    How does this match go and who likely comes out on top. Both at their best?

    Could go either way, Arreola could be quite dangerous early on, had a knack for finding the chins of B-Level guys early, consistently.

    Another vote for Arreola. With the caveat that I haven't seen much Buddy Baer and it was a long time ago.

    Either way, this is the 150th best heavyweight in history against the 151st. Who cares?

    Neither of these guys was world beaters, but I think that Baer was still a bit too much for Areola.

    I also think that Baer could have shown us more than he did, if not for the war.

    I think he'd be an Areola beater


    And maybe just maybe a Riddick Bowe beater........
