whats yer opinions on him
honestly i just think hes a fat american/mexican dunno why the americans are biggin him up as the next big thing in america hes out of shape not even toned
if the haye/wlad fight doesnt come off and he gets to fight wlad i can see arreola being knocked out withhin 3
Oh yeah... and like other people have said... he has a good personality. It makes you want to root for the guy to win just to see what he'll say in the post-fight interview.
Arreola has very good power,and he has boxing skill,he may be a better hw if he takes his training seriously!!I'll tell u all though,he definately has a punchers chance against Wlad! touch that chin just once then well see whats up!!
I just think he's too slow overall. Too slow on his feet, too slow with his hands, too slow with his reactions. If he lost weight it wouldnt make a lot of difference to me. Some people are just slow.
Everybody points out how fat Arreola is, and yes, this is very true. Anytime a boxer jumps on the ropes to celebrate a KO victory and his tits start jiggling, well, that's never a good look. I mean, men aren't even supposed to have tits to begin with.
Having said this, I would still rather watch a fat guy that brings it in the ring than some in-shape snooze fest who lives inside a turtle shell afraid to fight.
Also, some on here have described Arreola as a "street fighter" and we all know they have limited careers in boxing. But those guys are more likely to bring the "excitement" that everybody is talking about in this thread. I'd pay for a PPV to see a street fighter in a good match up whereas I don't think even the biggest fans of current Heavyweight champs buy the boring-ass PPVs their technically-great fighters are involved in. Why? Because even they know, at best, they'll get a glorified sparring session for their money.
And to the poster who pointed out Arreola's hot wife... I try my hardest not to check out another's man's wifey, especially when that man is a thug that would disintegrate my face with one punch, but damn she looked amazing in that Ring Life series. Good call.
i think he's just too dam lazy and wont be anything special either way a bad clone of david tua..i wish they would haved fought so tua can just knock him out for good
Tua was lazy, but he had real talent. Ability to slip punches inside, quickness, overall more agility. Tua would **** Arreola's world up even now I'd bet. If he trained hard for it.
He has great power, and a heck of a chin, and is pretty smart. He lets the guy hit him first to observe how they throw their punches, its great and all but he needs to lose weight, he can't dodge a lot of punches cause he is too fat and slow. Other than that he is good. He is real exciting and his interviews are REAL funny.

Chris Arreloa is one of those cats who got a break because he knows the right people. Yeah sure he's got a huge right hand and he lays people out (after he gets dropped a couple time), but he'll get exposed if he chooses to rise in class.
i think he's fat and out of shape. I am definitely not a fan. He's a street thug.
Don't worry, he'll get it soon enough.
What is he a heavyweight? He ain't got no shot against the top heavyweights.
I pretty much agree with this post. Ol' Nipples is an overhyped slob of a heavyweight. Someone please end the circus now.
He's a big guy with good power in both hands. Other than that he's pretty bad.

i just want an american honest opinion of him because all ive been hearing
hes our next big heavyweight ect
Well for one he's not another America HW that was cherry picked from a football team.
He has a solid amature career, power in both hands, and he's a pressure fighter who in this era of HW boxing is a breath of fresh air when compared to all the nowadays Heavy Weights that hide behind their jabs all night.
Sure he's a fat ass but this is also somthing he actually has control over and if he can just moderate what he eats I see very few weaknesses.
He's a big guy with good power in both hands. Other than that he's pretty bad.
His deffensive skills are bad his power heart and aggression levels are all good.
I'd like to see him get his weight in check but I really like the guy. He goes in and knocks people out which is what HW fighters are supposed to do. I don't think he'll ever be champion but I will watch him every time I can. He fights with heart.
He's an exciting fighter, limited but exciting.
I agree sir. I have only seen his last fight but he got up off the canvas to KO his opponent. Was better then the Main Event which was Williams verse Phillips....Lefty
he's an entertaining out of shape puncher with a good personality
Defintely out of shape....Lefty
