    You are correct ,but as I have said I dont consider him a very big puncher.

    If he went on the aggressive I think he could, because he had great uppercuts, a solid hook and one of the hardest right hands in HW boxing history. You have to remember the way he ocassionally stepped up and blasted guys out of there, like Michael Grant or Andrew Golota. Thanks for agreeing with my point though. :D

    Ahem, if the above fighters are 38 years old, Arreola is going to defeat Bowe, Holyfield, and Tyson!

    Foreman vs Arreola would be very interesting. I think Lewis would have enough to defeat Arreola at age 38, but we can;t say for sure since Lewis last ring appearance was age 37.

    willcross Lennox Lewis does have a glass chin and is highly overrated. His best wins came against a washed up Tyson and Holyfield but either way he still would knock out that fat mexican Chris Arreola quicker than the even more overrated Vitali Klitschko.

    Yeah, glass jaw alright, despite taking the best from a prime Vitali Klitschko, David Tua, a Mike Tyson who could still bang, Ruddock, Briggs, Bruno amongst others. He's not over-rated, he cleared out one of the strongest era's ever, and he has the size, mobility, durability and power to beat the best H2H.

    There's little chance he would beat a 38 year old Holyfield, I'm not even sure if he would beat Holyfield now (slight exaggeration).

    Holyfield at the time struggled with Lewis, Ruiz and Rahman but I think all of them are better then Arreola.

    Lennox Lewis is strongly considering a rematch with Klitschko. Lets see what happens.

    Yes.

    Likewise, Vitali has been plagued by recurring injuries and was out of boxing for several years until just recently. That's usually enough to end any fighter's prime, but most especially if he's already in his 30s at the time.

    Why shouldn't he get credit for doing something that other fighters either can't do or find it an extreme hardship to do?

    What? This has been squandered late 2007. How can he at this point anyway? He has been inactive and getting fat for 5+ years and is 44 years old. Strongly considering - what new source says this?

    This has got to be a joke.
    Arreola was a human punching bag for Vitali.
    He is barely a B clas fighter and wasnt worthy of a title shot.
    Good marketing can make people believe dog**** is icecream.
    Arreola doesnt impress.
