'Sergio Martinez-Manny Pacquiao is unfair,' says Dmitriy Pirog

People talking about fight night weight are starting to piss me off. You can't compare weighing in at 160 and walking in the ring at 170 to weighing 150 and walking in the ring at 170. Just like you can't compare Pacquiao weighing in at 144 and weighing 148 on fight night to Marquez weighing 135 and walking in the ring at 146 or 147.

maybe because pacs a *****. Let martinez lose a couple, you will see how fast team pac jumps the gun. Martinez offered to fight pac in his weightclass of 154 martinz already said that he is to big for pac. **** came from the horses mouth.

Cottos my fav fighter. But manny caught him on the decline. He was coming off a loss and squeaked a win past a bclass fighter. Paul was 3 p4p in amny eyes and pavlik was undefeated in his weight class, and racked some wins on his resume before sergio. Not to mention sergio was underdog for both fights, and manny was comfortable fav to beat miguel. Your point is not valid, just pactard statements the great paul williams who got his ass handed to him by quintana . or the the great pavlik who got schooled by grandpa hopkins. sergios run is so overated. pac would knock that dude out if they ever fought.

martinez should not duck pirog

If sergio and cheato are the same size, why can't segio come down to 150? He can't, because there not the same size. Pretty simple ****. As I said before, martinez should be looking one size up, not two and a half sizes down. Pad didn't belong anywhere near 150 and it showed. Asking the man to move to 154 and give up 30 pounds to segio is beyond stupid.

Because the best welterweights usually weigh in at 160 on fight night... Not fighting Martinez is hypocrisy (what's new?) from Arum. He outright said Martinez would weigh in over 170 and outweigh Pacquiao by over 20 pounds despite evidence and facts, since Martinez hasn't weighed above 168for any of his fight night weights. martinez weighed 170 fight night vs Dzinziruk........... Froch weighed 169 fight night vs AA........... You gonna take that, QUELOQUE?

pirog has to keep up the jive talk in order to get this fight and espn needs to replay his ko victory for the belt to hype it. its a better fight than the filler fights that have been mentioned. and a victory over pirog a young and slick fighter with a belt and ko power and speed easily makes sergio undeniably p4p #1 well atleast to boxing fans not blinded by ratial or national pride.

why should marquez do anythiong like that?this is why there are always problems with marquez and pac because they are always tryin to **** someone over.i'ts funny how pac fans feel like marquez the 1 man that manny has never decisively beat has to go jump through hoops to get a rematch,you would figure that the warrior manny is that he would want to fight marquez again but i guess not to prove whos the tougher challenge for pac now.....and no matter where jmm and pac fight, theyd be similar in weight at fight night anyways.....having the fight at 147 is just to show who the boss is, and that my friend is pacquiao....

maybe they shouldve made an eliminator fight between shane and marquez at 147 to see who gets pac...... why should marquez do anythiong like that?this is why there are always problems with marquez and pac because they are always tryin to **** someone over.i'ts funny how pac fans feel like marquez the 1 man that manny has never decisively beat has to go jump through hoops to get a rematch,you would figure that the warrior manny is that he would want to fight marquez again but i guess not

154 is fare? get ****ing real, pac cant even make 150 nor goes above that on fight night

So fighting Clottey and Margarito who weighs the same as Sergio on fight night is "a good fight" but fighting Martinez is unfair? Yeah its unfair. Why? Because Martinez is better. Hes not only too big. Hes better. for the same reason john ruiz was more fair to roy jones than lennox lewis. even though both are heavyweights.

pirog also said that manny should be fighting marquez yet he's not maybe they shouldve made an eliminator fight between shane and marquez at 147 to see who gets pac......

pirog also said that manny should be fighting marquez yet he's not

Russia's WBO middle king talks to Danny Flexen Boxing News http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/bn08/images/articles/1551783.jpg WBO middleweight champion Dmitriy Pirog has slammed WBC counterpart Sergio Martinez for considering a showdown with far smaller Filipino Manny Pacquiao and told the Argentine he should meet him in a unification clash instead. “It’s definitely not a really fair fight,” Pirog said regarding Martinez-Pacquiao. “Manny Pacquiao fought Antonio Margarito and it was a good fight but when one guy is a lot bigger, it’s not very professional. A great fight for Martinez would be against someone in his own weight category, like me. Boxing was not created for catchweight contests, Pacquiao can’t make middleweight ever. A better fight for him would be against Juan Manuel Marquez.” Pirog came to prominence for many in the western world when he upset touted Golden Boy prospect Danny Jacobs to win the vacant WBO crown in July. The man from Gelendzhik, who is building a gym in his hometown, highlights two key factors behind that fifth-round victory: his humble background and both the promoter and media neglecting him in the fight’s build-up. “I grew up with working class parents,” Pirog revealed. “My dad worked in a factory like most people at that time. My upbringing was definitely a factor – I was not starving or anything but I always wanted to be better off and that made me more determined. “The attention being on Jacobs didn’t really affect me except it made me a little angrier than normal and I wanted to prove myself. That I was also sure I have fought much better and more experienced opponents, that was a big advantage too.” Pirog controlled the fight in July before a big right hand ended Jacobs’ chances. Dmitriy admitted he did not expect his triumph to be quite so easy although his preparation had gone superbly. “The only thing that I was a little worried about was whether I would acclimate completely,” the 30-year-old explained. “But we planned everything as it should be; it was just another fight for me. There was no special nervousness. “I didn’t think it would be this easy. I thought Jacobs would run a lot and that would cause me problems. He did that a little bit but he did come forward too and I got more opportunities than I’d thought. That made it a better fight for the fans. “My finishing punch was not something special. If you look at the stats I have around the same amount of knockouts with my left as my right. That fight I happened to reach him with my right but it was not necessarily the hardest punch of my career.” Pirog is suddenly, if not hot property, then certainly warming up. He is looking only for big fights now, although the immedfiate target is building that gym. “Progress is good, but it’s not finished yet,” Pirog related. “I want the gym to be free to all kids, especially the kids with no ability to pay so I need investors and administrators to help with that. “As for the ring, I want the right fights, I want to continue to fight people who have reached my level. I don’t want to take just any fights. I’m not looking at financially interesting fights, more difficult opponents; I’m ready for anyone now.” Can't argue with any of that.. :boxing:

pirog knows nothing about boxing.

We understand everybody wants to fight Pac even the heavyweights if given the opporrunity with that kind of money. Just one fight alone against Pac. They can earn the money they may not earn in their entire career.

after the fight with Margarito, Pac said that few punches excually hurt him. I don't want Pac fight Martinez.. seriously, he prooved already who he is. Martinez vs Pirog, man up Sergio...

Sergio should just get it over with and start callin' Pirog "Daddy."

Pirog is 100% right. Martinez said he cant go up to 168 cuz his muscles are too small yet he wants Pacquiao to do it. Martinez is a b*tch and thats all there is to it. Pirog would beat him easy.
