    Duran is the only fighter from 135-140 in history who I'd pick over Pryor. Aaron would certainly have his moments, but Duran's slick defense and skills AND power would out-do Aaron. Plus, Pryor never faced anyone as QUICK as Duran. Whereas Duran coped with Leonard's handspeed once, Pryor's speed would be nothing big to him. Its a war throughout I just think Duran scores with the cleaner blows and probably puts Pryor on his ass several times. Duran by UD.

    Duran tries his clinching and butting tactics but Pryor's endless combinations and power make them futile. Pryoy beats him up ad probably stops him late
