    Arreola Isn't the One

    There is no way that a guy who comes into his fights fat and overweight, when he is getting around title shot range, is going to be the saviour of this division.

    Every single undisputed heavyweight champ has trained hard and come into shape every fight coming all the way up. All we have here is another Hasim Rahman/James Toney level fighter on our hands.

    The only undisputed heavyweight champ who at times had his conditioning questioned a bit was Lennox Lewis, and that was situations when he was thought to be 4-5 lbs heavier than he should be, not 20 lbs heavier. Oh, and Arreola ain't no Lennox.

    I'm sorry if you think you see potential in Arreola, but if this is where the guy's head is it just isn't happening. I think he gets exposed the minute he ACTUALLY steps up.

    If Arreola fights Travis Walker in November he will get exposed. Walker has what it takes to take care of Arreola's fat ass. I think the guy has good power and everythin buh his punches are slow and he don't have good stamina. Put him in there with Travis Walker.

        Man Chris is abeast point blank i dont care if he comes in 50 lbs overweight teh chances of beating him are the same, the guy can throw bombs and his still reminds me of Juan Diaz.... He may be exposed but it wont b by no Travis Walker.. it would have to be a guy like Chagaev someone who can box and use the entire ring..

          Greatest I am we gotta throw some points on that Tarver Dawson match. Chris is nice but after the increased publicity he's getting, he should really lose weight not gain

              Arreola is just another sub-standard heavyweight to add to the list. I feel sorry for Wlad Klitschko, he deserves some better opponents.

                Arreola is not the Messiah. He will not save America from the European heavyweights.

                The Messiah is a teenager in some reform school, dreaming of becoming the next Ali and of having sex with white girls.

                When He comes, we will all know who He is.

                  Paul Williams is the 1

                  Arreola is the 0

                  Standing next to each other they are

                  The number 10

                    Eddie Chambers is the best American heavyweight.

                    He could of beaten Alexander Povetkin if he actually fought back, but I think he had some issues coming into the fight, so he gave the fight away. Chambers is definitely a better boxer than Povetkin. If there is a rematch Chambers would beat him soundly next time, that I'm sure of.

                    Chambers would beat Arreola, Travis Walker, and Kevin Johnson too.
