Arreola Isn't the One

Chambers NEVER hurt Povetkin....Povetkin walked through those shots like they were nothing.

Best prospects:

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

Eastern European heavyweights >>>>>>>> American heavyweights

and some how, they can't manage to get one godam unified undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.what the **** is wlad and his team waiting for? is he hoping vitali gets two too?

Arreola is the one

As long as Chris trains for this fight, Walker will not stand a chance nor will anyone else. It all lies in how hard he wants to train for each fight.

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.

Only step up in the current Heavy Weight division would be Vitali.. the rest is a latterel step. Chris is a good fighter....Only time will tell..How many MEXICAN heavy weights are out there? Not many..he's built how he is built....

I agree. I'm not sold on Arreola at all.

Chris Arreola

My family has known Chris since 2004. I have seen many of his fights in person.( We have seen Walker fight several times too) I know how he trains and if he is down to 225-235 then, I doubt any heavyweight can beat him. Unfortunately he only trains as hard as he needs to depending on who is is fighting. Walker is very good so he will have to train hard and if he does Chris will win.

the Euro's might not have an officially unified Champ yet, but all 4 Alphabet champs at the moment are of European decent

good point if Vitali goes after Valuev the Heavyweight division will be officially dead locked.

besides that above possibility I don't get why the Heavy division gets so much crap .. sure there's been some lousy champs and or boring bouts
(but most of those champs wind up losing there belts anyway)

with Haye coming up, plus the exciting contenders in Povetkin, Arreola and Walker

it's enough to maintain my interest level.

the American media just over blows the Heavyweight div. as crappy since outside of Holyfield there's no big names left.
