....Fighting WBO mando's instead of fighting the winner of pw and sm. He looked good on HBO and delivered, so he should be rewarded. Who would the winner of pw and sm fight that would be more compelling or deserving than pirog? Pavlik? pfft. We the fans need to get behind this fight and push for it. Too many guys are still sleeping on pirog 'cause he's a pasty white russian who's not supposed to be able to do what he does, and he'll get exposed 'cause all he beat was a nobody prospect by sensational KO. Blah,blah,blah. He's the 3rd best middle in the world based on acheivement alone. Talent wise. I think he beats pwill and sergio back to back. All he needs is the experience and mainly, the chance.
your right i definitely want to see him fight the winner of those 2, but he can fighta tune up for now fight the winner of that fight in march or something thats cool. i got a weird feeling though that pac will be the next opponent of pw martinez, i sure hope not.
I definitely wanna see Pirog test himself against the best at MW while the division is so stacked and before he gets too old, he's no spring chicken.
If Pav, Marinez and pwill are all middles than Pirog is not the third best based on acheivement but i would like to see him against all three. There are a handfull of middleweight matches that are interesting if they are made.
Pav ain't a middle anymore. Don't let the posts fool you. He can't make 160 anymore. He walks around skinny at 185. Pav is done. Pirog is the future, and the 3RD best at the weight. Let me clarify. 3rd best
