    Who does Arreola most remind you of?

    Donavon "Razor" Ruddock Good skills and good puncher but will never win the championship.

    James "Buster Douglas" Will win a championship but will not be able to defend the title or regain it.

    Oliver Mc Call- Someone with a good chin, punch and skill will win the title twice and maybe defend it once.

    Or someone else?
    Who?

    Andrew Golota. Good boxer, has problems with his head.

    I think he would have lost to all mentioned, perhaps most like Ruddock though, the other two had some traits which really stood out.
    Buster was actually a great athlete that never reached his potential (apart from the Tyson one off) and McCall went as far as he did thanks to that concrete chin.

    Arreola is a typical heavyweight in every sense, nothing outstanding in the slightest but solid none the less.

    That's an insult to Golota. Golota was a much much better boxer than Arreola.

    I didnt say that he has Golota's skills. Golota even with his head problems would be a champion in today's division. I only stated that Arreola reminds me Golota, that means that he could achieve more if he had a "normal" psyche.

    Both are mentally weak, but in different areas. Golota couldnt cope with the pressure when he had a big fight. Arreola cant cope with being a professional and having a lot of self-sacrifices.
