    3 more match-ups I wish we got to see
    - - Manny made the 3 Amigos famous, but in fact only Barrera and Morales were game to fight each other besides Manny.

    Marquez ducked both repeatedly, finally fighting a past it Barrera who walked him into a right hand that dropped him for the count but for Fat Nady freezing and not administering a count, nor removing Barrera to the neutral corner.

    After a long delay with Marquez on his knees, Barrera finally stretched him that resulted in a foul that offset the FAIL officiating.

Literally not a chance in hell. Its the 80s and he got away with it easily. Pryor was coked out like nobody else as we know. This gave him endless stamina and immunity to pain. On top of these he would mix crushed asthma pills which act as a steroid to open up your airways and lungs. I figured you know all this by the sounds of it, posting it for others.
      - - Other than Pryor regrettably becoming a street coke fiend, you are so wrong on everything else that it's embarrassing to think you a growed man with boxing experience.

      The only controversy in this the greatest fight ever fought is Panama Lewis asking for the bottle he mixed between rounds that morphed into the Black Bottle. Nothing was ever proven, and if anything Arguello had better access to pure local ******* compared to adulterated street ******* Pryor used recreationally.

      Asthma pills ain't steroids anymore than Aspirin is Heroin. Most all asthmatics use over the counter inhalers that VADA bans that calls into question the legitimacy of drug testing when VADA and the like are banning over the counter legal drugs like cold medicines and inhalers while not banning BALCO Vics special vitimans.

      Boxing in the toilet because they have the dumberest of the dumberest fans of any sport who accept this baloney.

        Na you're giving too easy an out for Lewis.

        He asked for "the one I mixed" after refusing a perfectly good bottle of water.

        You're right that proves nothing, except when dealing with a guy who would go on to remove padding from gloves an ruin two mens' lives.

        Suddenly with that history, the guy's remark "No, the one I mixed" seems to matter.

          This would have been before he fought Alexis?

            Lmao......you belive Wlad was drugged with no proof whatsoever, but think Pryor was clean even though Lewis asked for the bottle he mixed. Top that with Pryor's history of drug abuse and you couldn't be any more obtuse.

              Gotta go with Leonard.

              Bigger, stronger, faster, & a better pedigree.

              Leonard "ducking" Pryor was probably a little bit of publicity to sell Pryor

                Arguello (I) landed too many clean right hands on Pryor. Pryor took them OK from a former LW.

                I doubt he stands up to the same clean right hands from he bigger Leonard.

                Leonard by TKO inside of 9 rounds.

                  I remember someone posted sparring footage of Pryor with someone of note. I don't think he was sparring SSR, but it was another future HOFer

                    - - Plenty of proof, just that you always drink it up before stinking it up, too drunk to know which way is up or why your thick noggin been drooling between your legs.

                    Fighters been taking stimulants from the beginning of time. What was in the Fancy White French bottles Bundini carries to the Ali corner for the Foreman fight where first round George Plimpton ringside screams out Foreman is drugged?

                    Could be both Alexis and Aaron was drugged, but no matter they fought a HUGE toe to toe, ebb and flow fight where the matter was settled concussively. Really, you better served commenting on the Olympic PickleBall team, not boxing.

                      I don't know if Foreman was drugged or not, there is no proof he was though. I don't know for a fact Pryor used ******* or any other kind of stimulant against Arguello. But given both his and Panama Lewis history I would say it's certainly probable, especially given the Lewis refused one water bottle for the one he "mixed". We also have Resto saying what Lewis Did and that Pryor knew. Does that hold weight.....probably not. But a lot of little things add up after awhile. Do we know Wlad wasn't drugged? We certainly do because the toxicology report proves it. It's easily found if you want to see it.
