I like him and hope he defeats Vitali. I however seriously doubt that he is capable of doing that. But at least he will bring it to Vitali and make it a fight. I think it will be entertaining bout, as long as it last
Yeah. I’m certain that he would destroy other all timers as well. I doubt Tyson and Lewis could beat him even in handicap match.
I don't think he's completely hype, he seems pretty decent. His lack of top guys on his resume is telling though. Plus his inability to stay in good shape is pretty disgraceful for somebody aiming to be the BEST in the world. I'd say his best chance is Vitali's age finally catching up to him.
The more I think about it, the more I agree with the posters that said Arreola has to come out like a wild bull and shoot his load early in the fight. Either he takes out Vitali in the first three rounds or he's doomed and will die a slow death. I doubt he can connect much if he comes out swinging wildly early on but I guess that will be his only chance.
Tye fields = Hype, Audley Harrison = Hype. There is a difference between bein Hype and being hyped. Arreola has been hyped because folk like an exciting heavy weight and he is that. He is challenging for the WBC title against someone viewed as a future hof entrant in his 28th fight. He fought Witherspoon in an unbeaten heavy, then a name McCline, it would have been good to have seen him fight say a Rahman or Brewster to gauge him properly but he deserves respect for bypassing that sort of fight and going after the best.
Arreola doesn't have a hope in hell. He is entertaining to watch but so was Butterbean. He's crude, untested and is in woeful physical condition, no wonder heavyweight boxing is in such a bad state, I'm in better physical condition than Arreola right now.
