Golovkin is the future of the MW division!

I have heard rumors that Pirog is partially retired or is retiring.

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..

Are you sure? I read that he had a business in Russia and he was planning on retiring to work at it full-time.

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.

Dmitry Pirog Eyes a Ring Return in March 2013 on HBO - Boxing News

Demetrius Andrade? Even Alcine may be an option as a ticking over fight.There are still options even though fighters are tied up at the minute . I think GGG will have a major fight in 2013 it's inevitable.
