    This is the only reason NSB doesn't take Arreola seriously is.......

    It seeems people have a problem with him because he doesn't fit their mental picture of what th HW champ should look like.

    He has a bit of a gut but I really don't see anyother valid arguments being made by posters on this forum.

    Some have said he has poor hand speed and footwork? Well name a HW other than Chris Byrd in his prime that had good handspeed/footwork within the lst 10 years? And if you go back 20 years you still only find a few HW fighters that actually possesed exceptional hand and foot speed.

    It's kinda sad that nobody cheers for the bluecollar type fighters anymore. But I guess it's just easier to cheer for the obvious champion simply because his muscles look prettier on TV.

        Arreola does need to lose some weight. He can't go 12 rds w/ wlad or Haye, he would pass out!

          Arreola looked like **** in his last fight. His **** were bouncing around and he almost got KO'd by a clubfighter.

            Nevermind that he's never shown any sign's of fatigue in any of his previous fights and in all truth none of his opponents have lasted long enough in the ring with him for us to actually gage his stamina.

              Yeah he got so hurt against walker that he knocked him down and seriously hurt him 30 seconds later.

              And once again you prove my point when the only thing you can point out is that he's overweight.

                  NSB=Non Stop Boxing which is the name of this forum and nobodies opinion matters. The only thing that matters is what happens in the ring.

                    People take him seriously, but he has obvious flaws, and hasn't beaten any top 10 opponents. He has to prove himself one of the top guys before he'll be treated as such.

                    And whether you accept it or not, Arreola has not been in the best possible condition in his most recent fights.
