peeps that say the second fight set the record straight are missing one fact.. once you get a beating like Alexis got from juiced up Pryor in the first fight you are a basketcase... once it's beaten out of you it's gone.. Kinda like Trinidad beating Vargas, Chavez beating Taylor, Hagler beating Mugabi... it's OVEr after that.. so second fight did not do shit to remove the stigma from the first one which is HIGHLY TAINTED

Pryor was drugged. Panama Lewis was suspended from boxing for many illegal activities.

SMH.... damn Cocaine must be a helluva drug!

@123bigr Hey, I'm not mad or anything. Relax... But if you're gonna sit there and say that there was absolutely nothing suspicious about "the one that I mixed," then you are just being ignorant, IN MY OPINION. Yes, Arguello was beaten even worse in the second go-around, but Pryor didn't need as many rounds, for one thing, and wasn't Panama Lewis already banned from being a cornerman by then? And I never called Pryor a cheat. In fact, I think he's one of the all-time greats. Can we agree on that?

[nomadineternity]

You got your facts wrong… The fight vs. Arguello was the first fight in Pryors career which went 14. He was flagging in the 10-13th rounds. In the 14th he comes out like gangbusters after chugging some fluid PL concocted and overwhelms Alexis. Where did Pryors huge burst of energy come from? Second fight went 10 and Alexis was a shell of himself, and no it wasn’t more intense than the first one.. Gatti got beat to a pulp by Manfredy and went downhill from than onwards as a contender

@chemochinga How do u know Pryor was drugged? What factual proof do you have?

[123bigr]

@nomadineternity people like u amaze me. Pryor went at a harder pace in the second fight, which required even more stamina. How did winning the first fight change Pryor's stamina? Pryor threw punches in bunches and Alexis was no push over in the second fight. Alexis dished out some punishment as well. The list of fighters u gave means nothing. I saw Gatti take worse beatings, but he managed to still compete, it depends on the fighter. Bowe v Holy is a perfect example. Go Pryor!

[123bigr]

@dannymadness1 There is a little thing called "proof" that you need before calling Pryor a cheater. First of all, you do not know that there was anything in the bottle and secondly, if there was, you assume that Pryor knew it. Those are two hurdles you seem to walk around and that is unfair to Pryor. Pryor had better stamina in the second fight, did he use another magic bottle? He still needed stamina to win that second fight, unless u think throwing all those punches is easy

[123bigr]

@smoothALOE Pryor's stamina was even better in the second fight, was he given the magic bottle then? Pryor smashed Alexis twice so get over it. U have no proof so stop trying to paint Pryor as a cheater, when he did nothing wrong.

@123shame on pryor for even letting lewis give him that and lewis is pure filth,however i admit pryor could have beat arguello no matter what because his chin speed and skills were amazing and thats why its a shame because aaron pryor could beat almost anyone and he didnt need any drugs or whatever it was, but he took them anyways,he may not have even known in his defense but its still fact,still an incredible fighter

[dannymadness1]

@123bigr pryor is an all time great thats for sure but there is simply no denying an illegal activity took place its on film for fricking sakes like the gyt said you dont mix water with water anything else was illegal and the commision didnt do a urine test afterwords because there idiots,the 2nd fight doesent prove much because arguello had a bad beating in the first fight and knew what would happen he was already damaged, pryor didnt need the mix bottle.

[dannymadness1]

@nomadineternity it is a shame because obviously no matter what was in the bottle it was illegal,and second leonard was right he didnt even need what was in the bottle to beat 9 out of 10 opponents, even if dishonest and a cheat cant deny his talent and skills,but what can i say panama lewis is a disgusting parasite, and shame on pryor for never admitting it,but still i have zero doubt that with or without the bottle he would have won, you are spot on about the rematch as well.
