    Yep can't see it turning out any other way.

    Arreola fans seem to be grasping on to the hope that it was the broken nose that dropped his work rate. But the knock down which caused the broken nose happened just before the bell at the end of the third and Arreola was being comprehensively out boxed throughout the third. The commentator even says that Arreola had only thrown 19 punches just before being dropped. So his work rate dropped even before the broken nose. The fact is Stiverne was feeling Arreola out the first 2 rounds, once he got going he was in total control.

    Some people here are saying that Arreola would beat or KO Chisora. WTF? Chisora competed with Vitali Klitschko 12 rounds. Arreola stayed in his corner and started crying because he wasnt good enough. Took a really bad beating also. There is a huge difference in performance there.

    He's a Chisora with power basically.

    Difference was that Arreola was fighting a less on the slide, twohanded version of Vit while Chisora fought a onehanded version in what we now know was his 2nd last fight ever.
    It's like comparing Berbick and Shavers based on the Ali fight, and then coming up with the conclusion that Berbick would have whooped Shavers' ass.

    I think Arreola vs Chisora is about 50/50 at the moment.

    I think Arreola would KO Chisora. Id like to see Wilder vs Chisora
    then a Stiverne rematch after. Arreola prob has 8/10 punching power
    and a chin of 8 as well. He has heart and has battled hand problems as
    well as disipline issues. Chisoras performance against Vitali puzzled me, he got
    inside and didnt do anything. He admitted to this.

    He's fringe world class.

    I'd put him just behind Tony Thompson as Americas top heavyweight and at around the same level of Chisora. Decent, a good victory on anybodies resume but a good step behin the elite of the division such as Pulev, Wlad, Fury etc.

    Chisora has better head movement, is better on the inside, works the body better and cuts off the ring better. Chisora is a brawler like Arreola and is pretty crude himself but from a technical stand point he's clearly better than Arreola.

    Arreola looked truly awful against Vitali. He was utterly dominated and never looked competitive, losing every minute of every round. Vitali may have been older when he faced Chisora but he had not slipped that much having put on a clinic against Adamek a few months before. Chisora was effective on cutting the ring off against Vitali while Arreola looked completely befuddled with Vitali's movement, often out of position, unable to let his hands go because of this and forced to lunge in.

    I would favour Chisora, Think he would now give him all kind of problems.

    There's the little issue of Vitali being one-handed (he injured his left) in the Chisora fight you might be overlooking. :good

    You think he has a decent chance against all those heavies? Does that include the ones that have already beaten him?

    Elroy I can't take your posts seriously. You are either trolling or are very young and have a bias against any fighter not from the current era because you never saw the fighters from previous era's fight. The fact you think Mormeck would beat Liston is incomprehensible.

    Journeymen are legitimate

    Any Journeymen who gets the protege treatment can become a belt holder
