    Arreola is the truth. Vitali Klitschko best be well prepared for this fight and not overlook him like most fans do.

    People give Arreola all sorts shite just because he was rocked early by both Walker and Mccline. But those were bombs that he took.

    Arreola can be knocked down but he also can take some good shots. Arreola is better than he looks physique wise.

    We will see which way the cat jumps when Arreola shares the ring with a top 15 fighter.

    My guess is that he will jump back into the nowwhere from where he came.

    Possibly, but HBO has a lot of hype going on for him, and he has a very good marketable personality and fighting style. I think his promotor and HBO will play it safe and find top fighters with bad chins. Hasim Rahman would be an ideal fight for Arreola to take next.

    Arreola seems like he is serious about the upcoming Vitali fight since he hired a S@C coach. I wish him the best luck America needs a Heavyweight Champion.

    Arreola is the future of the American heavyweight division. Vitali will knock him out though.

    Nah, he is overrated and will be found wanting at the top level.

    Haye refused to fight a top ten heavyweight.

    Haye did not qualify, Vlad had to work to get a championship fight, but Haye believes the world owes him a living.

    Wow, you're on a roll tonight :patsch

    If I had 1/100 of the willpower of one of these guys (Haye, Wlad, etc.), I'd be 20lb lighter, successful career man, you name it.

    Easy to sit back from the lazy-boy and critisize these guys but damn - I think you need more respect - not just you but you've posted a few gems tonight!
