Dimitry Pirog vs Gennady Golovkin?
Just watched Pirog absolutely wipeout Jacobs. Who do you think would have won this intriguing match up?

It's a shame we were robbed of that match....had to see GGG vs Proska instead. -
Would have been very interesting a few years ago... I still would favor ggg.. He seems special to meComment

Pirog would have had a great chance, what you need is enough pop to get GGG's respect or be bulldozed, good enough defense to not be mashed up, and unpredictable movement fast enough where GGG is unable to easily direct you where he wants you which is one thing he does great.Comment

Pirog is one of BoxingScene's overrated golden children. One win over a prospect and the nerds are ready to pit him in fantasy matchups until the end of time.Comment

Pirog is very good. He was good enough that Martinez put him on his list of guys never to fight. GGG is the best until someone can prove otherwise. Pirog is a dangerous fight for any middleweight. I pick GGG to win in his usual KO fashion but it would probably go more rounds than most GGG fights and he might lose some rounds to fast boxer-puncher Pirog.Comment

Big shame Pirog got sidelined with injuries. He had a hell of a right hand.Comment

What happened to him? I loved watching him fight but he busted a Houdini! Is he still active? Did he get "exposed"?Comment

A healthy Pirog is the only guy at 160lbs that I would think about picking to beat GGG...even then it's a maybe.
It's pretty funny that the only reason this fight was going to happen in 2012 is because Sturm was going to have to fight GGG.
Sturm got the bright idea to offer Geale a chance to unify so Geale pulled out of the Pirog fight.
Sturm really did not want it with GGG lolComment
