    What better skills? Come on the guy's so slow he may as well cement his boots to the canvas.

    I really don't think Chris Arreola has much of a chance against Wlad.

    Arreola is a waste of time. Klitschko should be putting as much pressure as he can on fighting for the last holdout title.

    Arreola will come to fight and that alone makes it a fight worth making.

    Haye Arreola makes much more sense, right now. As it is, both of them will be pummeled taking on the brothers, instead of each other.

    When has being a gatekeeper become special?

    Yes, as long as it lasts.

    Should be funny to see how HBO react if Arreola loses.
    They've been very good in the past of being utterly behind someone one moment, and then turning them into a punchline the next.

    If they're going to hype up Arreola, then they'll have to do some appropriate praise if Wlad clobbers him.

    Very interesting news! I very much hope that Wlad fights someone at least a liiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit worthy of his steel before he faces Povetkin at the end of next year.

    I also hope that Povetkin will square off against a known name and decent fighter in a tune up fight before he take on Wlad.

    IF they let chris fight wald right now , they're pretty much selling him out .. Chris is no shape , matter or form ready for Wald, at this point in chris career this is not even a fair fight.
    his conditioning is bad , not to mention his defense is **** , and over all skill level, he's not even ready for Sam Peter.

    Oh God no, I want the Povetkin fight more. Arreola gets KO'd, same way Rahman did in my opinion, he will keep trying but he won't be able to land anything worth mentioning till he's out.

    :lol:

    what exactly were chazz witherspoon's prospects? chazz is garbage, an absolutely useless fighter with no standout attributes. a man who got worked over by kendrick releford.

    ...and walker? a man who went 1-1 with tj wilson? an MD over jason estrada? yeah nice going chris, you're really fighting the who's who of upcoming heavyweights there!!!!!!1111

    sorry, you can't polish a turd.
