It again sadness me to announce the passing of another boxing immortal, and a friend, Aaron "The Hawk" Prior....anyone who watched boxing in the 1980's will never forget the champ as one of the most exciting fighters of all time, voted the greatest Jr. Welterweight of all time...who will forever be remembered for his wins over the great Alexis Arguello...
in a career cut short due to drug addiction, Pryor managed to not only gain the respect of the boxing historians, but after his career, regained his own self respect and that of many others by not only beating his addiction, but then spending the rest of his life as an anti drug activist...
Over the years, I was lucky enough to get to know the champ, and will always admire all he did, in and out of the ring.....and personally, for as long as I live, whenever anyone asks me "What time is it"....my first thought will be "It's Hawk Time!!!"
Peace be with you my friend
