Wow, I did not know they fought. Them boys was throwin'.

We used to call Aaron Pryor "brick-head", and of course Tommy was the hometown fave. I remember them trying to set up a fight towards the end of their professional careers, don't think it was pulled off.

For some reasons, Youtube vids never work for me on this board. But I went to the site and checked it out. Imagine if they had ever met professionally, that would've been a classic matchup

I was rooting for Tommy but "The Hawk" was just too much for him.

Fucking ball of destructive hyperactive energy.

Before the drugs Pryor was a beast. I remember his fight with Alexis Arguello....classic!

Rumor is that Sugar Ray Leonard avoided Pryor....they say Leonard wanted no parts of him.​
