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.
