    Not that it matters too much because he'd still lose. But I think he might make Wlad a little more uncomfortable than he did Vitali. Agree or disagree?

    Yes, I agree. Significantly better chance, even if I wouldn't favor him.

    Arreola would get hit without hitting the opponent. It would look the same than the Vitali fight...

    Vitali is, and always has been a better boxer than his brother so I would say yes.

    It would be even worse. The Wlad jab is lethal. Not only is it accurate and powerful, but he basically uses it as a barrier that doesn't allow the opponent to ever get close enough (which is what an effective jab is supposed to do).

    Having your head snapped back over and over again pretty much takes all the fight out of you.

    He would give him more trouble Wlad doesnt like pressure, also Arreola would at least have a punchers chance. Since Wlads chin isnt to hot and Vitlai has a excellent chin.

    I don't see that. I mean, sure, maybe. I just don't see it. But the main thing is that his puncher's chance increases significantly with Wlad, and that he is a combination puncher which Chambers and the lot really aren't.

    Is that sarcasm or your sincere opinion? Because I have felt for a long time that Vitali is deceptively maybe better than his brother, even though his brother looks much smoother.

    Nowerdays I think Vitali WAS a more fearsome boxer. Nowerdays with Wladimir in his prime and Vitali getting a bit old I think Wladimir is the better overall boxer.

    **** talk about Freudian slip,

    My post should have read:

    Vitali is, and always has been a better boxer than his brother so I would say NO.

    My post didn't make sense otherwise!:lol:

    Oh, brother. What's funny is, I read it as though that's the way you worded it anyway. So, my question is the same. :lol:

    No. He's a gamer but Wlad's " a strong mother****er" too.

    Arreola type of pressure doesn't trouble Wlad, you have to HIT him to get him out of his comfort zone. Coming forward without a defense and without handspeed will not end well against Wlad -> See Wlad-Povetkin. (Not saying that Povetkin has the same style/physical attributes as Arreola)

    lol Yup

    Arreola would at least have a slim punchers chance vs Volodymyr but i actually think he'd get stopped earlier than he did vs Vitali and KO'd cold.
