	The Battle of the Champions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pryor took on the attack to Arguello in the first four rounds, setting the stage for the rounds that followed, in which it was unclear which boxer would win.
		At the end of the round, at Pryor's corner, Panama Lewis (who was later convicted for removing padding from another one of his boxer's gloves in a fight and ultimately leading to the death of that boxer's rival) introduced a mysterious bottle which seemed to re-invigorate Pryor when he came back for round 13.
		When somebody noticed that the bottle had been brought from outside the ring into Pryor's corner in between rounds, a controversy broke out and lasted for months, after which the WBA issued an order for a rematch, which was fought September 15th, 1983.

	Boxing Scene Forums - Aaron Pryor vs Kosta Tsyu
		Pryor didn't knock anyone out cold.....so I doubt he'd start with someone as excellent and sturdy as Kostya Tszyu (Arguello a little too small and aged at 140).
		Pryor would have to fight Tszyu the same way he did Arguello....showing a bunch of different styles.
		Pryor is one of my all time favs, but there would be a 50%-chance for Kostya, who has more one punch KO power.

		Pryor did to himself outside the ring what none of his contemporaries could do to him inside the ring.
		One thing that has always aggravated me about boxers,is their ability to finish off their opposition.If Pryor got someone in trouble he was relentless.I have never seen a boxer better than him at finishing a fight.
		I think Aaron Pryor was one of the top five (5) all time fighters...He would run across the ring when the initial bell rang and often knocked an opponent out in the first minute...poor management and poor judgement on his part ended his career.
