    So guys... opinions?

    Is Chris the next big thing in the division when the Klits retire or is he a fat slugger who's power has dominated tin cans?

    There are a lot of split opinions on this guy what's yours?

    It doesn't matter if he was in the shape of his life for Vitali. He still would have gotten a massive beatdown.

    Sorry, Arreola would be damn lucky if he gets a belt, let alone be the future.

    edit: Alright, first, Arreola's weight is always a detractor. He may be able to fight with it, but it keeps him from reaching his full potential. Second, the person with a belt he has a very good chance of beating is Valuve, but he won't get the chance to get it. And last, Arreola is not up to dethroning the "two-headed dragon". He wouldn't be able to overcome Wlad's jab and Vitali.... you know the rest there. I like Arreola, but the K bros will be dominating the Heavyweight division with an Iron fist for the time being.

    For me he has limited offensive skills, no defence, not a great chin and is as slow as a 3 legged dog in quick sand.

    Just curious as to other peoples opinions as some on this site seem to rate him quite highly

    In the current condition of this weak ass division, all he has to do is wait for the right piece of **** to get a belt and then take it. And then dodge legit contender's and beat up some tomato cans to keep his name in the debates of who's the best. Come on you really think he can't get a belt???? Look at the past 20 titleholders! Valuev??Ibragimov?? Chagaev???? Hopefully Haye can live up to the hype so we don't have to be tortured by this lame ass division any longer!

    The only belt Valuev has is holding up his trousers, Haye took the other one.

    I like Arreola, he could be a contender.

    That guy should be ashamed getting in the ring in that shape and asking people to pay.

    A guy who isn't even disciplined enough to get into decent shape will NEVER rule ANY division in Boxing. Not in any meaningful sense. Could he win a belt? It's possible. He will never rule a division.

    Sorry to say, he is the future. If Ruiz can be a contender for as long as he has, so can Chris. That's your heavy division.

    Ruiz is hard to beat and durable. Arreola is as easy to hit as Ricky Hatton and has been dropped by Travis Walker. In my opinion the division would have to get worse than it is now (heaven forbid) for him to be the future of the division. To be honest i could see Adamek beating Arreola and Adamek hasn't impressed me at Heavy
