    What you'd pick the tub of lard over Haye are you Klitchski's bumboy?
    Haye would spread him all over the canvas like butter

    Arreola?
    Dude, You obviously have not seen haye fight.
    Hell, Barret is twice as fast as arreola and barret only landed 3 or 4 shots in the fight and you still think arreola would win(LOL!)
    Haye would destroy arreola and knock him spark out.

    IF Arreola gets in better shape, he CAN be the absolute most dangerous guy out there for Wlad. He has power, will not just sit there and get jabbed to death and WILL take the fight to Wlad forcing him to do, well, something. Now that something will probably be hold, clutch etc. so I pray to God that the referee in this fight is competent. If so, Wlad will be forced to fight and we could actually, finally, have a good HW matchup.

    Don't get me wrong, Wlad should stop Arreola as he is clearly the better skilled fighter. BUT... when was the last time Wlad was in there against an aggressive power puncher that wasn't afraid? A LONNNNNNNNG time ago. It'll be very interesting to see how he responds when being in that position again.

    No, Barrett was not a top 10. Couser knock him out in 2 months before. Even Valuev knock him out cold. And Valuev does not KO everyone as you may have noticed.

    Maybe Maccarinelli was higher than Barrett. I am not sure which fight to rank higher.

    Only aging Mormeck. It is one fight for Haye and there is a reason for it. He will be exposed. He knows it and jumps on 1 big fight before the hype is over. And the hype will be over very soon.

    You have clearly never seen Arreola fight then. Period.

    If you had, you'd know that they guy is the most exciting, albeit raw, fighter in the HW ranks. Think white Sam Peter wil a bit more skill. Remember what a very young and extremely raw Peter almost did to Wlad a few years ago?

    Mark my words... this WILL be an exciting fight. I guarantee that.

    I really don't see how your fantasies (Haye would do this, Haye would do that) overweigh the factual data, which is as follows:
    - Haye beat a somewhat decent opponent in Barrett.
    - Arreola beat two somewhat decent opponents in Witherspoon and Walker.

    Based on these results there is no reason to treat Haye and Arreola differently. Much less to call one a clown and the other superman.

    Barrett is nothing special in regard of speed. Yet, he managed to floor Haye. It makes you wonder about certain things.

    Arreola has fought much better competition in Whiterspoon and Walker. Arreola will knock Haye out.

    No chance would Orieola knock out Haye out.What has he achieved?
    Haye unified the cruiserweight division.
    Orieola's disposed of the crispy creme division

    this would not be a bad fight and Arreloa probably is the best American Heavyweight. It will be exciting for as long as it lasts.

    This'll be a whitewash. My impression of this guy is a not as good Peter clone without the chin. Wlad will jab him to death and knock him out.

    It's pretty ridiculous really if it's happening, Arreola's fought nobody.

    Arreola is beating prospects left and right, establishing himself as the man among the next generation of heavyweights.
    Haye's disposed off a human punching bag Bonin and an old never-was Barrett.

    How's that?

    He's the white Peter will better skills. Especially now that Peter's chin is history too.

    Not true, Barett was a good gatekeeper 3-8 years ago (take the exposure of Mesi for example)
