i like arreola he brings his all/lets his hands go/and makes the most of what talent he has. you do not always need talent to go to the top determination and will to win/combined with a great chin can be enough to beat a more talented fighter. with his style arreola`s chin will be the deciding factor on how far he goes. if it is granitwe then he will be an uncomfertable fight for every heavy. if he gets rocked and put on the backfoot and is made to think about coming in and getting inside he will be found out skillwise. IMO he beats this version of david tua though.
I'm just curious how you guys can make any definititve statements about Tua at this point? Have you seen any of his recent fights? I haven't seen the guy since the Rahman fight. My opinion is that Tua would be a smart option for Arreola. Goosen knows what he's doing. Tua is a name fighter who is most likely faded from what he once was. Whatever you say about Arreola, he's an aggressive young guy with strength and what appears to be a good chin. I haven't seen Tua lately, but just factoring in age and lack of meaningful fights in years, I think Arreola outworks and uses Tua as a stepping stone to a more meaningful fight.
