Why Did Dimitry Pirog Retire??

Again, You're Affording Pirog Every Single BENEFIT of the Doubt. Clearly, you're Biased in Favor of the Dude.

Why WOULDN'T he Mention the Ramifications of Back Surgery, in his Retirement Statement? If he's Already Tried EVERY Treatment there is for his Back, Why WOULDN'T that be Noted?

As is, it Very Much appears that Pirog was a Talented Fighter Clearing LACKING Drive and Unless You have Evidence to the Contrary, Please stop Making Lame Ass EXCUSES for him.

I don't give a shit about the guy - it's not his job to please you or make any of his medical issues public. Boxing is one of the toughest sports in the world. Nobody of us has the balls to do it, yet if a fighter doesn't fight through broken bones and jaws he is not tough.

Boxing is full of pussies it seems... ::

And you guys need to stop with the biased and fanboy shit, do you see me calling you a hater or something?

 

Like it or Not, a Fighter's LEGACY is Dissected, Debated and Ultimately DETERMINED by Boxing Writers, ie., Glorified Boxing FANS.

Everything about this Retirement is Puzzling. Whenever Pirog's Boxing Exploits are Noted, his DESIRE will Rightfully Come into Question and Be Held Against him.

You're being Called a "Fanboy" Because Pirog's Case is Bordering on INDEFENSIBLE, yet Here You Are Repeatedly Offering Up Explanations on his Behalf.




REED

 

No, it's called being objective and not jumping to conclusions when not having all the information. The opposite of Fanboyism would be coming here repeatedly accusing a fighter of pussying out of a career, when not even knowing what his problems are. This is how I see your behavior. And I just come back here because I like arguing with you and of course I won't call you a hater because I think the same goes for you.

Don't you think every man who is tough enough to step in the ring with guys who wanna smash his face in deserves a little more respect and also deserves to hang them up whenever he damn pleases to. Even if it's after his second fight. Even if he is like damn I don't like to be hit in the face all that much, that shit ain't for me. That's honest and at least he tried it. There are people who know that before being stupid enough to start a boxing career and no one would accuse them of being a pussy.

 

Evander Holyfield has a Quote that Perfectly Sums up the Mindset of most Boxing Fans, and Why he was Such an Entertaining Fighter.

"Fans want to See Fighters do Things they Can't Do or are Afraid to Do Themselves."

If Pirog has a Debilitating, Incurable Back Injury that's VERFIED by a Physician, What's the Harm in just Saying That?

You, REED or any other Fight beater Could SAY we're Retiring from Something Similar. But TRUE "Fighter" would Exhaust Every Option AND Make that Known to the Masses, Before Calling it Quits.

Not sure what's Sooooo Hard to Understand about That.

reed is the type of guy who gets mad at players like barry sanders for retiring.

 

Fair enough...
