Dmitry Pirog

Go voice your opinion in my Pirog vs. Martinez thread in the Boxing History section. Thank you!

Lemiuex vs Pirog would be an interesting fight if it ever happened. Pirog would handle the Barkers,Macklins and co. but a young GGG would be a 50/50 fight. I'd pick Pirog over Eubanks and BJS but a prime Martinez would be a handful for anyone. I'm talking about the Martinez that starched Williams. yeah but too bad martinez didnt want to fight pirog after pirogs explosive ko over jacobs. he wanted that easy pad your bank account money that floyd talks about. enter dzinziruk, barker, etc...

He had skills to be in p4p but you don't get any fans having that kind of look, no matter how good you are, he had outstanding defense too

Champ. He was damn good. Slick, powerful, aggressive. I think he'd lead the pack and he and Gennady might have to throw down a few times.

We could have found out how good he really was had the GGG fight materialized.

Pirog would've likely had a run like Vitali Klitschko He would've held onto the WBO belt for as long as he wanted, and he'd be an utter handful for every middleweight fighter plying their craft at the time. The dude was basically the classic top Euro amateur, who seemingly left home and spent his entire pro career, bounce through the gyms of Philly and Detroit, picking up all of the trips and traps as he traveled

Well we would have known if he was better than GGG because they were gonna fight before he retired with the injury. This - it's too bad what happened, we were about to find out

Looking at his record. Have only seen the Jacobs fight. I guess it depends on how much you buy into Jacobs, looking at this record he seems like the best name on Pirog's record. I think Danny is pretty good, especially after the Quillin fight.

the p4p champ.....would of moved up and took down ward........

Probably still WBO champ

Now that Jacobs is back in the limelight, I was wondering, Where do you think Pirog would be today if his career hadn't been cut short? Top on the Middleweight! his skills do not have any middleweight fighter today.
