I know this ain't a body-building contest,,, and I'd like to think Arreola's pathetic shape isn't really a big deal. [They claim he's in shape, despite how he looks] I love his fighting style. An aggressive HW who actually comes forward and throws combinations... What's not to like? But I'm racking my brain trying to think of one dominant HW champion who ever came into the ring looking anywhere close to that bad! Even Foreman in his mid 40's never looked like such a slob. I don't write Chris off in this fight,,, but it don't look good. (literally) :-(
The HW division of today gets **** on a lot by fans, but one thing the critics are right about is that some of the fighters today just don't put in the gym work, and ROUTINELY show up 10-15 pounds, or more, overweight. Arreola is a prime example of this. I think he's fully aware of what's awaiting him so he just didn't bother to whip himself into shape since he's gonna get destroyed anyway.
