    From October 30th, 2014. My quick translation of the first 90 seconds:

    "HBO have been calling me recently saying they want me back on their programming, because fans not only in the USA but all over the world want to see me fight. It's an interesting division, with lots of good fighters. I won't name names because you know them. The biggest name has become Golovkin. We had a fight scheduled with HBO, which would have been pretty interesting. If God allows me to come back, I will fight Golovkin, not right away but in my second or third fight. Sooner or later we will cross paths. It will be a fascinating fight. We know each other despite never having boxed each other. We respect each other greatly. Our different styles will make it a great fight."

    He then goes on to talk about his charity fund for young athletes.

    Who wins the GGG-Pirog fight? Pirog is a cold-blooded stalker and will make GGG do something he has never done before: take a backward step.:bbb

    Exactly. If Dmitry was going to come back he would have done so by now. I suffered a similar injury myself and it takes years to get over it, and you never fully recover, so little chance of seeing him box again, sadly.

    Healthy Pirog is the only fighter at 160 who I would even think about picking to beat GGG. I don't think Pirog is healthy though.
    If he does come back, I hope one of his tune ups is against Sergio Martinez.

    Pirog is 34 and has been inactive for over 2 years. Sad to say but he's almost definitely done.

    "Pirog" means "pie" in Russian. Now he's promising boxing fans pie in the sky.:rasta

    He always had disc trouble in his spine. Despite a history of such trouble, he ...(rather stupidly IMO) persisted in using sledge hammers on tyres as part of his conditioning.

    Ruptured a disc doing it...bye bye career...what a disaster...:-(

    This should have happened LONNNNG ago, after he sparked Jacobs out and had some serious momentum. Now, with Pirog's inactivity it's not really relevant whatsoever.
