Arreola, at present. Took the Vitali-Fight way overweight, went through a hellish punishment and refused to quit until his corner stepped in. Only a half year later he fought Adamek (after his comeback in december against Minto) and lost on scorecards, even though he injured his hands early in the fight. Same procedure in August, when he slugged it out with Quezada. He threw more than 1000 Punches in twelve rounds and managed two KDs with pretty ****ed up hands. You can say what you want about Arreola's courage in training and so on, but in the ring he is quite simply hard as ****.
he takes every fight overweight, thats not brave its just plain lazy. i dont know about hard as ****, lard as **** would be more appropriate...
Yeah, it's lazy and a bit stupid, you're absolutely right. But at least in his fights he always displays the right dedication.
doesnt that frustrate you though? i mean i know hes game as **** inside the ring but his lack of fitness hinders him, imagine what he could do with that determination if he put the hard graft in at his training camp beforehand...
It frustrates me, of course it does! i think, his bad training habits are providing just the excuses which he can offer to himself after losing a (close) fight. It's a mental thing.
Holyfield by far. Nobody in their right mind would choose to brawl with Bowe, Lewis, Foreman, Tyson, Qawi and Valuev at 50 years old.
