He was fighting Javier Maciel (Argentina). After watching this, I think Jacobs could easliy handle him in a rematch. Maciel fought a shell first defense strategy, and he was picking the right spots, but the wrong choice of punches. I don't think Pirog is a bum, but I do have my doubts over him now,.
I've only read about and I haven't seen it so I can't comment, but Jacobs has his own issues too. I don't think he beats Pirog. Don't forget Pirog came to the USA to fight Jacobs and savagely knocked him out. If Jacobs wants revenge he needs to go to Russia. Plus - Jacobs is fighting nobody's since that KO and Pirog fought an undefeated Argentine. They wouldn't even put Jacobs in there with Maciel right now because of the risk. For me the top middleweights are:

Martinez
Sturm
Pirog
Williams

And somewhere in there also are Macklin, Sylvester, and Rubio.
