    Am I the only one here who would favor Grant over Arreola? I think Grants underated, and I think he could win a UD over Arreola.

    As out of shape as he is, even at 235, (which I believe he has stopped dropping) Arreola is a never quit, keep coming forward, volume puncher.

    That would pose serious problems for Grant because he will always have those fear issues IMO. But he has a way deeper offensive arsenal than Arreola and more power by a long shot. He could hurt CA and outclass him as Adamek did, or even TKO him if he gets caught early enough.

    I'd take Arreola for the money, but I'd be pulling for Grant simply because he has the better shot of beating a Klitschko, however long it is.

    Are you gonna make me rewatch the fight.....?

    I remember Adamek being hurt 3X. 3rd, 6th, and 10th maybe. Each of those times, Grant failed to go in for the kill. Why? Cause he feared being starched himself IMO.

    Now, I think he's ready to charge fullsteam at anyone he faces. He's 37, in the best shape of his post Lewis career, and still has those heavy hands. Time is running out, and he thinks he might get one last shot.

    I think the winner of this is as good a contnder for Wlad as any. Both have the punch, Arreola the youth and Grant the size to make it credible. Both are back to winning after losses to Adamek.

    And who the hell doesn't want to see two big punchers go at it?

    I saw two instances, but he wasn't as hurt as all that. Some morons were claiming that he was out on his feet and the like. He got caught with a couple of good punches and wobbled a bit, then regained himself and finsihed out the round defensively.

    My sources tell me that Arreola is in hiding and is drinking a case of Corona's a day to deal with the fear.

    Then again he has always knocked down a case a day since his teen years!!!

    Firstly, no rematch is necessary. Second, the 'rematch' would be a repeat of the 1st fight, and if anything Adamek would dominate even more.

    Arreola should fight Grant, winner advance.

    He couldn't beat Adamek, period. Let alone beat him decisively.

    Arreloa is a fight Grant could win. Arreloa is so easy to hit, and Grant has a good right hand and immense size.

    I disagree, Grant can box and Arreola has trouble with movement his feet are too flat and when he throws that right hand he throws it long and leaves it out there he doesnt bring it right back.

    Grant did much much much better IMO against Adamek than did Arreola....
    Make this fight happen I think if Grant can stay on the outside and use his jab and that long right hand we may have an upset here...

    The only thing that we need to watch for is that chin of grant which has failed him against Lewis and against Guinn, sure you can argue McClein but the ankel ended up broken who knows if he were able to repeat what he did with Golota with out that ankel going out....

    Make this fight if anything it will be fun to watch....
