Chris Arreola was impressive but would get destroyed by either Klit brother

    Arreola is strong, but he has bad defense and he is a wild brawler who will go down for anyone with good technical boxing skills.
    #1 HW prospect. Not sure how you could rank him above Thompson, or even Chambers at this point.

      But bottom line Walker showed in the first round exactly how to beat him. Obviously Chris has almost zero defense. He is tough as nails and hits hard. A straight jab, counter right, and decent movement could lead to outboxing him easily. The big problem is when Walker decided to trade with him, for some reason losing his composure. A big part of that comes from amateur experience. The biggest impressive thing from Chris tonight was coming off the canvas to win and keeping his composure. In the end that was the difference, you could see Chris was a professional fighter and Walker had less experience. Mentally I was impressed by him. But until he takes the fight game more serious, and loses weight and takes his conditioning seriously and gets a better training I'm not sold on him. His defensive flaws are huge.

      The Klits both of them, have way too much boxing skill for him.

      I could see him MAYBE catching Wlad on his suspect chin, but that's unlikely and a long long shot. He'd have no chance against Vitali.
      he is an extremely skilled slugger..so for those of you who say he has will and no skill have no idea what youre talking about..secondly if he were the same size as the klits he would knock them out... skillwise hes the best fighter ive seen seen in the heavyweight division combine power speed and chin.. but hes too small for the giants.. walker is 265 pounds of pure muscle

            I agree. Wlad has eaten this type of fighter before for lunch.

            But don't make excuses for Wlad in that fight. He proved himself in the rematch but lost fair and square on that night. Even still he gave Lamon a horrific beating that Chris would not be able to take.

              Either brother runs this guy off. Fighters today are overrated when it comes to talent.

                Agree he would get schooled. It's hilarious how people are already overrating him.

                  He could beat Wlad because he wouldn't sit there taking punches like everybody else does against the Klitschkos. Once Arreola gets hit, he will at least attack rather than sit back and take it like everyone else. I like Arreola and hope he gets Wlad. Vitali will eat his lunch, but he has a chance against Wlad since, well, EVERYBODY has a chance against that glass chinned *****

                    Well I know you hate Wlad and all but seriously, there's no reason to predict other than a lucky shot Chris beats Wlad.

                    Wlad just poleaxes him with the jab. Maybe a wild cavemen swing connects, but it's unlikely.

                    Smart Money is on Wlad.
