Aaron Pryor, you're gone too soon. You were an awesome fighter. Continue your rest in peace with our Father in Heaven

best boxer ever of all time yes Aaron Pryor not just best but greatest in his weigh Class.

I had no idea Aaron passed away. I was just watching his fight on YouTube. He was an awesome boxer. I am so sorry to know of his passing. I admired him and his tenacity in the ring. He was born 2 years after me. Rest in peace with our Father in Heaven Aaron Pryor

I knew Aaron Pryor and remember when we were young his 1st child with a close friend of mine, Debbie Harris. It´s been so long ago but my condolences and would love to know about my old friend Debbie Harris.

He was in a class of his own in top of his game [ R.I.P]

The most underrated athlete in any sport during the last 40 years. The top lightweights and welterweights weren't much interested in facing him.

Rest up champ pleasure to know and train you

Its. howard beatty paying respect to the greatest pound for pound fighter ever

I only attended 1 professional fight and that was when Aaron Pryor beat Antonio Cervantes in Cincinnati for the Title. There was never a boxer could throw as many punches in a round. He was so relentless. He actually scared Alexis Arguello. He overcame a lot of things and it appears he found peace with the Lord. May his memory be a great blessing to his loved ones and countless others.
