Comments Thread For: Pirog Waits for the Champs, Considers Possible Retirement

This. He should try and get a match with Andy Lee then, who seems to not have an opponent atm. Other potential opponents could be Golovkin (who has a WBA and IBO title) and Kid Chocolate. Pirog just needs to defend his title against quality opposition.

He did. Andy doesn't want to fight him, coz he is too dangerous.

He just needs to be patient. He doesn't need to retire. That's just ******.

I like Pirog, but lets be honest he's beaten one over-hyped prospects and that's it. Macklin deserves the shot at Martinez more. Macklin dominated Sturm. It was an embarrassment.

Looking to unify is admirable and all, but how about fighting a few top 10-15 guy first at least? Kind of ridiculous to want to retire with only 19 fights. With that belt, he has more leverage that most guys could would dream of. It's one thing if you're some dude struggling to make ends meat and needs to retire to feed his family, but Pirog is making a ton money. He has all the time in the world. All he has to do is wait. Something will come up.

This guy is the new Sturm,refuses to fight outside of home and then crys everyone is ducking me,i am tired of his act and think of him as a protected bum now,i could care less if he retires,who does he think he is anyway Danny Jacobs was a Fraud big whoop you beat a fraud want a cookie.

And Andy has earned his stripes dude takes tough fight after tough fight,if Pirog took those same fights he wouldnt be in the discussion now.

what? Pirog has tried to fight in america over and over again only to be rejected, so he's fought in Russia.

but with Hershman now at HBO I think he'll get another shot real soon.

[immortal tech]

this dude is so overhyped he beat ONE prospect for a vacant belt and since been defending it in Russia now he is acting like his being avoided

[terror_tim]

Some of you guys are off your rocker. He is trying to fight everyone but no one will. He is willing to fight out of Russia if the money is there just like everyone else. Can't make these guys fight you. Sergio won't fight him and he will come to the US for it. Sturm won't fight him.

Its just frustration. He will fight on. He can't make the same kind of money doing anything else.
