Would Pirog have derailed the GGG hypetrain?

    Almost certainly the best laugh this rather brooding forum has given me. :lol:

    That is correct, he said it was more grueling.

    Some people live in dreams. Pirog was good but come on. He wasn't a god.

    You realise two of the cards for Canelo are 7-5 cards, and two of the cards for GGG are 7-5 with a KD... which makes this statement (which you're trying to debunk) true.

    Thank you, it wasn't even my main contention, not even close to it and the scoring was basically the same. Canelo scored clearer rounds but when isn't he going to be given a round that could possibly go his way? Almost never.

    Same can be said of GGG.

    He had injured his back terribly repeatedly at that point and he still dominated Ishida despite being limited in his movement for the bout.

    Pirog made easy work of Jacobs and ggg went life and death with him. I think pirog would have beaten ggg.

    Wow. The tide has turned for GGG.
    You start to slip in your mid and late thirties " lose" one decision and everyone thinks you' have been a hype job your whole career.
    That's pretty harsh.
    Many boxing people still consider him unofficially undefeated.
    I would talk a late 20's early 30's GGG to stop Pirog late.

    The judges were fixing to rob Pirog against Jacobs and the look of shock on B-Hop's ugly mug when Dmitry dropped him like he'd been shot in the face by an elephant rifle was priceless. I wish I could've seen the look on Oscar's face too albeit it was considerably more handsome than his snaggle-toothed GB partner and some say beau. They paid Pirog a bag of peanuts only the monkey they were expecting didn't show up

    This, the only part im not sure on is whether he stops him, its a very close fight as Pirog was special. GGG of the Macklin time period stops Jacobs too imo
