if Arguello wins ,. and takes the rematch, Pryor loses his ATG status, and simply gets remembered as a really good fighter in a so-so division during a golden era of boxing
style wise, he is similar to Ricky Hatton, and had he lost to Arguello, he would probably remebered the same way as a post-Mayweather Hatton
Career ending fight vs Pryor n his drink.
One of the most brutal weekends in boxing history! Drink or no drink Pryor took everything Arguello had to give. Then in the late rounds gave Arguello a very nasty beat down.This fight was on a Friday night. The next day on Saturday Mancini killed Kim.Very brutal weekend in boxing history.
If he had won people would not have thought much about Pryor.
you gotta admit, if it werent for that "drink" that Pryor took his head wouldve been decapitated
Arguello landed some of the hardest shots ive seen in my life in that match and that right hand is just as devastating as Hearns
But lets say he did win, what would have become of his legacy? Pryor might've asked for a rematch, but I firmly believe Arguello wouldve rejected it. Would Arguello maybe go up and fight Duran and Leonard? Maybe even Hearns at 147? What about Benitez?
