[El Vikingo]

I will start to give a **** about overrated Americans like Ward and Mayweather when they stop fighting in their backyards.

Lol what a biased russian you are,USA is the place to fight ,the meca of boxing,not Siberia mastermind,after 36K posts I thought you knew that,i was overrating u i guess

Why isn't he fighting N'Jikam???????????????

WBO Top 10 Middleweights:

Bursak
Lee
Murray
N'Jikam
Proksa
Taylor
Godoy
Bejaran
Ishida
Macklin

It should be Lee, Murray, N'Jikam, Proksa, or Bursak. It'll probably be Bejaran or some s**t though, because Godoy has a fight planned already. Wouldn't mind seeing Pirog-Taylor on the undercard of a major fight in the US though.

Wow I def. thought that was another Taylor. I had to go to WBO website to see it say Jermain for myself.

They're lining him up for someone...Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham, all getting ready to be sacrificed

Pirog needs to fight in the states. He is not known outside of forums. If he keeps fighting over in his back yard then he is going to kill his career. At least Sergio is fighting in the states and trying to get his name out there.

Pirog is well-known in Russia.

The universe does not end at the US borders!

Some American boxers who can't draw flies to their fights in the US should go to other countries to fight.

N'Jikam has no other fights scheduled, so he should take the May 1 date.

But he's been inactive, I don't think he wants to fight anymore.

I'm guessing he's going to take a fight in April like originally planned exactly because he's been so inactive. He can't be waiting around for Pirog while staying idle. And I heard he's been inactive because of promotional problems.

Like it or not us Americans run boxing. Not the fighters but the money.
Punk-rog is a nobody. Why doesn't he want to fight Martinez in the states? Why hasn't he fought in the states after his win over Jacobs? Puss-rog is no one to be dictating terms. So quit frontinn!

Like it or not, to become a big boxing attraction, you have to fight in the US. Even the Klitschko's had fights in the US. They don't need to now because they can sell 40,000 tickets fighting Mormeck in Europe, and the HW division is not what it once was, no offense.

Floyd fighting in Vegas is not his backyard, sorry. Vegas is the capital of the world when it comes to big fights, it's just the truth.

There are a lot of pretty good Europena fighters in all classes. Some stay in Europe and dominate.....Senchenko is a great example. Some come to fight in the US and get exposed badly (watch what happens to Selcuk Aydin in July). Some come to the US and do great things (Klitschko's, Lewis, Khan, etc).

It's the same with all countries, uncluding US fighters. You have to fight in the US, almost everyone recognizes that.

Great post! Nuttin but the truth . Like it or not. And to add to the list of euros who fought here don't forget to add Ricky hatton, his bigest fights were in Vegas! Joe Calzaghe biggest fights in da garden NYC!

Yes, because Pirog - who owns a tiny sliver of the middleweight title - is on par with the guy who just won the Super Six tourney (Ward) and one of the best fighters in the past decade (Mayweather) who is a four-(or is it five) division champion. I understand your point Tunney, but this is a really bad comparison.
I like Pirog and hope he gets a fight with Martinez, Golovkin or one of the other belt holders, no matter where it's held. Proksa would be a great match too
