    What, Arreola is a come foward fighter who likes to throw lots of power punches and is always looking for the ko victory, to be onest i don' think he has much of a technical side to him, and i don't think he's the type of fighter who would to ''outbox'' someone he likes to come and fight,and also even if he did want to outbox Foreman i still think George would KO him as Arreola hasn't got a great defence either. Foreman takes the KO victory.

        Why does it have to be a prime Foreman? I think Foreman right now beats Arreola

          It's a size mismatch, Foreman wasn't used to fighting guys his size not to mention fighters bigger than him. His biggest win was over a cruiserweight like Joe Frazier.
          What! When Foreman fought Frazier he was the number 1 heavyweight, 29-0,He wasn't a cruiserweight he weighed 214 pound when he fought Foreman the cruisrweight division now is 200 pound, and just because your heavier dosen't mean better, Marciano in his prime weighed no more than 185 to 190, Joe Louis in his prime weighed 200 and a bit, Jack Demspey in his peak fight against Willard weighed 187½.Just because you weigh alot heavier than someone dosen't mean its gonna be a mismatch and as i've just showed most of the all time greats heavyweights never weighed in huge amounts.

              American heavyweights are terrible

              Eastern European heavyweights dominate the heavyweight division and beat the **** out of those American punks.

                It's not the "state of the heavyweight division" it's the state of boxing in America.

                The US has fewer and fewer world titles and division champions. In the 2008 Olympics, the US failed to win a single gold or silver medal, and needed bad judging to even win the one bronze.

                The heavyweight division is doing not too badly, with Haye, the Klitschkos, Povetkin, Dimitrenko, etc. - but the state of the US heavyweights is getting worse and worse!

                  That being said the only one of those who doesnt get knocked out within 6rds by prime Foreman is Vitali

                    I think Foreman would KO him today.

                      Im a big fan of Arreola but damn, come on. None of the currnet heavys would have a chance with the heavys back then. Even Wlad or vitali would get knocked out in 1 agianst the heavys back then.
