Excellent presentation of Aaron's life and career. I interviewed Aaron Pryor in 2004. He was having some trouble with nerve damage in his neck at the time, but he was friendly, engaging, lucid, and seemingly at peace. He was studying to become a deacon at a local church at the time. He was a lot of fun to be around on that day. We watched some tapes of a few fights after the interview was completed. What really stood out in the interview was his memory. I was actually nervous about interviewing him because he had been diagnosed with pugilistic dementia several years earlier. He remembered everything, and his speech was clear. It was an honor to interview him. Very good natured, generous with his time, and deep down, despite the trials and tribulations of his life, he was a decent human being who meant well. RIP.

I grew up in Cincinnati and idealized arron, but to see him years later bumming money asking how about a few bucks for the champ. He looked strung out , eyes running, nose running. We each gave him a 20 at the corner of 15th and Elm. It broke my heart to see him like that God bless the man.

To summarize, don’t do drugs. This guy beat Alexis Arguello twice. If he could’ve surrounded himself with positive people, we might be talking about one of the greatest P for P’s. Just sad.

And he showed zero sportsmanship he had no respect for the sport or other fighters. He stole that fight with Arguello who hit him with punches that put any other opponent out.

There were so many exciting fighters at that time, but not many were guaranteed to thrill like Aaron Pryor. The best was when Pryor was knocked down by Dujuan Johnson and the ref turned back to Pryor after motioning Johnson to a neutral corner only to find Pryor gone....he'd gotten up and ran toward Johnson saying "you can't hurt me, I'm too tough", incredible. Too bad he couldn't beat his addictions, there may have been a few more crazy fights to be seen. Sad way to end a great career.
