Better 1st championship fight showing: Haye or Arreola?

Completely agree. Thats why I have such a problem with Hayes victory. Valuev was an easy target to steal a "belt" from. The guy hasn't fought anyone of note and the few of note he did, he either lost and or was given gift decisions. Ironically, he passed the gift decision good luck onto Haye for this one because I actually thought Valuev won it. Regardless, to be in a close fight vs Valuev is pathetic, unless your an old Holyfield in which case its understandable and you should have actually gotten the decision. Think Arreola has a lot more potential and Arreola vs Haye would result in a Haye defeat even though Arreolas boxing skills appear to be quite limited vs great fighters, which Haye is not.
