    Im well known amongst my friends for my extremely dry wit. Think of me as a black "Jack Dee" :blood

    I think his intensity, combinations and heavy hands could give Wlad some real problems. Haye would be an interesting fight, but I don't know if Haye can stand up to the pressure. Vitali is probably a bridge too far.

    This is the crux of the point for me. Iv not seen anything from Arreola that even resembles boxing. He just looks like a fat guy walking forward throwing leather? Its quite odd to watch.. As for he's defense forget about it. Arreola is so fat he cant even put his hands together or his guard up.

    Try again, please.

    ARREOLA: rounds boxed 81 : KO% 88.89
    V. KLITSCKO: rounds boxed 164 : KO% 92.31
    Posts like that are some of the reasons Arreola is getting the rap as a hype job. HE JUST ISN'T AS GOOD AS PEOPLE CLAIM.

    A win over 38 year old retired out of shape Jameel McCline and you're ready to become HW Champ? He's marketable which is the only reason he's got that shot right now.

    He's got a better claim to a title shot than guys like Khan and Gamboa.

    Gamboa is a solid prospect. Khan is not. Either way the comparison is quite hollow considering the depth of there respective divisions. Arreola is where Sam Peter was 4 years ago. Another fat heavy with high hopes.

    I can't even believe some of the garbage I hear in thin forum. Valuev will give him the toughest time of the 3 belt holders! He is heavier handed than Lewis! What's wrong with you people?

    They love out-of-shape gangbangers?

    I love this shot - blubbery rolls, right tit being pulled down by gravity, hands open, ready to be countered, off balance in a lunge... he opens himself up like this against Wladimir and he'll take a straight right down the pipe or a left hook that will end his dreams once and for all.

    He'll get his jaw cracked once he steps up. These find the tomato can things have a way of taking care of themselves.

    You're having a laugh, right? At least I hope so for your mental health.
