    ...he needs to look at changing his profession.
    McCline has ALWAYS lost the meaningful fights, and, approaching his 40th year, he ain't gonna get any better.
    That said, he has a decent defence, so may try to sap Arreola's strength and do him late on.
    Either way, I don't see either keeping the Klitschkos awake at night.

    I cant believe how Arreola always makes fun of himself after the fights about eating too many burritos and how he has to come in better shape, and then yesterday he weighs in at over 250 pounds.
    For some reason it makes me sick..

    Jameel "Decline" McCline will never be world champion, but neither will Chris "Taco Salad" Arreola... I still see McCline as the better and more capable fighter at this juncture.... McCline has experience against quality opposition, while Arreola has been feeding on bums and stiffs..... GO McCLINE!!

    Conditioning aside, Arreola is still underwhemling in his boxing. The guy looks very amateurish and very beateble for just about any top ten heavy.

    McCline, as limited as he is, will illustate just how overrated and underskilled Arreola is.

    10-4..... McCline is a good fighter; nothing great.... BUT! He is better than a slobbish looking Arreola...... McCline should school Arreola after, perhaps, a slightly rough start........... Arreola is tuff early on..... By round 5, its all McCline............:good

    Winky Wright is aging, but in great shape with experience............. Williams is young, and full of **** and vinegar..... This fight can go either way.......... However, I'll root for Wrightman.........:hey

    If he fed on Salads he wouldn't look like a wild boar.

    McCline's a tough test but Arreola needs to pass it.

    His weight is on the disgusting side and part of me hopes he loses because of it.

    Still, CA should win in a good fight.

    Arreola hasn't been more than 3 rounds in a couple years, never more than 8 rounds. McCline can give him a lot of rounds, stamina can become a major issue. That said, I don't think this will go more than 3 rounds anyway, as I see McCline dropping his fat ass for the count early.

    arreola will still win...i predict arreola gets off the canvas maybe a couple times and stopped a heavy breathing mccline

    It's absolutely true that if Arreola loses this, any chances of a belt are basically over. McCline could barely pull the trigger in his prime and doesn't have great power, so with Arreola relying on pressure, volume punching, and power, he's going to need to beat the McClines of the world and do it impressively. If he lets his diet get in the way, that's the sign of a guy who mentally isn't as dedicated to making to the top as he wants to think he is.

    I'm hoping for Arreola to win, purely to have a different person in the title mix rather than yet another recyled contender like McCline once again.

    But damn, Arreola looks like a blob. I have no faith in him to be any kind of heavyweight saviour. Just hopefully at least something a little different for a while than conveyor belt of McCline, Rahman, Ruiz, Maskaev et al.

    If Arreola loses to McCline his career will be on a downward spiral for a while just like Dominick Guinn.
