No, but Haye as a proven unified champion at CW does give him more entitlement than Arreola. Haye's best win at HW is better than Arreola's too.
Haye, without a doubt. 10 rounds against Vitali is the most amount of Rounds he has ever been. Haye has been 12 rounds and his 9 and 8 round fights with Fragomeni and the Dannish geezer were fought a much higher pace than Arreolas fight with Vitali. Infact that fight was slow and boring. The only place Arreola takes Haye is chin, and Arreolas is not fantastic. I guarentee Arreolas body fat percentage was in the top 10 ever for a world title fight when he faced vitali.
So did Pacquiao deserve a shot at Cotto, did Mayweather deserve a shot at Baldomir, did Taylor deserve his place in the super 6???
its quite clear Booth said if he wins a couple of fights agaisnt decent opponents Haye would fight him. so thats what arreola needs to go. lets see him in with Chagaev, win over him would get him in the WBA mandatory spot. does anyone thing Arreola would have beat Valuev???
What point are you making? You seem to agree with my point, but sound like you disagree. Pacquaio held the lineal title at LWW, Mayweather was an established titlist and had beaten a series of contenders at WW, including the former champ in Judah, and Taylor had fought for a world title at SMW, losing by KO in a fight he was clearly winning till that point. Proven, established world class fighters should be able to challenge for titles in other divisions. They shouldn't have to start again from scratch. Arreola had beaten Travis Walker and Jameel McCline, neither of whom was a world-beater by any description. He was lucky to get his shot at Vitali and he blew it. Until he shows himself capable of turning up in shape and actually prepared for a fight, he doesn't deserve another shot. it's not like he was even competitive with Vitali.
It's true. Fat heavyweights are an insult to the sport and all it's rich history. Guys like Butterbean are one off's and can be excused but Arreola, Johnson and Chambers have been fighting or will be fighting for real titles for **** sake!
sorry ben...thats wrong mate...there's been decent heavyweights with weight on them all down the years... if you made arreola lose weight he would be nowhere near as effective.
