[QUOTE=THE PHILOSOPHER;1127893]I have heard rumors that Pirog is partially retired or is retiring.Are you sure? I read that he had a business in Russia and he was planning on retiring to work at it full-time.He's not semi retired. He is planning a return fight this march i think. I doubt it wil be against GGG though who is fighting in march also. Pirog would be too rusty..
In any event, he won't fight GGG until end of the year at the earliest. Quillin has to defend his title against Rubio, assuming he beats Guerrero. I bet Junior will face Macklin as a warm-up for Martinez. Martinez fights Murray in April and then Junior again in the fall (although I don't really see the point in that fight). Geale fights Mundine, assuming be beats Mundine, he'll face Sturm again, but this time in Australia. Thus, who is left? Barker? I just doubt Hearn puts Barker in against Golovkin. If Barker is going to get a big fight, he'll aim for Quillin, Geale or Junior. I really don't know who is left, unless Golovkin faces Trout or another big name at 154.
