    Morrisons nothing Special but wins against James Tillis , Pinklon Thomas , Carl Williams and Foreman are light years ahead of Travis Walker. Morrison is another level to fatboy who is only hyped because the USA is starved of stars

    Possibly but styles make fights, and how many brawls did Morrison come out on top of when he was facing a puncher who had a better chin than him?

    Foreman was slower than Arreola.

    Thats one, and Morrison was on the deck a lot himself. I dont think Arreola has ever been down and I think he has a better chin than Ruddock whose chin was kinked pretty good by some rough fights at that point.

    I think he wanted to have a sit down against Walker really more than anything. He took a shitload of heavy shots off Vitali.

    You know what if you were a fan then or knew anything about boxing you would not even throw Thomas and tillis in there.:patsch Especailly Pinklon Thomas who would have mopped up Tommy in a brutal fashion:yep:bbb Carl Williams was past it and almost did the job so you can GTFOH with those weak ass comebacks:-( If tommy boy boxed safe the way he did against George hes got a shot, but he wouldnt do that hed get drawn in and get KTFOD by Arreola. He would rock him worse than Michael Bennt :nono

    Arreola is pretty much garbage. Tommy, for all his flaws, had a lot more going for him in his pomp. Good handspeed, underrated boxing skills which he displayed against Big George, crushing left hand power, etc. I think he'd make mincemeat of Nipples, chins be damned.

    Arreola is ONLY relevant because the heavyweight division right now is horrid! In the 90's Arreola wouldnt even be a suitable sparring partner. Tommy knocks his head clean off within 3 rounds.

    I'm going to give Arreola credit for a pretty good chin. His conditioning, however, is terrible. I have no reason to think he would get in good shape to fight Morrison. I'm going with Tommy Morrison by decision win.

    Just imagine Arreola as a contender back in the 70's. Or for that matter, Morrison.
