    Who wins? Gotta go with Pacquiao. Just think that Pryor's defensive lapses would get him hurt here. And I don'the think his brand of offense would be particularly effective against Pacquiao. Pryoy's best bet in this fight would be to box behind the jab and he'said not winning the fight that way. Pacquiao by KO.

    Gotta with the Hawk. He'd find the openings and capitalize on them. He might be down on the cards. But he'd stop Pac late in a classic.

    Pacquiao would eventually get him out of there. Pryor ate too much leather, a mistake vs Pac.

    Epic Fight that COULD Go Either Way, Contingent Upon Pacquiao's INFIGHTING Ability...Manny Typically Needed More DISTANCE than Pryor, to Generate Power...


    Pryor WOULD Get Up Close and Personal w/Pac...He was Naturally BIGGER & STRONGER than Pac...The Question is, Could Manny EVADE Pryor, in Terms of Head/Foot Movement, to CREATE the Requisite Spacing to DROP/LAND Bombs???...He Did JUST That when Faced w/Ricky Hatton's Aggression....

    Ultimately, REED Favors the Guy that IMPOSES His Will to the Higher Degree & He Thinks that Guy is Aaron Pryor...

    Pryor's foot speed was excellent. He was great at cutting off the ring, so I don't think it would be quite so easy for Manny to outmaneuver him the way he was able to do with the likes of Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, etc.

    I think Pryor is too fast and too strong. It would be a war and Manny might even be up on the cards, but Pryor would absolutely wear him down and give him a bad beating in the process.
