    Does McCline have the stamina either though? He usually gasses out after about 5 rounds.

    He should be at about 227-228 pounds on the scale and entire the ring around 230. Its his lack of commitment, and his lack of boxing ability that will make him lose and lose sooner then later.

    Itll be interesting to see how he does against McCline in rounds 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

    Its not a given that Arreola beats McCline

    I think alot of guys around the heavyweight top ten could beat him, fighters like chagaev,povetkin,ibragimov(though now retired i think) would easily outwork him and guys like eddie chambers would have a shot as well.

    I don't see him stopping McCline, McCline can generally take a good punch, the last person to stop McCline was Wladimir Klitschko and Arreola is no Wladimir.

    McCline's stamina is **** though... so if both guys fatigue by the end of the fight we could be in for another heavyweight dissapointment. :-(

    A healthy McCline can bang with the best. Arreola needs to up his game here.

    Probably at the top level, but Jameel McCline isn't the top level, not even close.

    Exactly. If a fighter such as Arreola doesn't take his conditioning seriously, why should his fans take Arreola as a serious contender?

    Of course his "conditioning" will catch up with him.

    He's a fat slob. A tough, fat slob - but a fat slob nonetheless.

    I don't care what anyone thinks about him being well conditioned, even if he has 30lbs extra on him (at least).. no reason to carry an extra 30lbs around on him. It doesn't make him tougher, or faster, or stronger, or have a better chin.. it just makes him get tired quicker than he would if he was in shape.

    I think he will train for McCline fight.
