It's important when it comes with Arreola's weight to consider...

You are saying that Arreola's laziness should be excused because it's a consistent pattern of laziness?

I say he should find a different job and quit wasting everyone's time pretending to be a top level fighter.

 

:good

no excuse being out of shape at this level.

 

Arreola is that fat because he doesn't train hard enough, and won most of his fights with his brute strength and power. The guy is a poor man's Sam Peter in almost every way, he's going to get harpooned by Vitali.

 

In order for him to have a puncher's chance he needs to come in the best shape of his career. He should weigh no more than 240 IMO. This is a super fight for Chris and great opportunity for him he can become the first Mexican HW champ. And it would be a crying shame if he never even had a chance because he didn't come in shape and the fight was already lost on the scales.

 

I agree and the only advantage coming into the fight if you can call it an advantage for Arreola is his aggression, but if hes not in great shape this is gonna be one hell of a long "nightmare" for Arreola

 

He'd still look pretty flabby at 240lb, but that's a reasonable weight for him, though it may not be his optimum weight. 250+ is FAR from optimum.

"It's like Vitali and Wlad." That's nonsense (and likely just a bait statement). They come in at an optimum weight. Because of his fluctuations, lack of discipline and pretty weak oposition, Arreola has no idea what his optimum weight is. But it ain't 250.

 

He'll be at the 250 range come fight nite.

 

Agreed.

 

If dude is flabby that's his bizness IMO, But did/does he have the stamina & put in the work?
(That's what most take away from his soft exterior)

 

Your point is that being a fat lazy waster is a part of his essential make-up, so we shouldn't even discuss how much better he could be if he got off his arse and dedicated himself?

 

theres fat and there 250+
