    Yes he is fat, yes he is undisciplined, yes he cried after the loss to Vitali, yes swears he alot...but in the end of the day he got in the ring with one of the Klits, something Haye has avoided

    I think a lot of people over rate Arreola's actual skill regardless of his weight. The guy is a fighter, he'll go for anyone and wont shy away from mixing it up. But, regardless of his weight he isnt that polished of a boxer, he is more of a limited brawler with good stamina and power.

    I dont find him a disgrace or a disappointment. I think he is exactly what he can be and should be. I don't see a lot of upside potential for him.

    Something around these lines.

    Arreola has balls like a brass ******. Haye.... welll....doesn't.

    Someday, arreola will overcome his weight problem for a couple of figths, and maybe have a good run. Haye will forever be remembered as the guy who runs off at the mouth and then doesn't fight.

    Almost, he at least shows up to fight.

    The fact that he doesn't get in shape is a disgrace though. It is only that because he does have some potential but he will never reach it. Fat ****

    That too, there isn't a fighter alive that I dislike more than Haye.

    I like Arreola a lot, I'm just totally disappointed in him and I have no given up any hope of him being more than a decent contender. In fact I expect him to fall of further into total irrelavency

    Arreola got in a great workout tonight with Quezada on ESPN....... Arreola's weight is an issue, but, what seems to be even a bigger issue is his scar tissue and facial swelling..... Arreola cannot allow himself to be nailed and all puffed up like that each and every fight...... He's gonna be a seriously grizzled looking dude by age 40.......

    I wouldn't call Arreola a Disgrace because I enjoy watching his aggressive, fan friendly fighting style. Not to mention his up front and honest personality, but his complete lack of professionalism and dedication to the sport of boxing is very disappointing. Especially when you take into account that there's history to be made. If Arreola can cease the oppurtunity and drop the extra crispy bucket of KFC. To become the 2nd Latino Heavyweight Champion of the world!!! If that's not getting Arreola motivated nothing will.

    I disagree he does have some skill. He looked bad tonight but in other fights ive seen him throw combinations that other heavyweights cant. You dont become a National Golden gloves champ at LH with no skill.

    Haye refuses to fight Arreola and always will refuse. Arreola would knock Haye out right now! Arreola is a top heavyweight contender, something that Haye is not.

    And therefore he quit on his stool instead of training for the Heavyweight Champion ship.
    :patsch

    Arreola is a disgrace. A fat non trained so called boxer.

    I posted that before the fight tonight. i'd say it was a spot on assessment though as evidenced by tonight. Lots of guys who are good fighters/brawlers make it to contender status. I am not saying he has NO boxing skills, I am saying he isnt a polsihed, well disciplined boxer. He lacks defense, throws looping punches, throws himself off balance, has slowish hands and relies on workrate.

    My post stands.
