    yes, but there's something on, why the f..k can't he just once be in shape?? he talks like "i was working really hard this time" or something like that and he comes overweight over and over again...

    I think that they are very opposite. Haye is a profesional and an idiot, while Arreola is unprofessional and a very nice guy. When mix them together, it would be a really good fighter (professional and a great guy) or a really **** fighter (unprofessional and idiot) :good

    If you get in the ring and TRY TO WIN then you can't ever be a disgrace to boxing. From what I saw in his fight vs. Vitali and Adamek Chris gave his all, he tried to win, he put in his entire heart and then some it just wasn't enough. That's not disgraceful. To the contrary, that is courageous and exactly what we want as boxing fans.

    Arreola is the same as a lot of other heavyweights but gets more stick because he is a contender.

    Dissapointment is a much more fitting word, as mentioned.

    Weighing in at 256 for this fight... come on. Thats 6lbs more then for Adamek, this guy just seems like he doesnt even try.

    As far as Haye... I don't think he is in any position to call someone a disgrace... he should look at himself first. That balless poof.

    I like Arreola. Last time he says in the interviews he didn't train for a few days before Adamek fight, cuz he understimated Adamek. Now he was supposed to be in great shape against Quezada. And what ? He's heavier than in Adamek fight. I don't like the way he prepares, but I like him in the ring, he's a cool guy too ( "I look like Shrek" :D ). Disappointment is a good word.

    He might as well just be a sideshow since he can't keep himself in check. He's either got a long period of "gatekeeper" days or he should retire. At his level of "committment" I'd recommend retiring before we see him plodding along close to 300lbs. All the heart in the world can't make you a better fighter, but it's a great asset to have. In order to succeed you must go beyond your heart and crystallize all known aspects of your game.

    He'd have to give his all in the kitchen, in the diet. That's where he's lacking. You can work out 5 hours a day, if you keep drinking beer, eating boatloads of junk food and carbs he'll still have 30 lbs of fat too much.

    I think he just cant look in better shape than he does! Some always looks in great shape, and others always look fat and sloppy. Imo Chris have done quite well so far for a "fat guy". He does have the balls and heart to fight the best, so i dont care how he looks.

    Not really.

    He has guts (excuse the pun) and he likes a good tear up. He shows up in horrible shape but still has the stamina to keep his arms moving for twelve rounds. I think people believe he could do better for himself if he dedicated a lot more in training.

    Yes, as a professional athlete your job is to workout & monitor what you eat. He's not very professional. You would think after losing your last fight really from being out of shape, he would be motivated. Since he has shown he's not a disciplined figher, he can't be taken seriously. He's just seen as an entertaining fighter. Nothing more. You would think the Nipples mentality would be "Well the better shape im in = the more $$$$ i make." He'd only have to be in shape for a few years, because with his style he won't last much longer.
