    No, he's not good enough, nor is he as good as people make him out to be.

    Areolla is just an exciting contender and I don't believe he can beat Vitali.

    But I have no problem if he should beat Vit . . . if that happens I want him to fight Haye.

    Most likely not, Vitali would be too skilled for the one dimensional Arreola.

    Not a chance. Vitali will batter him and stop him inside 4 rounds.

    That fight won't happen unless Arreola ever becomes a mandatory challenger to Haye. Arreola is too big a risk for Haye. Arreola is a 70 lbs heavier and 5 inches taller version of Fragomeni.

    Should he win, Haye will stay busy defending his WBA belt in England against guys like Ruiz, Maskaev or a washed up Holyfield or whomever else Don King sends there.

    You US -people (America is more than the US, in case you haven't noticed) have to get off this trip that the US is the center of the universe. Geroge Bush showed what happens when that mindset is taken to extremes. And the Klitschkos are not the problem of the HW division, in the glorious 90's Bowe and Lewis didn't fight when they were the best...the problem of the HW division are fat guys who don't live and train as professional athletes and try to get by on raw talent.

    The Klits always show up in shape, even when Vitali was retired for four years, he was probably in better shape than Arreola, Peter and many other active fighter 9 - 10 months of the year.

    :lol:

    Part of Hayes problems with Fragomeni were that he was shorter and Haye does not like punching down. So being 5" taller automatically stops a fighter from being any "version of Fragomeni". It changes the fight dynamic straight away.

    And Fragomeni had never been dropped when he fought Haye and his chin is very very solid. In contrast Arreloa got floored heavily by a total no mark.

    Arreola clearly hits FAR FAR harder than Fragomeni but fights nothing like him.
    So the only thing the two have in common is their flabby guts.

    Yea right let me get this straight. Suddenly Fragomeni was some top opposition right, not some average 5"11 guy from the Italian countryside?

    I love the excuses of the Haye supporters. It simply can't be that Haye simply looked bad against an average guy with no specific talent. Even the WORST Klit nuthugger wouldn't claim that Sanders or Purrity were world class. Wlad simply got exposed by 3rd rate fighters, plain and simple.

    Fragomeni wobbled Haye not once but like a dozen times. Arreola would knock Haye out of the ring with a simple combination.

    One third calls fighter Purity, the other two were good second class fighters.....

    Fragomeni is not great now. I never claimed he was, I simply pointed out why your comparison with Arreloa was totally flawed and of no relevance.
    Fragomeni is European Level and that's it.

    Haye didn't like the relentless pressure that Fragomeni applied that's all. Arreola would do exactly the same, like a tank he would lurch after Haye without allowing him to ever slowly load up for his huge hands from way back. The comparison is very valid, this has nothing to do with Haye preferring to fight taller guys, he usually faced guys his height or shorter at CW.

    Some interesting points. I think we've all agreed that Arreola won't win but at least he's going to give it a go:good.
