if you're carrying too much weight, you aren't in shape. How much more mobile would arreola be if he was around 220? No one gives a **** if he's ripped like a greek god, just that he comes in looking like he's a ****ing athlete.
There is NO way he's a better fighter carrying 20-30 pounds of sheer blubber around, than if he ate right and showed discipline. Of course he's still in better condition stamina wise than a large percentage of the general population, but he's hurting his chances of ever becoming the best fighter he could be. THIS is why people criticize him.
what you dont understand is that is a contradiction in terms hes a fat disgrace. hes supposed to be a professional athlete and all this **** about being fat but in shape is bollocks. you may be able to last it but you are nowhere near your ideal level of fitness. i guess according to your thinking thats why so many all time great fighters were lard asses and why so many track and field athletes or swimmers have in the words of david haye "the body fat ratio of a pork scratching" 15 years ago there was about 15/20 guys who would have handed arreola the big fat cry baby his fat ass back to him
What a ****ing joke. No one who isn't in shape goes 10 with Vitali. To think otherwise means your ******ed.
how come fat = in shape??:huh if he really wanted to be a champ he'd lose those fckin pounds... especially after the fight w/ klitcho.
He's only 28:-( he will have diabetes, and Heart disease by the time he's in his 40's, 263, is just ****ing fat, no ands if's and but's, he can whip all of the tomato cans in the division, as soon as he steps up the competition he's gonna get a Vitali style beatdown, then he can cry:| again...
that's right, i like him for that but when i realize how good he could be if he didn't eat that much i'm pretty miffed...
It's a cultural problem that goes way beyond him, but I don't think James Toney helped it any. Arreola thinks that sparring and hitting the bag is good enough to replace true conditioning. And he may be right against the Minto's of the world. But it's going cost him every time he takes a real step up in class. What these fat asses don't remember is that James Toney wouldn't have beaten Michael Nunn carrying a spare tire around. Holding up a former middleweight with a complete old school skillset as your excuse for not eating right is a joke.
Do you really think thi is about the way he "LOOKS"???atschatschatsch I see you are a boxing expert!!:----(
Why the **** are people on his jock about being fat...if he's ****in' fat then he's ****in' fat. As long as he's winning and slimming his body down...which he is. If you hadn't noticed, he truly IS making an effort to slim down. He already said he wants to be in the gym as soon as possible. Which means he doesn't wanna give himself enough time to blow up. He's also losing his titties and getting a bit stronger. He looked in much better shape than the Vitali fight. Everyone just needs to calm the **** down and just watch his body slim down to a HW physique. I'm willing to bet he's gonna weigh even more in the next fight, but look better than the Minto fight.
