    The nightmare is in training again and targetting a big fight in December. His team is searching for a new opponent.

    Potential opponents could be:

    Vyacheslav Glazkov
    Andy Ruiz JR
    Mike Perez
    Gerald Washington

    Who do you want to see as an opponent for Arreola?

    Perez fight could be brutal. :think

    by run you mean plod, I guess?!

    But it's good to see that he still hasn't lost the balls to fight decent opponents, unlike many others.

    Glazkov isn't as good as his ranking suggests. Maybe Arreola could take him, although it's a big question mark.

    Guess Wilder will retire after Stiverne puts him in a coma :think

    I'd love to see him against Andy Ruiz Jr. Just to see where Andy is right now. Arreola is still no pushover. He can still put a few heavyweights to sleep.

    Arreola's days of being a top 10 contender are probably coming to an end. If he were to fight any of the guys on that list next I'd be impressed.

    I think his best option, on that list, would be Washington. He's not ready for Arreola yet and would be a nice win for Arreola and probably end up on tv as well.

    All the other guys would probably be slightly favored over Arreola but they're good close fights.

    **** Arreola. He should retire. No talent, no discipline, no hunger to make it to the top. His fights against Stiverne were pathetic. Knocking out Mitchel proved to be a flash in the pan.

    Disagree. He got talent, power and his fights are always fun to watch. But he lacks discipline and comes in overweight.

    He did well against Stiverne in the second bout, but that right hand Stiverne landed would probably knock 95% of the heavyweights out. I think Stiverne is world class and hits like a truck.
