    :lol:

    Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. In fairness to you, Chauncy hasn't beaten a top ranked contender and he would be the first to admit that. However, that isn't due to a lack of effort on his part.

    Chauncy was very polite and respectful in expressing his desire to meet up against Arreola, and Cirstobal seemed like he was interested in the challenge.

    I for one would like to see the fight.

    As I already stated, logic dictates that you would have to favor Arreola based soley on big fight experience. Style-wise, however, Chauncy could potentially be a nightmare for The Nightmare.

    The wild card, to me, is how well Chauncy's chin holds up against Arreola's best shots. Chauncy has better overall boxing skills and a much better jab. He also has great stamina and has no problems going 12.

    If Chauncy stands up to Arreola's best shots, Cristobal will be in for a long and difficult evening.

    Either way, this fight is very intriguing.

    I'm entitled to my opinion, but what about my avatar? Whether it's you or BoxingGirl that's changing it, it's pretty childish and certainly doesn't reflect well.

    Easy low risk fight for Arreola. The only thing that he risks is getting crap for fighting Chauncy and not a more credible opponent. It would be an entertaining fight and I have to say I am pretty sure Arreola would thoroughly enjoy fighting him. He'd get to swing for the rafters and not go looking for him.

    I'd like Chauncy to fight him because his ranking is overrated as far as I am concerned. He needs to fight someone to justify it. The talk of world domination needs to end and that can only happen in the ring. Arreola is just the guy to do it and it's going to damn fun to watch him do it.

    Both fighters seem to be the sort of person that the average man on the street can get behind. It won't be a boxing clinic but it will be entertaining.

    Why don't YOU show some respect. Did you see me calling him schoolyard names? I simply made a valid point that none of his ESB yes men here will tell him.

    Nice radio moment. Arreola reacted well I think. It appears he leaves his matchmaking to Goosen though.

    So the question is whether Welliver poses a risk. If Welliver poses no risk, then I agree that Arreola is a good fight to take. However, if Welliver is a risk, Arreola might avoid it, and take on an easier eliminator fight.

    I've only seen Welliver fight against Solis but it's hard to tell anything from that since he's supposedly 40 lbs lighter now.

    Since when has Arreola ever avoided risk? Like i said in an earlier post name me one hw who has fought 2 of the top 5 hws? Haye was scared and Arreola jumped at the chance of fighting vitlai with only 8 week notice.. Also took on Adamek without no bull**** stalls or hold outs... he ihas shown he is more willing to fight anyone... More so than the other Heavyweights.

    Wouldn't mind this fight since it could put either an end to the Welliver internet propoganda or prove he is a force. I think Chris puts him to sleep and early. I rather see Welliver fight Minto, Walker, or even Abell to see where he is at. Much respect to both if the fight comes off.

    If Arreola wants to fight Releford, why not fight Chauncy next? Chauncy is ranked. Releford isn't. And Arreola wants to stay busy. Personally, I'd like to see how Chauncy does against top competition since he's gotten serious about boxing and lost all that weight, got a good trainer, and is ready to step up.

    Calling Adamek top 5 at the time Arreola fought him is a bit of a stretch.

    I like Adamek. In fact, I'm a big fan of Adamek, but wins over a totally shot Golota and razor thin verdict against Estrada HARDLY make him a top 5.

    Actually even though Chauncy has the much better record than Releford. Releford actually has some good wins, hes beaten better guys opponents.

    He upset Eliceir Castillo whowas a fringe contender at the time... Also former contender and solid journeyman Ramon Garabey.. As well as giving top Cw contender Troy Ross all he wanted... Where as Welliver has lost to guys that make ^^ those guys look elite.

    Releford isnt gonna beat no contenders right now, but hes not a tomato can either...On agood night capable of giving good fighters a solid test and hes hard to ko tool.. If Releford would have stood at Cw and not fell into being an "opponent" for hw prospects and contenders,.. He would have been world class at that weight.

    I agree i also dont think hes all that at HW... But he has earned a top 5 ranking considering the guys out there right now. its Wlad,Vitali,Haye,Adamek,Povetkin.. U couldd but povetkin higher but hes inactive.. Most lists ive seen are similar... Estrada did give him a good fight but Arreola fought im closer.. Besides whhen Estrada is on he could upset or beat some guys... Its not that Adamek is so good its that the majorityof the hw contenders arent doing ****, but fighting opponents no one cars aboutm oir else nto fighting at all... Herelius had a good win over Peter.. And Chambers was on the right ttrack before losing to wlad, nut everyone else isnt doing sht.... Believe it or not wins over Arreola,Estrada,Golota,Grant,MCbride,Madolene withing a short period of time is better than anything anyone else is doing:-(
