wlad's ko record speaks for itself, 45kos in 51 wins, against some durable men. he has long-standing proven power at hw. If Arreola somehow KTFO Iggy, id say he is a big puncher but he must starch more than 1 good opponent to get to Wlad's level even if the 'slapper' couldn't get iggy out himself. but yes it would be very impressive if he could do it. i doubt it though. sultan has taken very big punches from Briggs and Wlad. Austin seems like more of an aberration at this pt.
IGGY is someone who has been around a while and hasn't impressed me...Arreola has taken less time to not impress me. However his Goossen-Tutor connection, has him serving as one of James Toney's sparring partners...that's the best on the job training in boxing. If boxing is a martial art, then James Toney is the Grand Master...and Arreola is getting private lessons.
If this is the biggest fight Arreola can get then why not? If it's an eliminator yes, the fight with Tua would've been interesting too.
Again, anyone know what Tua was offered by Goossen? How much is Warrior offering Iggy? Arreola? Ballpark figures?
