agree fighting weight. Sanders was a one hit wonder 37 year old fat journeyman who klitschko fans try to hype as some "super" southpaw when in realitiy, he was not a world class fighter.
Vitali vs Peter is what vitali vs arreola would look like. Most of his fights have ended before round 6. If Vitali was to take arreola to the 2nd half of the fight, Vitali Knocks him out. I don't know about arreolas stamina as of yet.
Arreola may get cold feet and see the light and realize he is NOT ready for Klit just yet......... Klit will pound this lazy slob who's blubbery at 255 pounds.........:bbb :rasta MR.BILL:shock:
It is easy to look good against poor quality opposition. Vitali Klitschko is on another level. I have seen nothing from Arreola that would lead me to believe he can get the early knockout, and if the fight goes to the later rounds conditioning is sure to become an issue.
At first I was against this fight. I like Arreola, and don't want him having a career setback through being thrashed by Vitali. We need some credible contenders at Heavyweight. I figured that we can let Arreola clear out the Maskaevs or Chagaevs or whatever, then he can try one of the Klits. I wanted him to make some real noise in the division before his light gets extinguished. But then I realised that a loss doesn't have to be such a setback for him. If he has the right kind of character then he will grow into a better fighter from having Vitali whoop his ass. Some fighters are never the same after a loss, but some improve. If he puts up a brave show then his stock will rise anyway. Just look at how Vitali's stock rose after his own defeat to Lewis. Arreola could very easily be ballsy enough in defeat that he will actually gain more fans and respect. In no way at all do I think he can win. Unless Vitali's body breaks down again. So I was against this fight happening. Now I'm all for it. Bring this fight on!
As much as i like Arreola and want to see him succeed, this fight is a mismatch. He won't find a way to get inside of Vitali and would have a hard time stopping his consistent jab. He doesn't have enough head movement or explosiveness to nullify his disadvantages. Basically i see him being picked apart and stopped late when he tires out.
