Is this really what the heavy weight class has become? Im wondering if I am the only one who believes Chris Arreola is a joke? They are making this guy out to be the next big thing but in reality hes a sub par fighter in the weakest weight in the sport. Can you imagine this guy in the ring with a prime tyson,holyfield,Lennox,Ali,foreman,frazier? he would be lucky to go 2 rounds. Someone tell me im not crazy. I watched him on the undercard of paul williams and also his previous fight when he was dropped I believe twice? Anyways let me hear some talk on this guy.
How can you say such a thing about the ESB-beloved Fatass Nipple?! Why, with the win over McCline, that makes him an ATG. A simple boxrec shows us the truth.... Behold! Fat Nipple KO > Jameel McCline UD > Shannon Briggs KO > Ray Mercer TKO > Tommy Morrison UD > George Foreman TKO > Joe Frazier UD > Muhammad Ali :deal
Arreola is the best American heavyweight, but not the best young heavyweight in the world. Compare McCline's body with the body he had when he fought Vlad.
You can think anything you want about Chris Arreola. It's a free world, do what you want. But, of the fighters you named in your post, only Iron Mike and Foreman have heavier hands than Chris Arreola. That's right, his hands are even heavier than Lennox Lewis. And if Chris ever could get by Lennox's jab, he would knock lennox out cold with one punch. His punch is that heavy and solid. I have only one thing to say to any fighter who fights Chris, GET YOUR CHIN READY. And to all Haye fans, pray your boy never enters a ring with Arreola, because Arreola might kill that boy you love, seriously too. Shatter that british chin.
You guys are really reading into that body type Arreola has way too much, the fact is Arreola does have a good amatuer background, even though he isnt cut up like the Klitschkos or Holyfield that doesnt mean he cant win a championship and it doesnt mean the divison is in trouble.
Chris is a very likable guy, he's authentic. BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY KEEP SAYING THE AMERICAN HOPE IS IT IRONIC THAT HE'S UMMMM CHUNKY AS HELL? SO IS AMERICA FINALLY COMFORTABLE WITH SAYING WE'RE FAT SO WE DEAL WITH IT.
he is the next big thing (a little too big), not because of his talent but because of his potential fanbase. the guy will put asses in seats anywhere in america. ali, frazier, foreman was a once in a lifetime era so expecting a similar crop is unrealistic. he is earning his right to the spotlight so more power to him.
He was put down like twice against Walker. Haye's speed, skills, and power would be too much for him.
Out of the Curret HW champions This is the order of HW's CH's he has the best chance of beating in order IMO. (& Why) 1. Wlad Klitschko: Because of his past trouble with swarmers & possible suspect chin 2. Vitali Klitschko: Age 3. N. Valuev: would be the hardest fight out of the 3, IMO too Big & CA does not have the PP to hurt this bear of a man. It's gonna take a Klit to beat this monster. That said, I don't think he can beat either champion.
