I think he beats everybody else except maybe wlad but, could wlad handle the pressure from arreola? and could he take those shots? No one has mentioned about how he stunned vitali in the 8th and we know he has twice the chin wlad has.
Vitali has 10 times the chin of Wlad. But Wlad is faster and extremely good with the jab, in fact, with different kind of jabs. He sets offense up with the jab, distance with the jab, times it very well when the opponents come in and stick it in your face making you blind for a second. There's a better % chance of course of Arreola knocking Wlad out, maybe he can prepare to throw the right "blindly", walking probably into a Wlad jab but still throwing the right. But the jab is so fast and so powerful that it breaks the attack and you better put your hands up because the follow-up right is lethal. Both Klitschkos use their height supremely well, so the only way Cris could win is a lucky punch, and as I've stated, he can practice for that blind overhand right, I'd give about 15% chance of landing. Cris is pretty good, also better conditioned and faster than you'd expect from his shape, IMO he can clearly beat the Sam Peter-Eddie Chambers-Oleg Maskaev type of guys and his aggressiveness would give Valuev a lot of trouble. I'd pick him to absolutely KTFO Haye after tasting David's power early. So Cris is actually a pretty good HW contender.
Against what guys? To be fair, he didn't really stun Vitali in round 8, he landed a jab about 1 minute in and people got excited in the crowd, and then a right hand with about 10 seconds left but Vitali wasn't exactly hurt/stunned.
Sorry esb i fu**ed up this thread! But i thin you know wher e im getting at give me some of your opinions
From that list I think Povetkin and Haye have the beating of him. Chambers looked good last time out but I worry he will be too lazy and inactive against a pressure fighter like Arreola. He would have trouble getting passed Valuev's jab and I don't think he has the power to topple or stop the big man. He would probably win against Ruiz, who is the only fighter on that list that I would give him a great chance of beating.
:nono YES HE DID AND WATCH IT! MAYBE CUZ HAVE OF US WATCHING THEFIGHT HAVE BEEN IN THE RING BEFORE? OR COULD IT BE THAT WERE ALL FROM SOUTHERN CALI LA AREA? NA KLITCHKO GOT BUZZED AND EVEN THOUGH CHRIS GOT HIS ASS WHUPPED HE REPRESENITIVED HIM SELF WELL, BETTER THAN LOT OF THE POST HAVE BEEN SAYING. THEY ARE TALKING LIKE IF HES SOME BUTTERBEAN TYPE.......BELIEVE ME CHRIS IS A LEGIT CONTENDER, IT IS JUST VITALI IS THAT GOOD, AND CHRIS KNOCKS OUT ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE:bbb
FFS why all the Arreola love? The guy got utterly outclassed. I don't think he beats any of those guys.
1 - You haven't been in the ring. You are clearly ******ed, because I can barely understand a word you're saying and you can't even make a poll properly. And since when somebody have to have boxed competitively to know whether somebody was hurt by a punch? 2 - Nobody is saying he's a Butterbean type. He's obviously way above that level, but the fact is he hasn't even beaten a top 25 heavyweight yet. C+ level guys like McCline & Walker are his best wins. 3 - I think he loses to Eddie Chambers, who when in shape I regard as the best US heavy. He's quick, durable and a decent ring marshall. I think he'd out box Arreola. I also think he gets outworked by Povetkin, and probably loses to a couple of other's.
That last Eddie Chambers fight was great, the one vs Potompkin was ****. I'd give Eddie a chance to pull a decision. Potompkin is a better boxer than Chris showed in this the only fight I've seen of him...I've seen many of Potompkin's fights. I could not vote becasue I did not understand the poll...against Valuov he'd have a very good chance...No...I think Chris would win.
Chambers may have a good chance, Wlad would be too much for Chris as well...Povetkin will lose in a battle and so would Haye.
The main problem for Arreola here is that nobody has dented Tua's chin before. In a firefight of power vs. power, the chin is a huge factor.
