yes of course i know who Tony "The Tiger" Thompson is. Bald, colored got beard on the chin. He just won against Maurice Harris. Just think he got to much body fat (my opinion). Chambers is just a disgrace. To small for HW.
I congratulate Arreola. While what he´s doing isn´t that unusual, as people have pointed out, fighting often ensures first and foremost that he´s cutting his weight, which most (including me) have perceived to be his number one problem. It is important for him. If by cutting weight, Arreola can improve his speed, accuracy, conditioning and maintain his power, he will be pretty dangerous. Arreola is not as crude as some perceive him to be. Unlike most heavyweights these days, Arreola can and does put punches together, despite the lack of a great technique. I think if Arreola can improve his defence a bit and make better decisions in the ring (i.e., improve his ring IQ and not just go helter skelter on his opponents) as a result of this experience, he can make some noise again. Arreola badly needs a top notch trainer.
the man has heart when he's in the ring. no debating that. but i think he's currently kinda like margarito and mayorga. he really needs another slugger in there with him. slick boxers or punchers that move(vitali) will continue to give him fits
active is key.:good would u rather have a guy entertain you everytime shape or not in shape and that is great for boxing (chris) or a loud mouth coward talk his way into a fight and in tip top shape and run like a girl all night? (Haye) Your a hater plain and simple.
Sure, but on the other hand his best win is still against a faded McCline. In a very real sense, Arreola is still unproven as a top 10 HW.
I think walker was his best win. He's a tough cookie. still he has better wins than guys like del boy and boystov. Pov beat a fat eddie etc..
This aproach for Arreola has been planned out several months ago. Even before Wlad started training for the Haye fight, they (Tean Klitschko) wanted Arreola for a fight in the States at the end of the year. So Arreola's team put together this plan for him to stay active while keeping most of the excess weight off. Thus he could enter a training camp for Wlad at a much lower weight than would have been the case if left to his vices while not fighting.
