140 lb limit 15 rounds in their prime. I think this would have been a great fight!

Write about battle. The one thing that would truly happen without a doubt would be, neither of these fighters would be the same after this bout. There would be such savagery and brutality that this fight would surpass any fight viewed by fight fans.
This fight could be fought on a dime and you'd still have plenty of room. Duran would land and Pryor would just come ripping back with shots of his own.
The biggest difference in this fight would be Duran's overall better body attack, legal and illegal blows. Pryor really didn't like going the body that much, he liked the roar of the crowd when he landed one of his thunderous head shots, but Duran always stayed downstairs and in the long run would slow Pryor down just enough to land the bigger shots.
No knockout here just 15 rounds of the best fight any fight fan could wish for. Thanks for the question BD/TG.

you know this is every boxing fans dream great match up Pryor would win the fight but the judges would give the fight to Duran and ruin the best fight the world has ever seen.Nether fighter would give and inch even though both fighters throw a lot of punches both are great boxers Sugar Ray Leonard would not fight Aaron Pryor but he fought Duran and Ray is a very smart man he saw something in Aaron Pryor that he did not want anything to do with and it would have been a mega million dollar fight that is the only reason I pick Pryor over Duran

Dude, this would have been one hell of a match up! Pryor and Duran would attack each other with nonstop aggression and punching. Man, the action in this fight would hardly let up and there would be so many brutal exchanges. I think the man who could force the other one to back up more would win this fight. Both dudes had brick-like chins so a KO for either fighter is unlikely, but both their faces after the fight would have told the story of this war. I gotta go with my main dude Pryor by a split decision in an all out war of nonstop action. Great fight and it's a shame that we never got to see this match up. Dude, i wish i could turn back time for this one!

I think it would be along the lines of the 2 Aaron Pryor/Alexis Arguello fights. Just 2 guys standing toe to toe puching the crap out of each other. I think Pryor had a better chin than Duran so I would say Pryor by TKO in the 11th.

In a drug/stimulants free bout, Duran shreds Pryor. If uppers are allowed into the fray, Pryor by late KO. There was a reason why SUGAR Ray wanted nothing to do with Pryor. Pryor got himself a hit of cociane between rounds.

Bluedevil I'll give you the same answer as before when you asked this one. Duran gets off the canvas in the early to mid rounds of the fight and rallies to take a split decision win. Fans scream for a rematch. I really believe this might be the best match up ever, and I'm pissed off that I never thought of it! LOL Peace buddy!

Duran would out box Pryor. Much more experience and would land more shots. Duran by decision

not so sure, Pryor would be good at 140 but I believe Duran was at his best at about 124....but probably a good matchup, slugging the whole fight...

Duran would annihilate Pryor in this match.

the 1st 2 i don't comprehend adequate appropriate to the previous timer to respond to. i might %. Hopkins over Fitzsimmons. The Jones-Marciano journey up is desirable. there is not any question Jones may well be waiting to outbox the Rock and make him look undesirable for an stunning style of the combat. yet he additionally does not have a prayer of knocking him out, and whilst Marciano ultimately related, it would be lights out, a l. a. Joe Walcott. the component on that one is--might you be doing the combat at 12 or the previous time 15 rounds. undergo in strategies, if the Marciano-Walcott combat were fought below the present 12 around rule, Walcott might have won. yet even however Jones in his best became a extra useful fighter than Walcott, he became not especially much as good as quickly as he have been given up in age, and 185 became an exceedingly huge weight for him to combat at in his best. i might ultimately take Marciano, yet not experience fairly confident approximately my wager. Klitschko is a huge, present day heavy weight, the likes of which failed to exist in Sullivan's era. I could think of he might crush him.
