    Sergio Martinez vs Dmitry Pirog (two of the best KO's of the year in a unification)

    to me it doesn't get any better than that.

    How would this fight play out? This one is a head scratcher for me, I have no idea how each would handle the other. This fight should be made asap, imo.

    Hard to tell. Martinez deserves a big money fight and Pirog isn't one, unless HBO steps up and puts real good money on the table. Martinez could fight the winner of Cotto-Junior or Berto at 154 and make more money.

      cotto-junior, that's a long ass time from now and I doubt berto would fight martinez at 154. Bute doesn't seem like it's an option either. I really don't think martinez has as many immediate options as people may realize.

        I think HBO has found in Martinez what they were trying to make out of Berto. Maybe now they will put more money on him. I could see him fighting Pirog if they offer him a career high payday which should be just above 1 mill.

          Would love this fight, I guess they can repackage Margarito and give him to Martinez to try and do a comparison with Pac. Marg is known to the casual fan and they have history.

            Yeah but rito needs to rest and he would make more money fighting Cotto again.

                Maravilla is way too much for Pirog to handle at this point. But it would be a fun fight while it lasts.

                    styles make fights.

                    2 slick boxers might be a boring ass fight.
