    Has anyone said anything about the levels actually found in Povetkin's system outside of Povetkin's own team?

    yes this is what I was getting at,,,

    I guess it comes down to money as always, Chris still has a name for himself over a lot of other guys simply because he fought for a title already a couple of times. I guess that's what bothers me, this fight is a rip off for the fans imo.

    No I just think Arreola is going to take advantage of this opputunity. He will do well.

    what also speaks for Chris he is Mexican, and we all know how the WBC loves it's Mexican champions

    maybe they think 3 times the charm and Mexico will have it's first HW champion :think

    Ok I don't think Wilder is the best heavy at the moment, I think he could still get better but personally I rate AJ a bit higher at the moment. That's not even mentioning Fury, Ortiz, Parker and Vladdy.

    with that said I think Wilder with his height and speed will be able to score against Arreola and because Arreola has a good chin I could see Wilder pulverizing him over a few rounds before getting him out of there.

    maybe I am wrong.

    from late 2015 till now it has been mostly EE fighters. Bute who is from Romania, Povetkin. Fury, Browne and Vargas have also been caught.

    Fury?

    was it confirmed that Fury was caught?

    I thought that was still just 1 paper in the UK claiming that?

    It's both bad for boxing and not Wilder's fault.

    Arreola is Chicano. He's not from Mexico like Andy Ruiz is. He is of Mexican decent but he is an American.
