Some guys are just not built to be pretty in the ring and he isn't one of them still still seems kind of ****ty to knock dude based on his appearance or style of fighting. That's it

      you suggesting that I am biased because of his nationality?

      but what it does show you is that they at one point or another liked him enough to bring him back and judging by what the other heavys who have either had their training here or are based have said Arreola does work his ass off.

      and to be honest where did I say he look amazing? you made a comment about his physique alluding to his work ethic and I replied that he works hard.
      i said that he doesn't look as amazing as some people would believe, not necessarily you. i was arguing my point. HBO brought him on to fight because he is a slugger/brawler and Chazz has bad defense & is inexperienced.

      that is the perfect formula for a hardhitting knockout fight...
      they don't want a mayweather style boxer on the undercard that is going to move around, potshot the fighter & take it 10 or 12 rounds.

      i'm not sold and i still think when an experienced heavyweight that boxes meets up with him, it will be bad news for arreola.

          if you used just a little bit of plain and basic common sense you would know mexico does not produce alot of big fighters. you should also know any division that has more than 5 mexicans we dominate. educate yourself.

            Mexicans are generally very small people.

            I remember when Margarito vs. Cintron I happened, they said that Margarito was the largest Mexican world champion, and he is merely a welterweight. That's pretty damn small when your biggest elite is 147 pounds.

              fair enough although I will say a lot of people were basing their picks on the more skilled fighter, Chazz.

              not saying you but just saying you can't always pick a fighter based on skillset alone.

                Sorry about asking a question about Mexican Boxing history. I am not familiar with it. How am I a racist it was just a question. I know Mexico produces of the one finest low weight classes fighters around the world.

                  plain and basic common sense. terra garcia was the biggest recent world champion until he lost but arreola will make that change very soon. he is a young hungry mexican on the rise.

                    How am I racist. It was a question. Do I know every Mexican world champion in every division. NO

                      Andrade actually has a decent chance to pick up an alphabet belt. hes been looking waaaay better since the Kessler fight, he looked like garbage in that fight. I mean offensively and defensively, because his balance was horrible in that fight.

                      titles are wide open right now, because eventually they need champs again for the belts Calzaghe vacated. and no one at Super Middle wants to fight each other, while Andrade is. just because of that he could end up winning a title there
