Whats Next for Chris Arreola?

Superseding my "whats next for Pwilly thread" I am interested what you guys think is next for Arreola. here was my analysis of him in the fight from another thread::

The Good:

Arreola took a knee at the right time, this showed ring intelligence. His power was there in abundance. Post fight he said that he needs to train more seriously and his will increase his roadwork and come back in better shape. he was patient in round one when walker was throwing 100 punches, hw's cannot sustain that kinda work rate. The guys is hilarious in his post fight interviews!

The Bad:

His defense was real sloppy tonight. His handspeed was terrible, I havent seen him this slow before..likely the weight. Guys with a good fast jab, fast hands and that can move will beat him and likely beat him badly. I see a guy like fast eddie chambers defeating him, even though chambers has no lateral movement.




So who do you match this guy against? Unlike Paul Williams I think a lot of heavies will take a peice of Arreola.

 

In my opinion you put him in with dimentrenko to make him the mandatory for the IBF belt. Thats assuming Povetkin gets the next fight with Wlad as a mandatory.

 

Thats where I am coming from. I would match him against dimentrenko who can punch but his overall boxing ability isnt spectacular. I would see Arreola knocking him out

Gomez should have a locked deal on the wbc.

 

Ready or not, if he wins his next fight it should put him in the mandatory spot in at least one organization. That could mean later next year for a shot at one of the klits.

This guy is no felix sturm. If their fight with a klit is there, I see Arreola's team taking it.

 

As hard as this is to say, If JT gets by Thompson I'd favor JT to outbox Arreola and do it pretty handily.

I dont see JT having any touble with Arreola..imagine those slow punches Arreola throws and jt's quick counters busting his ugly nog all fight long.
