What's up with the Pirog love?

[RapidFire26]

Look I think Pirog deserved a shot at Martinez before Barker, but so did a number of a MWs.

IMHO, Pirog has not shown he is better than other top contenders like Geale, Lee, Golovkin, Proksa, N'Jikam, Macklin, and Quillin.

If Martinez fights someone like Macklin then I wouldn't really see that as a duck of a quality opponent given his performance against Sturm.

Well the thing is that Macklin gave a great fight against Sturm and IMO he won.

All us Pirog fans are saying is give him a shot is all. Barker, Macklin, these guys get a shot but not Pirog? C'mon

Pirog is a straight beast after his dominating when over Jacobs...........by the way, where did Jacobs go after that? He vanished because he wasn't going to the top anyways. Where did Pirog go his career best win? Back home to hide to protect his gifted title.

He is hiding yet calling out the p4p best fighters? He moved up in weight to fight bigger guys because he is a duck?

Macklin's performance against Sturm has to be more respected than Pirog's against Jacobs.

Also, why doesn't Pirog bolster his claims by fighting guys like Geale, Golovkin, Proksa, etc.?

He is fighting Geale next, hopefully on Showtime.

You also have to realize Pirog tried to get big fights on HBO and Showtime after Jacobs but couldn't land anything, thus why he's fought in Russia, it's not his fault.

He has not done much of anything to garner the rating he gets on this forum, all he did was beat another untested prospect like himself and 18 Russian turnip farmers.
