Can Arreola fill the heavyweight void?

there is no more heavyweight void.

Vitali, Wlad, Haye, Gomez, Povetkin, Dimitrenko.

What void?

 

Only thing arreola fills is his stomach. He has shown he doesnt have 100% dedication by the way this guy weighs in for his fights.

 

No, especially due to his lack of discipline.

 

very true. even valuev looks like a slim 300lbs. toney could get away with alot of things because of his high skill, but arreola is no toney. if he can keep his weight at 230-235 and work on his defense, he's a threat to anyone. i think he did superb vs. witherspoon, would of liked to see arreola fight povetkin or ibragimov before taking on wladimir.

 

Not as fast as he can fill the void in his stomach it seems.

 

That goes triple for Skulli doesn't it?

 

Nei.

I've been speaking to insiders. All his fans are worried about inactivity.

However, he is doing something like the opposite of David Haye recently. He's taking an enforced absence to lose weight.

 

Fat boy might get derailed tonight.

 

At this point in his career he should fight bums even if he is fat,he will lose it in time,but he's got 1 damn fight and he ain't fighting;it's not like he should fight Wlad next,plenty of bums and journeyman for the first 10 fights or so to fight.He should just fight.

 

No I gotta feeling he could get outboxed by Ibragimov and maybe Povetkin if he doesn't get any respect. Wlad would beat him at any point in the future at this rate. We'll see what happens.

 

He doesn't beat anyone in the top 5. IMO he doesn't beat Haye, Wlad, Vitali or Valuev. I wouldn't favor him over guys like Ruiz, Dimitrenko, Toney and Povs either.

 

If he was in shape he'd guarantee great fights. Out of shape he'll only ever be an underachiever.

 

Agreed. He has a big punch aka the ultimate equalizer....but with no conditioning, no stamina and no workrate in the latter rounds he'd be walking toast essentially.

 

He is fat enough for it...

 

I don't think so. But maybe. good luck to him.
