Ok I have not said anything on this site for a month and waited for Chris to do my talking. I was front row at the fight all you guys who put him down said he would LOSE he kicked the @#%&@ out of Walker. Now you start this BS again. Eveybody at the fight last night like Harold Lederman think Chris is a damn good fighter. So all you armchair TV watchers start the crap again. All the professional experts think Chris will be the next HW champ. Chris has proven him self over and over again. It is pretty easy to sit behind a TV and say someone can't fight. Well I will be at James Toney's fight in a couple of weeks. He thinks very highly of Chris and I'm sure James and the staff at HBO know a hell of alot more about boxing than all you armchair boxers. If you can not back what you say don't say it. Chris backed my mouth from what I said and he will back me again. What does it take for you people to open your eyes. Walker came in the fight in great shape, Chris shocked me at his weight,but like I said before I disagree with it but it works for him he only trains what he needs to for a certain fight and it has not failed him ONCE. If an out of shape guy can do what he did to Travis. What will he do when he weighs 230-240 his best weight. You people should open your eyes and see what Boxing really is. It is not an armchair sport. If you guys who know so much about Chris say what you say and he will prove you wrong again and again ,go sit watch some football and tell them how they should play. Chris so far has done everything right so far so all of you "experts" and haters once again Chris talk crap about someone you know nothing of.

I like Chris's heart and fighting style. Every fight I've watched of his has been pretty good. It's nice to see that in the HW division, but I just don't see him beating either of the Klit brothers at this point. I hope he can prove me wrong and if he does beat those guys his popularity would surely be high. I don't think he would be Oscar like just because Oscar had so many other factors that made him the Golden Boy.Comment

Chris is a good fighter but no way is ready for the Klit. Bro...They are levels ahead of him and it will be a long night for Chris!Comment

Hey guy, many of us are fans of Nightmare. It was just a bit disappointing to see him come in that heavy, sit on the ropes in the first round and then suffer a knockdown. Granted, he did come back to win in exciting fashion.
I know that I'm saying, it won't work against the top tier heavys. I'd love for nothing more than for Chris Arreola to be the next great HW champ of the world.Comment

I agree with the weight. As of 4 weeks ago I knew he had not lost a pound,so I thought he had a month to get in shape. I was totally shocked that he did not lose any weight. I was extremly worried that he would lose,but as always he did not. I know Chris likes to party but before a fight he needs to get in shape. I told Goosen last night that I thought he was ready for anyone,but he does need to be in better shape when he's not in shape what he has going for him his punches and his ability to take a punch. I do agree with you about his weight,but George Foreman old and fat beat a few guys so I hope he will get in shape but even if he does not look what he did to a guy who was in great shape Travis Walker,and Travis is no fly by night fighter he is good I have been to a few of his fights and I think he is good. After last night Chris has proven what he can do.Comment

There are a dozen heavyweights I would pick to beat Arreola at this point.
Travis Walker is a guy who was so crude a few years back that I caught one of his fights on ESPN and was actually lol'ing at his lack of skills. He is not a top-30 fighter, not matter how you cut it. It is a shame Arreola won the fight because between the two guys and their preparation it is clear that Walker is the guy who actually trains hard and tries to improve himself... Arreola just eats burritos and trusts his matchmaker.
Two people in this thread think Arreola is the next big thing.. and they both happen to be "friends"... no of course that doesen't reek of personal bias.Comment

I might be bias but,I'm honest. I would never say Chris could win if I did not truly believe it. It's funny that so many of the Chris haters are not people that work with or for boxing. Odd that all the guys at HBO think he is good. even Lennox,who knows a little about boxing I think. I talked to Larry Merchant last night,he thinks Chris is good. Chris's last fight I talked to James Toney about Chris, he believes he is good. So how is it that all you Chris haters know so much more than people who get paid to analize, commentate,box and train and work in boxing. Since you haters know so much about boxing you should very easy take their jobs. They get paid alot to travel all over the world. It would be a great job,So walk up to all the professional boxing people who believe Chris is good and tell them you know alot more about boxing than they do,so they should get fired and you guys take their jobs. All the haters said Chris would lose against Walker,and now that he won you say Walker is no good. It's amazing how you armchair tv watching boxers know way more then the people who are actually at the fight. And again Chris proved ALL the haters wrong he WILL do it again. If you are two feet away from the ring like I was last night you might actually see the power behind a punch from Chris. So all you haters sit back and tell us all the next winners of matches that why we could put all we have on a bet in Vegas because YOU know what you are talking about and no one else does. My last say I will never knock any boxer it takes alot of guts to go into that ring if you are good or bad. maybe all you haters should keep your hate to yourself. If you can go in the ring and whip these guys that you put down then maybe you have the right to knock someone, in my opinion sitting watching tv does not make an expert on boxing!Comment
