    I was impressed last time out against Chazz Witherspoon.

    Fighting soon isn't he? Bein' too lazy to find out sorry (gotta do some work!)

    Can't see him being champ though.

    He's so limited, if he learns to fight in the middle of the ring than he has a good chance to win a belt. He's only effective if he corners his opponent against the ropes and against quality opposition they'll stay away from them.

    Wlad will spear him with that jab and follow up with bombs that will either hurt him continously or finish him. Arreola isn't the next big thing.

    He has the potential to pick up a strap but nothing more.

    Oh hell no. He's a glorified clubfighter.

    Doesn't have the skills to compete with the best HWs at the moment. No body movement, no defense, lacks speed and punch finesse, very unorthodox and awkward... Heavyweight Boxing would have to reach a whole time low to have such a Champion.

    Arreola, just like Haye, have to take a seroius test first before their potential can be measured at wc level. Ibragimov vs. Arreola sounds like an intriguing match up.

    I don't think so. He would have to improve too many things (speed, movement, defense) to be undisputed. May win a belt but don't hold your breath. I like the guy though. He wants to fight.

    The Hayemaker would absolutely brutalise him.

    it is true in the heavyweight scene at the moment no way he has no chance, there is quality boxers, chagev, sultan, klitchko ect they have too much skill for him

    I don't know if we'll ever get an undisputed champ again, not unless both the networks and promoters really try to move heaven & earth to get it done...

    I doubt that highly. Arreola has as much finesse as a caveman. But the kid has a decent chin and CAN punch. Haye would have his work cut out as soon as Arreola starts to land. Until Haye learns to keep his hands up i wont ever be an absolute believer in his talent.
