I watched a video on fighthype, and Estrada was talking a lot of **** on Arreola. He's hoping for a fight to be made. Who do you think will win it?

I read about that the other day...I found it rather interesting:
Here's a copy of the letter:

SPECIAL
"Big Six" calls out the "Nightmare"
Open Letter to Chris Arreola
From U.S. Olympian Jason Estrada
Dear Chris,
Congratulations on your win last weekend against Chazz Whitherspoon. I honestly didn’t agree with the referee’s decision to disqualify Chazz but hell, I really haven’t been impressed by anything you have done.
I think it’s time for us to determine who is America’s top heavyweight prospect. I’ve been minding my business, fighting anybody my promoter Jimmy Burchfield has put in front of me. None of them have had a losing record and the combined record of my opponents when they fought me is 203-73-9. Nine of your 24 opponents had losing records, 256-180-21 overall. There are a lot of cupcakes and tomato cans on your resume. My opponents had a winning percentage of 71% and your opponents combined for only 56%.
I’ve sat back and watched you fight stiff after stiff and somehow the media has bought into you being the “Nightmare?” It’s more like you are a bad dream! I have one loss on my record because I was willing to fight in the other guy’s (Travis Walker) hometown. He had 20 pro fights while I had only six. I hurt my shoulder early in that fight but I still almost pulled off a victory.
I’m ready to fight you to prove I’m America’s #1 heavyweight hope. All of the top rated heavyweights are tied up for months. Styles make fights and fans always love to watch a puncher like you fight a boxer like me. Supposedly, I can’t punch, so just get into the ring with me and find out that I have great bread and the fastest hands in our division.
You’re supposed to be the “Nightmare.” Well try and scare me; I dare you!
Sincerely,
Jason “Big Six” Estrada (13-1, 3 KOs)
2004 U.S. Olympian
Future World Heavyweight Champion
I think it will be a good match-up...I'm still open on who is going to win.Last edited by Ray Ray; 06-26-2008, 04:54 PM.Comment

I could see Estrada lasting longer than Witherspoon did, but I think the pressure from Arreola and his pretty good punching power would eventually get to Estrada. Since Estrada doesn't seem to have great power I don't think he could stop Chris from coming forward.Comment

In all fairness, Witherspoon would have lasted longer had his corner not got into the ring while the ref was giving him the 8 count. Sure he had his bell rung, but he also had almost a minute to clear the cobwebs and go back to outboxing Arreola like he was doing in the 2nd round.Comment

Maybe so he could have lasted another 30 seconds. I just didn't see him lasting really any longer. He hadn't been able to handle the pressure of Arreola up to that point and he was badly hurt going back to his corner. I just felt like for Witherspoon's sake it was a good thing the fight was stopped.In all fairness, Witherspoon would have lasted longer had his corner not got into the ring while the ref was giving him the 8 count.

I disagree. The last knockdown he went straight on his face knocked out and he took longer than a minute to even realize he where he was. Dude was out.In all fairness, Witherspoon would have lasted longer had his corner not got into the ring while the ref was giving him the 8 count.

as for Jason "Motel 6" Estrada it's actually a step backward if Arreola were to fight him.Comment

I just felt like for Witherspoon's sake it was a good thing the fight was stopped.I'm not denying he was hurt, and his feet were very wobbly when he got up, but he did seem to regain his senses pretty quickly and didn't seem out of it at all in the interview after the fight. I think the 52 sec or so in the corner, he would have gotten his legs back and having learned his lesson about standing and trading with Chris, Chazz would've gotten back on his bike. Chazz is clearly the superior boxer, he just picked the wrong dude to sit and trade with.
And I agree, Estrada does nothing for Arreola at this point. I'd like to see Chris in there with someone like Travis Walker.Comment
