Dmitry Pirog is a much better boxer than GolovkinJA

[New England]

Jacobs was legit confused when he was fighting him. That shifting was driving him insane. The shift just before the knockout was beautiful.

Golovkin relies way too much on his natural attributes, which are his great chin and power. He also has very subtle feints, and solid fundamentals, but he just isn't as skilled as Pirog was. Hence why Pirog was able to knock Jacobs cold with much less power.

jacobs has learned a lot since htat fight, but i do think that pirog had skills and that golovkin is too dependent on his chin.

golovkin also has a good jab, but you know it's coming. pirog was tricky.

i also honestly think golovkin has peaked and is on the slide. he's been taking hard shots in almost every fight for years now. 350 amateur fights. 36 years old. 4 fights a year as a pro in '13 alone.

tbh only watched Pirog fight Jacobs and no one else.

I think it would go like the proksa fight. Lots of hitting but GGG got a really solid chin. I mean people don't realize that taking a left hook from both Curtis Stevens and Lemiuex is incredible especially cause he didn't even wobble

Pirog da legend

[Sancho Puncho]

Pirog did better against Jacobs.
GGG did better against Ishida.
Hard to say who is a better fighter in his prime.
Pirog was very smart fighter with unconventional style, but GGG is more powerful, more healthy and more athletic. If they ever fought it could be Pirog by close decision or GGG by KO.
