Arreola Hype, Please Don't Kid Yourselves

[Reggie Miller]

arreola is da mexican Mike TYson, with not as much hype and the same Cop... He can run this division if he trains!

kill yourself
he is nowhere near mike tyson's level.

Kill yourself what kind of ****** comment is that? How old are you 5. I know Chris and he does remind me a mellow Tyson. When you have seen someone fight in person and know how they train is alot different than sitting at a TV. Chris trains as much as he needs to for who he is fighting,I don't agree with that but it works. I have been to alot of Chris's fights and a few of Walker's. Chris without any doubt will win.

Arreola is no good!!!

You most know more than all the guys at HBO and Showtime. They seem to have alot of praise for Chris. I've been a boxing fan for almost 50 years they have been brodcasting for years .Ring magazine likes him too. I have talked with James Toney about Chris, he thinks he is good, I guess you have been to more of his fights then We have and you know something we don't

Arreola will have his shot & then we will see.

Why cant there be more sensible posts like this?

Although I dont THINK he would beat Wladimir, we just have to wait until he faces tougher competition, but to be honest, the depth in the HW just isnt there. If he beats at least ONE gatekeeper, dont be surprised to talks of him fighting Wladimir by late 2009.

^^ same he will get shot at the title, since hes the only heavyweight prospect we have left.But him beating vlad or wlad to me isn't possible.I give him a 2 out of 10 chance of beating them.I just don't see it happening.

Naw he's not on Tysons level skill wise of course, but he's exciting and does some amazing things with his hands somehwhat like tyson.. If he can face off with some one like Chagev and win a title he could gain some real cred and media attention plus if he loses 40 pounds!

Showtime, HBO, and Ring have liked fighters that never made it big in the past and were exposed when they reached the higher stage, this wouldn't be close to the first time this has happened.

So please forgive me if I do not treat HBO, Showtime, and Ring like the gods of boxing knowledge like you would like. I guess maybe I do know something you don't.

Hey papito take it easy, some ppl say dumb stuff here man ya gotta learn to ignore it. Arreola is the best american heavyweight and anyone who tells ya different is wrong. I think other guys have more potential to be better then im but ya kno, righ now Arreola is the best aiight? Now, dude is a slow power puncher who's overweight...that's jus the way it is and who he chooses to be. I think Walker and him will be one of the most entertainin heavyweight fights of the year and but I think Walker bein underrated. He's got good power but head hunts too much, dude shud work the body especially wit Arreola's soft body.

Maybe in about 3 or 4 years. I like Chris, I think he has a lot of heart, he keeps his guard up and seems to have a decent chin and pretty good punch. He looks like he's out of shape but doesn't seem to slow down as the fight goes on. He's still pretty rough around the edges which is surprising considering how many amateur fights he had (over 300.) If the HW division is anywhere near as bad as people say it is, he'll have a title within 2 years.

In 3 or 4 years Vitali wil be what 43 I say he could defintely beat him then lol. Honestly the guys an entertaining fighter with a good punch and a puncher alwas has a chance. Even against a skilled fighter he has a chance. We will see once he is batte tested with a bigger name and better exposure.
