I hold Pirog in very high regard, I'm part of a minority that believes he would have beaten Golovkin if they'd met as planned in their primes. As much esteem as I do hold Steele in, Pirog is a damn h2h fantasy match-up unicorn, IMO.
Pirog had greatness written on him IMO ..I was upset when he couldnt get over the back injury. The man knew his craft. A real student of the game.
