    To be fair, he is a tough guy, who does put alot of pressure on his opponent. Decent skills, and just above average power, although I think his power is overrated.

    Adamek already beat him,as did Vitali, and we know he stands no chance against Wlad, so don't waste Wlad's prime years with that fiasco of a matchup.

    I think Haye beats him, as does even the current Chagaev, as well as Helenious, and Povetkin. Chambers also embarrasses him, in my opinion.

    But who is the best heavyweight that you see Arreola overcoming?


    Arreola vs Wach would be a good fight, as would Arreola vs Fury. Maybe the winner of Barrett and Tua would be a good matchup for Arreola.

    A man's gotta know his limitations, to quote Clint Eastwood.

    He is not by any means WAY below Adamek or Haye. Even though Adamek beat him in a close freaking fight, I give him a good chance against him in a rematch and against Haye.

    He's only the 3rd best American HW. Chambers and Thompson beat him imo. Certainly overrated considering his best win is either a semi-retired Mccline or C. Witherspoon. Would not include him as a top 10 hw.

    TITTY! He has really impressed me as of late. I tell you a good brawl was him vs. Travis Walker AGAIN but I'd say the new Arreola would roll over him. Time for him to take on someone like Helenius or the likes, maybe Wach someone young and moving up also.

    I like his chances against anyone not named Klitschko. I would like to see a Adamek rematch.

    Dimitrenko would be a good match-up. I like Arreola but Dimitrenko could use his size to win on a good night.

    He could probably beat Tyson Fury, and this Wach as well. He could beat shot David Tua or Sam Peter.

    Povetkin and Chagaev are harder to call, but I favor Haye, Thompson, and Chambers to take Arreola. Adamek/Arreola II could be a close fight--if Arreola shows up 20 lbs lighter than the last fight that could be the difference..

    I think I would pick Arreola to get to Helenius as well (at this stage in RH's career). Given RH's performance vrs. Peter I doubt he could handle Arreola's pressure.

    The Canadian Heavyweight Champ Neven Pajkic would be a fun fight to watch....Tua would be a good decision win for him at this point. David Banks?

    In beating Joey Abell?

    Put the new and improved Arreola in against Tony Thompson, Albert Sosnowski, or even Kevin Johnson, and it'd be a hard fight to call.

    Arreola vs Peter or Arreola vs Tua would be great fights to see, for limited, tough slugger type matchups.


    Another run at a *name*, and the eventual loss, will cause Arreola to become another Sam Peter: a once exciting prospect that has been tested, beaten soundly, and then very quickly reduced to a being a spent force.

    The first Mexican HW champion is apparntely not going to be this guy.
