BQ : Yeah, Leonard hate this type of cheater and doesn't want to risk his health fighting a steroid abuser.
To this day, that drink is still a mystery. What was apparent watching that fight vs. Arguello was that it seemed to revive and resuscitate Pryor every time Arguello was able to nail him with those killer rights of his in the previous round/s. Other top lightweights and even welterweights would have crumbled from just one of those Arguello rights!
He had to take something because he fought like a mad man for 15 rounds.
BQ: Leonard ducked Aaron pryor like the plague because he would have been ko'd in dramatic fashion. Me and Fishnet call it disinterest.
You are only allowed water at ringside, but Panama Lewis is clearly heard saying "pass me that bottle, no the black one I mixed". Pryor proceeds to come out like it's round 1 and whoop Arguello's ***. But you know what they say, you can do what you can get away with. B-Hop is the master of it.
What Lester said
BQ. Leonard never fought Pryor. Fact! But clearly it wasnt fear. It was disinterest.
It was pretty obvious he took something.
His corner man was later banned for life from boxing.
We know he took some water from the special bottle.
We just don't know what.
I don't think this had anything to do with Leonard.
so what? Pacquiao has been on steriods non-stop for 10 years. even roach admitted that ariza was juicing him up. As soon as he stopped taking roids, he got KTFO by Maruqez.
Even Sugar Ray Leonard was shocked at the power and stamina and pace Pryor continued to fight up to the 15th round and win by TKO. Although long after the fight Leonard tried to say that Pryor didn't need the mystery water bottle to beat Arguello. I'm pretty sure that asthma pills are steroids, but a different way to take it in steroids for quick immediate results when the lungs to reopens and reenergizes an exausted fighter.
BQ Do you think this is the reason Leonard never wanted to fight Pryor?
