    the only reason he continues to win is because he is fighting in the worst division in the history of our sport and even than he has only beaten journeymen level guys. No one can deny how shallow the division is as evidenced by Peter, Valuev, Chagiev, and an ancient Maskiev winning titles.

    He was 250 half a year ago... he is over 260 now. It is definitely a work in progress, and I see him being the next Butterbean in a couple of years.

    Tua took the same deadly right from lennox lewis that knocked mike tyson out OVER and OVER for the course of 12 rounds and was never buzzed. I think "09" version of tua takes arreola's punches rather easily

    Tua did NOT get hit nearly as much or hard as Tyson did becuase he didn't take as many chances with Lewis who himself was content to get a boring UD, I don't like CA either but I'm not gonna overhype Tua either.

    Areola wouldnt hit him in the ass.
    He doesnt impress.
    He is slow and is basically a punching bag.
    Minto was too small.

    Nah, you can't judge a fighter based on a return-from-KO performance. The Klitschkos physically beat you up, if anything, returning in 70 days vs. a ranked, tough contender like Minto deserves respect. For this one time, the weight is excusable. Look at the performances post-Klitschko:

    Juan Carlos Gomez - hasn't returned yet
    Ruslan Chagaev - hasn't returned yet
    Sam Peter - lost to Chambers in horrible performance
    Hasim Rahman - hasn't returned yet (retired?)
    Tony Thompson - out for 9 months
    Sultan Ibragimov - retired
    Lamon Brewster - looks **** ever since
    Ray Austin - out for 18 months
    Calvin Brock - retired in a year
    Chris Byrd - got stretched by a LHW
