Hatton though.
Basically I DO believe Pryor would have won. I think that the greatest fighters of all boxing history came in the 70's and 80's..........nobody is like that anymore. Seems the Golden age of Boxing as with many things..........are over !! My opinion !
not with blood and urine testing.
lol, I'm glad someone said it
or loaded gloves. I don't trust any fighter where Panama Lewis was the trainer. WHen somebody gets caught doing the egregious things Lewis was caught doing.....I doubt he got caught the first time he did something dirty. And given that Pryor didn't have a lot of HUGE fights where the scrutiny of the corner might be watched a little closer ho knows what Lewis got away with. And I like Pryor.....but that damn Panama Lewis trust that guy to tell the sun was shining on a sunny day
Amen, brother.
mayweather loves pointing out that he is undefeated , well so was Aron until he retired for 2 years. mayweather is from an era that drugs are very common place is boxing and mma
Rip. Aronn.
Aaron y Durán alguna vez juzgaron como sería una pelea como contrincantes? No tengo noticia de eso.
They dont make fighters like Pryor anymore. I saw that man take punches that wouldve felled a horse, and he just took them and smiled. Hard HARD motherfucker...with incredible stamina and chin. He wasnt a one punch KO artist but he would unload 8/10 punch combinations and just destroy your will and beat the fight out of you. What he did to Arguello was insane. The punches he took in that fight were inhuman. I thought his head came off from one of them and he just winked at Arguello and kept coming. One of my favorite fighters and I dont blame Leonard for ducking him, no question he was terrified of Leonard. He beat Hearns in the amatuers too. Little guy but an absolute nightmare of a fighter. I have no idea if Mayweather could handle that type of pressure. Aaron would have certainly walked through Floyd's punches. Mayweather would be on his boke the whole fight. Its a shame he never got the recognition he deserved. Rest well Hawk.
Hawk Time!!!!!!!
Pryor looked lot meaner with hair, especially his facial hair.
Well Hinckley, I am more than capable of expressing myself in writing without dropping a bunch of F bombs and N-words as was directed at me. Don't let a couple of typos fool you. I never said a word about anyone's spelling. I criticized the language.
Your point about Mayweather not having ever faced anyone as relentless as Pryor is false. I guess Maidana, Manny and Castillo weren't comparable? Pryor was reckless also which is why he was knocked down so many times. What fighter did he ever face have anywhere near the talent as Floyd? I'll wait.
Pryor would've beat Floyd definitely
Aaron was an accurate puncher and a 15 round fighter the latter rounds would have been interesting Floyd Jr would have slowed down and then the fight would have been a punchers battle.
As much as I would love to believe that is true, it just isn't. Aaron Pryor hadn't come close to meeting and beating anyone with Mayweather's speed, elusiveness, counter-punching, and defense.
Pryor beat Cervantes and Arguello knocking them both out. Floyd P4P is better than Aaron Pryor, but Floyd at his best is 130lbs. jr. lightweight; Pryor 140lbs. jr welterweight. The non stop Henry Armstrong style and the naturally 10 pound heavier Pryor would edge out Floyd over 15 rds. being stronger throwing more punches particularly in the championhip rds. 11 - 15, IMO. The best way to plan to beat Floyd is work on staying inside throwing alotof punches like castillo did when he fought floyd. That is Pryor's natural style of fighting. The naturally heavier Pryor edegs out Floyd being busier throwing more punche, IMO.
Arron Pryor the Hawk was a awesome fighter and I would have loved to see him fight Sugar Ray Leonard
You can't teach me anything about this sport dude. Followed this sport since age 8 (47). Fighter for 8 years. been an agent, Corner man, now Coach. So when Duran loses the fights are bulls*** or he had a bad night.What's your excuse for the Kirkland Laing fight? "Mayweather isn't better than anyone"? This isn't a serious comment.
And you're the only person I've ever heard dis Benitez. He beat Duran, Lost to Hearns but in your mind that doesn't count. Yes, you schooled me. man you're good..
Sorry. Not without that “Panama mix”
I am a Hawk fan, but he would fail the USADA test.
Give him the mix give him the mix lol
That would have been a great fight but 6 rd stoppage of floyd is something I can't cosign.
the hawk would have at floyd for lunch to much pressure and to many hard punches from every angel he would have broken his body and knocked him out pryor had unimaginable pressure and stamina
Money Mayweather fought a lot like Howard Davis Jr, and I personally saw him beat Pryor in Olympic trials in Cincy. Howard & Money were both great great, defensive fighters. Aaron was all relentless offense, he'll smother his opponent. I also Aaron beat a young Hit man Hearns before turning pro. GOAT, Jr Welter -middle Weight was 1. Sugar Ray Robinson 2. Ray Leonard 3. Marvelous Marvin Hagler 4.Hit Man Hearns 5. Money Mayweather 6. Aaron Pryor 7. Emauel Griffin 8. Dick tiger 9. Huricane Carter 10. Mugabe The Beast

Yeah Pryor was vicious. Mayweather Jr would've been running away like never before
TRUTH
Even if Pryor was fighting now he would never fight Mayweather cause his PED Test would come out positive.
Pryor was a great fighter but I don't think he would have beaten Mayweather.
Pryor best win was against Alexis who was really a featherweight and Cervantes who was in the twilight for his boxing career . But as much as I think Floyd is overrated he would've outbox Pryor , would've ran /get chased around the ring look bad but out point Aaron . Seen them both fight on TV multiple times and again just my opinion .
He's right. He would've chased Mayweather down with casual disregard and only winning on his mind. That was Pryor...that was his 'thing'. Nobody went at Mayweather like that.
Rip
Facts
I don't think Pryor would have beaten Arguello if his trainer Panama Lewis hadn't given him the 'special stuff' in the little bottle all during the fight. Arguello hit him so hard it spun his head around like the girl in The Exorcist movie and Pryor didn't even flinch. I don't know what it was, but it made him super human.
Not without the magic water
Knowing how Aaron Pryor used to fight I think the matchup is excellent and I also think he probably would’ve put Floyd Mayweather on his heels I’m not gonna say absolutely would’ve beat them but that flight probably would’ve either confirmed Floyd Mayweather was great we’re confirmed Aaron Pryor was better
I believe him.
Pryor would never KO Floyd, cause Floyd would duck him.
Hahaha i agree
PowerUpBoxing Cause you know Floyd's history.
Thats the same thing ppl said about Canelo and Cotto as well as Guerrero knocking him out, the results speaks for itself. you little kids should watch floyd's old fights then you will know the fighter he is, he didn't used to throw only 1 punch, guess ppl forgets so easily. sigh...
+hawkermustang Yh duck and slip then hit him with that STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND AND down goes pryor.
+hawkermustang really though that guy had NO DEFENSE.
As long as he had that dope in his bottle!
Sure would've
Everyone dodged Aaron Pryor. Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, and Duran all avoided him.
Maybe they knew what he drinks. 😅
Yeah and lance Armstrong too
6 rounds? Hawk was being kind!!!
Mayweather could not even land in the top ten fighter during the era of pryor. He is the reason why you should not watch boxing anymore, his mouth is more exciting than his fights
Exactly.
Thats because you dont appreciate greatness you hater. He's probably so boring that you cant help but watch all his fights
