Why is Pirog being shunned?

[BoxingTech718]

Needs to stay busy, if you fight enough they can't avoid you. Pirog needs to come over to vegas and start KTFO of more boxers to sustain momentum. Plenty of MW boxers with no fights lined up for the new year. He needs to put a foot in his teams rear to get him a big fight.

HBO don't seem to want to go near him, also Dan "I go to the media buffet 5 times "Rafael has Matthew Macklin above him in his rankings. Why is this beast being marginalized?

Exactly, fight a real top MW before I believe the hype. Plenty of top guys available until then his nutthuggers need to hush up or call for him to fight tougher competition.

Pirog fought 3 times in 2010, and this year has just started. I am sure we will see him on HBO 1 or 2 times this year.

To answer the TS's question though: Pirog is being shunned because HBO worries too much about the popularity of boxers and too little about great fights.

I rate fighters on how they perform, how they look performing, and how they handle their opposition.

Pirog is a crisp puncher with phenomenal footwork and good head movement.

People want to glorify any win when talking about their favorite fighter, but when it doesn't fit their agenda they go against it. Pirog's KO over Daniel Jacobs, to me, is as impressive as Cotto's win over Foreman, Manny over Clottey and Margs, etc...

He looks great in the ring and that is why I like him.
