greatest American heavyweight prospect since Floyd Patterson. excellent speed, stamina, heart, strength, will and skill.
I can not belive at. I think that Arreola is a B-level fighter. I would pick even someone like Austin over him....
Wow! Arreola top 10? Krasniqi, Thompson, Brewster, and Brock all deserve to be there over him. Even Povetkin deserves to be top 10 more than Arreola.
You and me both. I really, truly believe he's been put there to set up a future #1 v #2, or #1 v #3 fight, so the Ring can have a HW champ again.
Sorry, Arreola may be promising, but IMO he is (like Povetkin) far away from the Top 10 until he beats bigger names. I think Toney and Briggs still belong up there with the Krasniqi-Thompson winner.
If Tann sucks some much then how come Dimitrenko is fighting him is his 26th pro fight AFTER Arreola already dominated him???
I've only seen him fight once, against Wills, he looked decent but not top 10 class in that fight. There are better fighters out there who are not in the top 10, Povetkin being the obvious example.
I am convinced The Ring's staff is ignorant and/or just choses the different networks' flavor of the month. These guys are jokes. Brock, Krasniqi, Thompson, Ruiz and even Povetkin deserve a higher ranking. As far as Dimitrenko fighting Tann, I am convinced Dimitrenko isn't world class and will end up being Euro level talent. Anyway what am I saying, Chagaev beats more guys in the top ten in the last year than anyone else but The Ring still decides to rate him number four, forget The Ring and its joke rankings, at least the ABC's make a fighter face off against their number one contender who is probably as deserving as The Ring's number one.
The Americans realise what is happening for a change, but within 12 months they will genuinely believe Arreola is top 10 material.
