    Minto would do what he always does. Putting opponents to sleep!

    Chris Arreola's chin is relatively untested - plus he gets tired quickly - but the boy can punch like a mule.

    Minto has at least fought some decent guys, Areola has yet to step up, you can say Witherspoon, but he was pretty untested as well, Minto at least hung tough with a former title challenger. They both seem to be improving so it would be a great fight, I'd give a slight edge to Minto at this point.

    Jesus jumped up Christ, do any of you people actually watch boxing or do you just catch highlights on youtube and check boxrec for a guy's KO percentage?

    Arreola has VERY LITTLE POWER FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT. He's a weak puncher that knocks out absolute bottom feeders with volume. ****, when he gets going half of his punches are weak pushes that would make Calzaghe flush with embarrasement.

    The guy is sloppy as hell and simply the product of toughness and superb matchmaking and marketing by his promoters.

    Minto's a lower level gatekeeper and he would beat Arreola easy.

    I think you and Pavlik have something in common: a mule kicks.
    No offense.

    If these two are the US's top heavyweight prospects, we are HURTING.

    Good GOD. These are both C level fighters, at best.

    Someone on the level of a Tua, Barrett, TOS, or even McCline would beat the HELL out of either one of these two poor propects. And I hesitate to call them prospects.

    :good

    Minto is an ultra dangerous fighter who when on his A game is as good as anyone.
