    I am going for Frank Bruno cause he kept in shape and was not a fat slob - Bruno was a minor face in a strong HW divison while Arreola is a condender in a weak divison.

    bruno may have a stamina problem but his jab would be a ramrod in the face of arreola and very possibly a punch arreola could not get passed coupled with bruno's heavy right hand i think this combonation will keep arreola at distance and bust up arreola's face,for bruno to win by a stoppage at some some point after the 8th ,it may even be a corner retirement

    Damn tough call. I haven't voted so i guess it's 50/50. Bruno had awesome power, i believe he had the punch to stop Arreola if the circumstance presented itself. Especially with Arreola's walk straight a head toe to toe fighting style, he could be a easy target for Bruno.
    On the other hand, Bruno had problems with tough pressure fighters, with high workrates. Frank also had the weakness of a slightly suspect chin, and some stamina issues, as his fights went on .
    I'm really not sure on this matchup, it could go either way....

    Who on earth would make a dream match involving chris arreola?
    The only thing he should be associated to boxing with is a george foreman grill, and he should definitely learn to ****ing use it.

    Then again bruno could "knock the fat out"

    Bruno, No doubt in my mind at all. He was a massive puncher, not to say that Arreola cant punch but I think Bruno was better all round and would get rid of Arreola within 9 rounds

    Easy night for Bruno after the three or four rounds.

    Bruno by stoppage and it's not that much of a debate.

    Easy, Easy fight for Bruno. Would Jab Arreola's face off and force him to quit on his stool.

    Showtime broadcast the Arreola/Malcom Tann fight from 2007 a couple of days ago. Chris was 235 pounds for that one and looked like a different guy. I'd give that version a better chance of beating Bruno than the version who got beat up by VK.

    Bruno was a big hitter but had no punch resistance whatsoever. Starting throwing like a ten year old in a playground once he got hit. Much as id like to say frank have to go with arreola

    Arreola would stiffen Bruno's legs by round 6.
