    The first decent fighter to face Arreola is mooted to be the experienced Maskaev.

    I believe the Russian can take out the Pillsbury Doughboy some time round about the 8th, provided he's still got enough left in the tank.

    IMO Arreola is just a strong, crude slugger, who's gonna get found out at 'world' level.

    I think the biggest thing that its dependent on is how healthy is Maskaev's back. He hurt it before the Peter fight and really didn't have much time to recover, so he fougth with a bad back in that fight and discs don't really heal that well (personally experienced). This may limit his ability to train right as we seen in the peter fight he came in out of shape for the first time in his life and had a gut. If this is the case, I think he'll give Arreola a good fight do to his boxing ability and experience, but lose do to the lack of training and conditioning. If his back is healed, then I expect him to KO Arreola.

    Maskaev can knock Arreola out, no doubt. But I don't know, he's old now and his chin is fragile.. If he's in shape I give him a shot, but for the moment I favor Arreola.

    Oleg Masakev is 40 years old. Even in his prime he was a notch or two below the top guys in is era. Hypothetically, the young rising star should destroy him; no, scratch that...the young rising star should have faced this caliber (age wise) of opponent much earlier in his career and destroyed him.
    Unfortunately, Chris Arreola is completely suckish. The fact that we even have to wonder if he would win at this stage is really a statement on the sad shape of the modern heavyweight contender.
    I should hope that Stay Puft wins by knockout

    Arreola will decapitate Maskaev at this point.

    Another crude brawler named Sam Peter caught up to Maskaev and KO'd him. I expect Arreola to do the same.

    Arreola will win by devastating knockout, it will be done in a very fast fashion within 3 rounds. I would bet 1000 dollars that Arreola wins this fight with ease, Maskaev is made to order for Arreola.

    putting Arreola and the word "fast" in the same sentence is a crime. Still, he can knock this 137 year old guy out. but that does not prove anything. he still is a slow fatass.

    No, I think Arreola will take out Maskaev out in a fast shootout just like the Travis Walker fight.

    No one knows where the wind blows. I picked Maskaev over Peter so think...
