In their primes who would win and why? Hector Camacho Vs. Aaron Pryor.

I would have to say Aaron Pryor in about eight rounds. I think he would stalk, cut off the ring, and use constant pressure. Plus with Hector Camacho suspect chin it's unlikely he could handle going toe to toe with Pryor, if the fight became an all out brawl.
Now in Hector Camacho defense his hand speed and footwork could win him the bout on points. By making Aaron Pryor wear down from chasing him around the ring.While using his jab and combinations to counter Pryor's power.

Good question! I would have loved to have seen this fight. In my opinion Pryor would have hit too hard and been too strong and determined for Camacho to handle. Camacho was very fast and nimble but would not have been able to keep Pryor off of him who threw punches from any angle. I also don't believe that Camacho could have hurt Pryor. In a very entertaining and fast paced bout I believe that Pryor catches up with the quick and elusive Camacho in round 10 and sends him crashing to the canvas. Camacho gets up on wobbly legs and the referee halts the fight and raises Pryor's hand in victory.

Willie Survive? That is the question for Camacho. If Camacho lasts until the end of the fight he would probably get the decision. I am not going too far out on a limb to say that Camacho would probably beat Pryor. Camacho has a good chin and could move. Camacho by decision.

I think the "Hawk" would have run Hector down and eventually either nailed him or won the decision. Hector was successful in spite of himself and he would have been backing up all night against the pressure of Aaron Pryor. You don't win fights backing up, and Hector didn't have the power to keep Pryor off him. Pryor would have gladly traded punches with anybody, Hector was gun shy after the Rosario fight.
All Aaron Pryor.

Aaron Pryor, the man that many boxing historians will forever say Ray Leonard spent both his amateur and Professional career avoiding would walk through a young in his prime Hector Camacho in less than 7 rounds.
People don't remember but Hector in his prime would stand there and go shot for shot using his excellent head and shoulder movement to avoid big shots. It was Hectors fight against Edwin "Chapo" Rosario that forever changed the way he fought. Rosario busted up and hurt a young Camacho several times in their encounter and made Hector realize he did not like getting hit so he grew wheels.
Aaron Pryor would be able to cut the ring off on the elusive Camacho and pound him unmercifully. Hector would not have the power to keep Aaron off of him and Aaron would just simply walk Camacho down. Aaron ate everything a in his prime Alexis Arguello threw at him and still kept coming and Hector didn't hit nearly as hard as Alexis did.
Lopsided beating for Camacho very similar to the way Julio Cesar Chavez beat him in Vegas but this fight would end in a late in the 6th round knockout.
Thanks for the question Willie.

Pryor seemed to lose alot of credibility after his loss to Bobby joe young. It was a fight he certainly wasent expected to lose and he was getting towards the end of his carrer and was no longer in his prime. In his prime he would have destroyed Bobby joe Young and i think beaten Camacho also, most probably on points rather than a knockout.

NOW THIS IS A GREAT MATCH UP, YOU HAVE ONE THE BEST BOXERS AT THAT ER AGAINST ONE OF THE MOST FEARED FIGHTERS OF ALL TIME. CAMACHO WAS A GREAT BOXER BUT HE DIDN'T REALLY PACK A NICE PUNCH MORE FLASH THAN POWER. NOW PRYOR YOU HAVE A GUY WITH A WIERD STYLE WHO HAD POWER, SPEED, STAMINA, AND SOME NICE BOXING SKILLS WHO NONE OF THE TOP GUYS WANTED A PIECE OF. EVEN DURAN SKIPPED RIGHT OVER PRYOR TO FIGHT LEONARD, BOOM MANCINI, CAMACHO, HOWARD DAVIS ALL THE TOP GUYS OUT AT THE TIME NEVER EVEN TRIED TO GO AGAINST THE HAWK EVEN THE GREAT LIVINGSTON BRAMBLE JUMP PASS PRYOR AND THE ONLY GUY WHO HAD THE HEART WAS ALEXIS AQUELLIO AND HE LOST TWICE TO PRYOR. NOW TO RAP IT ALL UP EVEN THE GREATEST AT THAT TIME WOULDN'T TAKE A FIGHT WITH AARON PRYOR AND HE FOUGHT THE BEST. I HAVE TO TAKE PRYOR BY KNOCK OUT IN THE..........6TH RD.AFTER ALL THE PRESSURE I THINK HE WOULD WEAR CAMACHO DOWN AND TAG HIM A COUPLE GOOD TIMES AND IT'LL BE OVER........
