    Who do you have winning a fight between Holyfield and Arreola? I think that if Holyfield could last the first few rounds, Arreola will get tired and Holyfield will knock him out.

    I see it the otherway around . . . Holy will get tired from the middle rounds on and will get KTFO.

    If you are saying Arreola will be tiring out first than the 46 yrs old Holy :D
    . . . think again.

    There is no way of knowing where Holyfield's punch resistance is at today. While he got a lot of sentimental credit for his performance against Valuev, people forget that in the later rounds, Valuev had him on the ropes and in trouble twice. I know this in in contradiction to all the memories of that fight that center around "Holyfield got robbed", but it did happen. Holyfield has not faced a big puncher in a long time and he certainly would have to take punches from Arreola. He doesn't have the reflexes he used to have and his style was never focused on avoiding punches. I think this could be a tragic fight, like Tyson - McBride.

    The sad thing is that this thread even exists...in 2009! The heavy weight div is a disgrace.

    The more Ithink abotu this the more crazy it is....when were Holyfields last fights that meant anything....last fxx decade. The weird/sad thing is he would prob roll Chris... one of the top USa h'weights of today.

    They did say that Arreola will next be fighting a former world champion, so who knows?

    I think Arreola is too young and mean. I see him stopping Holyfield in the 4th round.
