Is Chris Arreola hottest heavyweight prospect?

I've watched Arreola fight a few times and was impressed with him. The first time I saw him was on the Mayweather/Baldomir card against Wills and he looked pretty good in stopping Wills. He came forward and was very active the whole fight. Seen him fight a couple times since and think he is one of the best US HW prospects right now. He gets hit a few times too many for my liking sometimes, especially against Malcomm Tann in his last fight. He took them good, but Tann isn't a huge puncher. I worry that against a huge puncher he might be in trouble. I like his style and will continue to watch him, and hope he becomes champ one day.

Per boxrec Arreola's next opponent will be a guy by the name of Derek Berry whose pro record is 12-8 and has lost his lost 4 fights. There could be a couple of reasons for the dismal opponent: Arreola might be having trouble getting credible opponents in the U.S. because he's considered too 'risky.' Or Arreola's team maybe trying to padd his record by selecting opponents like Berry...:thinking: :dunno:

Does anyone have any idea who's he's fighting? Let's hope it's someone credible....

yea i would say chris is gonna be good, i've seen 4 of his fights, and he's agressive and talks shit in the ring, i like that

Look it up oldanier won the olympic gold for heavy weights in 2004, chris turned pro in 2003. And he beat sultan ibragimov in 2000 the why I said he should have started his pro career earler. The average age for heavy weights is 33, but most fighters start the careers in there early 20s.

He was much smaller when won the olympic gold medal Arreola won the gold medal? For who? Hard to believe it.

Hes a very old prospect but he needs to lose some weight hes only 6'1 and weighed in at 258 in his first fight. He was much smaller when won the olympic gold medal. Ands hes already 27,he should have start at least three years ago. He's young for a Heavyweight,hes very active,27 years old,in three years time he'd have over 20 or 30 fights,and he will only be 30 years old,the average age for a heavyweight is about 33 years old,his age is all good

How about this for a prospect? Cubas amateur star Odlanier Solis look at the level of his first two opponents : http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=391766 WOW...fighting a guy thats 32-7-0 and beating him on your 2nd show, shows alot.

Have you seen him fight? I think you would have a different opinion if you have seen his recent fights. I've seen him fight like 5x. Dude sucks. Is this where we're @ w/the HW's? When this guy is considered good is when I quit the HW's for ev's.

1st of all...his name is the clinical term for NIPPLE. 2nd of all...dudes a bum. Have you seen him fight? I think you would have a different opinion if you have seen his recent fights.

Karma sent, good article. I think the 'hottest' has to be Povetkin because of the sharper early competition, but I look forward to seeing Arreola on the Maragarito card
