Comments Thread For: Dmitry Pirog Says He Will Soon Resume His Career

[Boskop]

Like Manny vs Floyd, Pirog-GGG is way overdue... It used to be the "who is the baddest talent in MW" kind of fight, but then GGG moved on and made a helluva name for himself.
Hope Pirog will do allright in his return and that his management don't pick a killer for him in his return. Andy Lee, Macklin or Guerrero would be good measuring sticks I guess

Pirog needs a tune up. Then any belt holder.

The middleweight division is stacked, so many fights that could be made. It's about time they started making them.

Any combination of these would be interesting:
Martinez (RING/WBC)
Golovkin (WBA)
Quillin (WBO)
Chavez Jr
Pirog
Geale v. Barker winner (WBA)

British/Irish scene:
Barker (possible IBF titleholder)
Murray (Interim WBA)
Macklin
Andy Lee

MSG undercard anybody?
Seems reasonable. Fight in November, tune up in December, Pirog in 2014

Happy to hear a sign of life! Pirog is just so beautifully to watch. Love his skill level, although some say he lacks the power. For me this is just the sweet science.

A tune up fight in the US on ESPN and afterwards a fight against Quillin would be fair enough, since the WBO has treated Pirog rather as a stepchild. As a former champion of their organization, they should'nt hesitate to offer him a chance against Kid Chocolate. Quillin should also be happy not to have to fight against Martinez or Golovkin.

Naw, I want a tune up and then GG. Pirog has a score to settle with the "overrated one"!

Pirog's best win is a guy GGG stretchered in 3 rounds.

For a while he was the most overrated fighter in boxing, had people claiming Sergio was ducking him the guy had 19 fight and only one win which was somewhat notable.

Let me guess - Quillin is the truth..

I thought it was Jacobs who was his best win

Another threads of how everybody is ducking him would follow soon from all of these plebs...
