not kicking a man while he is down but why did he come in at such a big weight
this was a huge fight for the world title and for history etc etc
so why did Arreola not come down to 230 at least!!!
riddick bowe and buster douglas both had weight problems but when they came in, in their prime they would come in at a ripped shaped (when they were motivated)
kirk johnson, danny williams and sam peters showed that coming in heavy is the wrong move when you fight klitschko

He could have looked like Matthew McCounaghey he still would have gotten stopped.
I honestly would love to see Matthew McCoungahey get demolished by one of the Klits.
yes he blew it. Ive been saying for years the same thing that Lampley said last night. It makes me so sick to see these fat out of shape HW's. It makes me upset how everyone was sweating Peter at 1st but no one ever talked about how he looked like a round tub. I dont care how talented you are, if you dont get in shape then you will never be nearly as good as you couldve been. Look at Peter, Arreola, Chambers, and so on. Its the same thing yet these guys think they cant beat the Klit brothers. No way. Thats why I like Haye to atleast have a shot because I atleast know that he will put in the work to do as good as he possibly can, even if he does come up short
great post dude
haye gets a lot of sh1t for being "chinny" but least he comes in ripped shape as you should do!!!

There's no way he would ever make 230 again. He was 229 three years ago at the Mayweather-Baldomir undercard.
No way he gets that low. He looked a lot more fit and way younger back then even though it was only three years ago.
Maybe he can get to 240 but I think he's just gunna slowly go up becuase he drinks a shitload of beer and eat's horribly even though he said he was eating better....but you gotta do that shit year round like it's part of your career. eatting healthy between fights should just be like an accountant balancing a budget or something.
style wise he was never gonna get pass the jab enough to land
BUT if he came in at 230 he would of been more engeratic quicker and more explosive
i.e more of a chance to cause an upset
as soon as i saw is weight i put a lot of money on a vitali stoppage victory!!
Just like with Marquez, you could tell early on in the fight the weight didn't make the difference. It was the styles and talent that made the biggest difference.
No. I don't think he ever had a chance. It was a bad match up style-wise for him. Which is precisely why the Klitschko camp was so keen to make the fight happen without complications.
