    Who wins?

    I've had a drastic change of heart on this matchup over the years.

    Had you asked me 15 years ago, I would have said Pryor all the way.

    Now? I think Shane would have fucked Pryor up, tbh.

    Pryor comfortably out-works him IMO.

    I dont see Pryor as unbeatable as I did 15 years ago.

    I think he's too easy to find, and Shane has too much firepower.

    I also think Aaron is screwed because a big part of his game was physically pushing guys around, and Shane is a lot stronger.

    Just a bad style for The Hawk.

    Mosley was certainly special below 147. I'd pay big to watch this one.

    Great matchup that I hadn't really thought of before. I like X's logic. Mosley didn't have problems with fighters who were right there or that were not naturally bigger than him and Pryor would be in his face from the start and smaller than him too.

    It comes down to strength and Mosley having a good enough chin (which he did) to weather the early onslaught and Pryor not being elusive enough or big enough to cause Shane enough problems.
