I'm no fan of Peter by a long stretch, but I don't see how you can say Arreola "clearly" has the better chin. Based on what? The Mcline fight aside, I've seen Peter take some huge shots and stay upright , while Chris got wobbled and took a knee from a couple Travis Walker right hands.
Just because Vitali made him look like **** doesn´t mean Arreola can hop in the ring and KO Peter.Even after Peter´s horrible performance against Vitali i would consider him a slight favorite against Arreola.
Both these guys are embarrassing to the division, then again the current HW scene is an embarrassment to Boxing. Honestly this fight could go either way.
Ok, but present day Vitali would KO Louis --and I really respect Joe-- but he was in the most embarrassing HW scene in boxing. Two-Tony Galento was a contender? Pretty pathetic.:yikes
Arreola has a better chin than Peter? Puff, puff, pass dude. :rasta For starters, Wlad wobbled Peter late with a left hook but Peter sustained a severe beating from the biggest punching HW, he ate right hands all night. Peter did get knocked down 3 times vs. McCline but Jameel is a huge guy with good power. Vitali wobbled him but didn't knock Peter down & VK landed a tremendous amount of leather in that fight. Enough leather to make Peter quit on his stool. Chris Arreola hasn't even come close to tasting the power he'd be hit with vs. any of the fighters that have troubled Peter. I also don't believe Arreola's power is in the same league as those guys either. If Witherspoon's jab made Chris say "oh ****" & if Walker can knock him down imagine what Samuel Peter would do to him, let alone one of the Klitschkos.
Ch-rist! All you guys saying ''Arreola KO's him, I never bought into the Peter hype anyway''. What irony. Arreola is simply a worse version of Peter, a raw, skill-less, flabby slugger, with crap technique, speed and conditioning. Peter has been in with much better opposition however, and is a proven.
Not sure who i would pick for this fight. Mark my words... Arreola is a fun fighter to watch, and is a good fighter, but once he hits the elite level will be nothing more then a scalp for one of the top top fighters.... But Peter, i could see Arreola actually beating due to his combination punching and i think he would have greater activity, he brings a lot of heart and i think hes the type that would go out on his shield before he loses... so id pick him to win i think.
The only thing is if Arreola can take Peter power. If he can take Peter power he can win if not well you know what. peter is no special but Arreola is not a boxer another slugger with a punch and he will get hit a lot to by Peter. So if he can take the shot like Mcline a guy that is hudge, he can ko Peter.
