Chris Arreola is 20-0 with 18 ko's but hasn't fought anyone of any real note. Yet Ring magazine already has him in their top 10 rankings , one thing that can be said about him is that he's tough and has a crowd pleasing style. Do you guys think that he can help save Boxing in america? or at least help bring it back to the level of the early 90's when popular American Heavys like Evander holyfield ,Riddick Bowe , Mike Tyson and even Tommy morrison were fight?
The division is filled with mediocrities.Arreola can join the mix, and with improvement, move to the top.We can only wait and see how he does.He works hard, and fights tough.Lets see if he can take a shot.If so, he's a player.
It's a joke that he's in the Ring top 10 - that's more of a reflection on the fact that some of the up-and-coming European heavies haven't gotten any exposure in the US yet. I could see top 20, and I do think he's the best of the US HW prospects, but he hasn't even beaten any decent journeymen yet - hold off on the parade until he faces someone with more experience, instead of just beating up other prospects.
Well, to be fair Sam Peter was also ranked in the Ring Top10 without beating anyone a priori. This is a similar case.
