If anyone on fight beat is overrated it's definitely Pryor. I loved him too. But some of you guys talk about him like he's invincible.
Yeah that is true. He gets talked about like he's invincible, even though his best win is over a super featherweight. He can obviously fight, and is tough, strong, aggressive etc - but I've always thought he looks plenty beatable. I just rewatched Pryor - Arguello 1, and the first thing that struck me is he's not as fast as I remember. Speed pretty average for a 140 pounder. I remember him being more fast and furious. Pacquiao is much, much faster, it's not even close. He's also fairly wild and open, often leaves his chin up in the air. Some of his shots are quite telegraphed and scrubby too, especially hooks and uppercuts. Watching that fight enforces my belief Pacquiao would do a number on him, and the idea of him beating any of the Fab 4 is preposterous.
