Don't know much about this fighters and never seen them in action, but heard good things.
Who's the better between them?
What's the upside?
Some of them are already entering contender status, can they all make it to the top?

never seen them in action? Are u seriuos?! This is an upcoming G4 in middleweight
Korobov is not yet enough to be talked with these guys.
Golovkin looks amazingly good, but you still need to wait a bit to say more.
Pirog is obviously good, but can he take a serious punch? He isnīt the best defender out there.

All your mentioned fighters have shown very impressive and convincing performances recently.
Korobov still needs time before he can mix it up with some of Pirog's,Ndam's and Golovkin's victims.
Due to his base in France African Ndam flies under the radar of a lot of knowledgeable fight fans.To be honest I was very impressed by the way the dismantled Martirosyan.Classy performance.He seems to be the real deal.I was also impressed by the way Pirog outboxed and punished former top contenter Jantuah and by the way he brutally stopped Kodzoev who is a teak tough warrior and a serious test for any middle weight out there.
At this point of time I dont dare to toss a coin and jump to one side of the fence.
Ndam,Korobov,Golovkin,Pirog,all of them have tht potential to capture a world title.
Korobov and Golovkin have the best amateur credentials,but both Ndam and Pirog have shown very impressively versatile skills.
Ndam throws punches from really crazy angles and his head movement is that one of a venomous reptile.
Pirog 's uppercut is a feast for our sore eyes and a true pleasure to watch.

I like Golovkin the best.
He easily goes threw some decent competition.Should step up but the promoter is limited.
I know N'dam Hassan is my friend , I attended all his professional fights, and certainly Golovkin Koborov were better as an amateur and it has a lot of thing like structure and means but professional Hassan is an alien, he is more mobile, faster and especially more varied, I saw almost all the fighting Golovkin, it is powerful and seems to hit hard but Hassan is more complete if s 'I bet on face Hassan, especially that is not very Golovkin al'aise a mobile boxers, I saw Hassan make a large decision, Pirog is very good, it is varied and it is a courageous machine to blows But defensively, he was making progress, I see Hassan better, faster, more mobile, better technically. The next fighter Hassan is scheduled for October 24.
They are all good.
I like Pirog. N'dam is also extremely impressive.

Golovkin looks average, Korobov hasn't had that many fights so its hard to tell how good he is. N'Jikam looks fast and a little awkward at times, hes always popping the jab and moving which is very good. For me Pirog is the best, he's got very good fundamentals a pretty good jab,good uppercut but sometimes he telegraphs his big shots. He's fought much better opositon, so i gotta go with pirog tbh.

How does Golovkin look average?
He blasted Mamani in 1 round.The argie went 12 with Alcine,knocked out Crazy Kim,and went the distance with Sturm.
Malik Daziarra is also a durable opponnet who he stopped in 3.
And Carvalho went the distance with beltholder Zbik and Golovkin blasted him in 2.
Personally I don't see how he is average,he looks very good against his limited but good level of opposition so far.

The mamani fight was stopped premeture. Crazy kim was up on the cards against Mamani i beleive before the KO?. Alcine and Sturm arn't noted power punchers are they?. I wouldn't say Malk Dazirra is durable but it was a good win for Golovkin. Zbik has gone the distance with quite a few bums but ive just watched the fight against the durable Ian Gardner and Golovkin looked good, think ive changed my opinion. Above average :good

Premature or not the KO was coming.
He certainly i above average.
If he beats Gevor or somebody like that I'd rank him in te top 10 at MW.

I can't say who the best is right now, but I've seen things that bode well for all 4 of them. They're a solid group of up and comers who should be getting a little more attention stateside than they are- with the exclusion of Korobov, of course, whose promoters have done a good job thus far with making him visible to the average fan. Ironically, he's the least accomplished professionally of the foursome.

Yep! Pirog has fought the best opposition up to now.Therefore he probably deserves to be called the best of the pack at this moment of time.However,I am not really sure whether he would win a fight against a more experienced Korobov,or against Ndam or Golovkin.
Anyway! At this stage of their careers Pirog for certain has the most recognisable scalps under his belt.
