      Ok I have been following Arreola for a lot longer then a lot of you guys(so cal kid). This kid has a lot of solid goods. His power is unreal. His work rate outstanding at heavy weight. Is footwork and defense are good enough(obviously). His boxing skills incredibly under rated due to his lack of need for them. He has come forward and said he likes to fight(get hit).

      Ok it is hard to say how good Arreola is because he hasn't stepped up quite yet. His high work rate cripples most heavy weights because he doesn't give his opponent a chance to land a significant punch. You also have to keep in mind that he has been in a boxing gym the majority of his life and he knows boxing.

      When they talk about Arreola sparring and working in the gym, he does not slug, he works on defense, footwork, and boxing. He outboxes his sparring partners(rather then punish them). When you ask him how his performances were he never rates them high(knows he can do better). If you watch him you see one dimensional, but everyone who has seen him in the gym know he is capable of a lot more. Has he ever needed to do more? No, so why do more. He has openly admitted that he performs at about 65% of his ability so that he can have tools left in the artillery for step up fights.

      I think being deemed the messiah is a bit much, but I do think he has the makings of a champion. So I guess I agree he is over rated, though I think as the Transformers say "there's more then meets the eye".

            I think areola couldnt have made a ******er move than coming in that heavy,he lost alot of fans w/ hope in him such as myself.If u come in looking like that you cannot be an elite fighter cuz u dont have the determination to train like you should everytime.Especially scince hes about to make some major money cust for the the fact that hes the only undefeated American heavyweight we all wanted to have hope in that=major$$$,instead of coming in in better shape to show why we should beleive in him he just stuffed his fat face.

              he throws a few good combos but if i didnt know who he was and someone just randomly showed me one of his fights i would have thought it was prison boxing.

                    Best prospects:

                    Povetkin, Dimitrenko, Boytsov >>> Chambers, Arreola, Walker

                    Eastern European heavyweights >>>>>>>> American heavyweights
                    Right on, bro!

                      That's the problems with your American heavyweights...your fighters have gone soft from living in an easy laid back country where you get spoon fed and can get anything you want....You American big men lack the hunger, will and determination needed to be successful.

                      Lamon Brewster is the only American heavyweight left that has a big heart, skill and true will to win....the rest of the american HW's will never amount to anything.


                      Our Eastern European heavyweights are stronger, hungrier, more determined and have the Will to win...We will be dominating the division for a very, very long time.
                      So poverty stricken neighborhoods produce the best heavyweights in the world?? If you wanna go with that lame duck argument dog look at where our champion heavyweights come from. Brownsville Brooklyn, Flint Michigan, Baltimore Maryland, Martinsville ******ia, West Philly, Louisville Kentucky, Easton Pennsylvania, Atlanta Georgia. These ain't places where anyone get's spoon fed anythin except for some crack rock aiight? No doubt righ now East Euro's are rulin the division but that's cuz American Heavies are in the NFL or tried to be never made it and haven't even thought about boxin. Marketing Wlad Blows that's what the American Heavies need, more boxin gyms and some good old PR!
