Would a Arreola win be BAD for HW boxing?

I think it would be a great event for boxing. Millions of fat kids would take up the sport because despite not being genetically gifted, they too could beat the odds and be champs. It would show them that you don't have to look like a bodybuilder to win a fight. It would be a victory for the obese. Fedor was Arreola inspiration http://images.dailyradar.com/media/uploads/mma/story_large/2009/01/27/fedor_emelianenko_oscar_de_la_hoya_affliction_day_.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0LErihJE5u8/R9CoG-Y5AfI/AAAAAAAAAT4/mvACcFijY3M/s400/FedorIceCream.jpg http://mmafrenzy.com/files/2009/01/fedor-emelianenko.jpg

His fights are always slugfests and he almost always finish them with an spectacular KO, why will it be bad? http://myboxingfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/cristobal_at_halftime.jpg

I don't think so. But the politics surrounding boxing won't allow Arreola to get a victory; on top of Vitali puttin a beat down on the "Nightmare." Chris is going to have to do something extreme in order to win this fight. He either has to dominate every single round or Knock the big Russian out. I don't think it'll go past 4 anyways. What was Vitali's last fight? Samuel Peter? Juan Carlos Gomez was Vitali's last fight.

Anyone think chris is in a lot better shape at the weigh in? not saying much but still...

Imagine if both Haye and Arreola won by KO. With Chambers and Povetkin as Wlads mandatories we'll be in for a treat as boxing fans

a knockout victory over Vitali will rock the HW division.

In the unlikley event Arreola wins it would be big news for the Mexican fans. That would mean very big paydays for Arreola.

I don't want to see fat heavyweight champion. It presents the sport in a poor light. Matey should just do some ****ing situps and morning runs. Treat it as the greatest opportunity in sport, which is what it is.

It won't be much different. If Arreola wins then Wlad will fight him and take the belt and it will be back to square one.

Competition within the heavyweight division is always a good thing for boxing, no matter who is the source of that competition. People have given up on the heavyweights because of the Klitschkos' domination, if Arreola breaks that grip even briefly, it will renew interest.

New blood is what keeps boxing breathing. To have guys the age of Vitali, Hopkins, Jones, and Juan Manuel Marquez beating these young guys over and over. Granted Vitali SHOULD handle the pudgy man with ease and I don't think Arreola learns all that much in a victory here, and in the end that's whats going to help him become a real force in this division. Cristobal needs to learn how to take this sport and his career seriously, and if he continues to slide by as he has been doing, he won't amount to anything more than a fringe contender. I believe that won't change until he is humiliated, and Klitschko is the man to do it.

If he manages to win, it could bring some needed attention to the division, but that is a big 'if'.

no. a win for areola means a new era in the hw division is starting to unfold

Hell no. Arreola may be FAT but he is exciting to watch.
