Pryor was known as slugger but could box too all the asnwers so far are well thought out.

Pryor - W 39 (KO's 35) TF 40 - W pct 98% - KO pct 88% - wins over A. Cervantes and Arguello[2] - KO'ed by B. Young (Pryor was washed up) - #35 ranked fighter
Drugs probably hurt his career
He is not ranked in the 100 greatest punchers (quite strange)
Whitaker - W 40 (KO's 17) TF 46 - W pct 87% - KO pct 37% - wins over McGirt[2] Chavez and A.Nelson - KO'ed by Bojorquez ( while on drugs just like Pryor) - #10 ranked fighter
Some of his fights were boring because of his great defensive skills.
In a boring fight, Pryor takes a split decision.

Now this would be about the most entertaining fights you could imagine with Whitaker such a slick and clever boxer vs a hard non stop punching Pryor I believe that early on Whitaker would make Pryor miss a lot of punches and would win the early rounds. Then I believe that about round 6 Pryor starts catching up to the very fast Whitaker and lands some very hard punches. In about the 10th round Pryor catches Whitaker with a devastating punch and knocks him out in a great fight!

Aaron Pryor will caught him with a unusual and wonderful perspective punch and Pernell isn't the comparable after that. he gets up wobbly and Aaron will end him up with a barrage of punches against the rope.

Pryor would certainly press Whitaker the whole fight, but "Sweet Pea" would probably pull off a close decision. I'm thinking it would go somewhat like Chavez-Whitaker since Chavez was pressing him through that fight also. The main difference is that Pryor has a bit more power--just not enough to get the win.

Damn, the Hawk versus Sweet P...I'll have to go with Aaron, before the drug usage kicked in. I still think back about the power he had against Alexis Arguello (sp?). Pryor by decision

Aaron Pryor would be too strong and he could catch up to Pernell

Aaron Pryor. He didn't get the respect that he deserved until fighting Arguello. He his swarming attack would be too much for Pernell.
