either way, I believe Alexis goes down in history as the greater, more accomplished fighter, he was just a tad too old and a tad too slow and and small. Reverse the situation and Pryor wouldn't have finished the fight himself. A guy who suffered flash knockdowns all the time? I still really don't know how he took Alexis' big shots, probably the hardest he was ever hit even if it was by a guy who originally was a 126 pounder. Alexis starched bigger men like Rooney and afterwards, Billy costello, his power was still there. Pryor was so amped up maybe that's why, of course some people insist the bottle helped him but I don't think there's a drug in the world that'll help you take a punch.
