Chris Arreola = Heavyweight version of Arturo Gatti

[WLAD_OWNS]

Arreola and Gatti have a lot of similarities

Arreola is an exciting fighter with a big heart and he has a good personality, he is a breath of fresh air in the heavyweight division....It's good to finally see a Mexican heavyweight, he will have a big fanbase.

With that being said, Arreola will NEVER be an elite heavyweight, he is just too slow, has no defence and his chin isn't that good. He will eventually get brutally KO'd.

I actually agree with every single point you make. Good post.

[Pugilistic™]

I agree.

he has no chance against either Klitschko.

[egreezy]

One of the more exciting heavyweight fights I seen in while. Not sure the last one I enjoyed that much.

[Dynamite Kid]

any HW that relies on thier inside game has no chance with either Klitschko

why?because they hold you on the inside and dont let you work especially Wladimir

that is why allthough Haye has a slim chance he has a better chance than Arreola,Povetkin cause Haye can counter punch from long range and he has good foot speed to close the distance and hit you with bombs

Why should they fight at a disadvantage (eg, fighting on the inside)when they can dominate their opponents from the outside?

I feel Haye has a small chance against Wladamir because of course Wlad hasn't got the best chin.

Against Vitali i give him near no chance.

If he does fight either of them i expect him to get ko'd though.

[Silencers]

For some reason he reminds me of Johnny Tapia, I think it's mainly his personality though, and he looks a little like Mi Vida Loca.

im not saying they should fight on the inside

i agree to an extent but i will be betting on Haye if he fights Wladimir because i believe he has the style to be able to land his big punches on Wladimir where as i dont think he does against Vitali

dont get me wrong Wladimir v Haye goes long there is only one winner and it aint Haye but i have a feeling Haye is going to knock Wladimir out i really do

I'd be fine with that.

Good post but I don't understand the bad chin comment. He gets hit a lot but seems to recover well IMO. I don't think it's his chin that is the problem. It's his lack of defense.
