    Pirogs best win was Danny Jacobs. Barkley was a 2 weight world champ with a pair of wins over Tommy hearns. Who sounds more like the real deal based on what they actually did rather than how they looked on film?

    I in no way insulted Barkley. All I did was give my opinion on Pirog. Your the one taking offense not me. IMO I believe Pirog had he not gotten injured would have had a fantastic career ahead of him.

    He might have, but your opinion might be different had you seen him fight a series of top fighters instead of the domestic competition he faced. Not offended at all. Just laying out what I think "the real deal" means. Saying he would embarrass barkely because he beat Jacobs and a handful of domestic challengers is just wishful thinking

    That was a different poster that said he would embarrass Barkley. You need to double check the previous post. All I said is I thought he would beat Iran and I stick by that.

    I guess I just took things the wrong way. At first I thought you came at me a bit rough but it's all good. Check out my avatar. It's the Blade and myself at the Frazier statue unveiling
