Vitali Klitschko Targets Chris Arreola For LA Showdown

[Tobi.G]

a big thumbs up to Vitali for not wasting his time with Maskaev, and going after a fun to watch fighter like Arreola.

I really, REALLY hope this fight happens. Haye vs Wladimir and Arreola vs. Vitali are the first real interesting heavyweight matchups weve seen in a long time.

hope Povetkin and Dimitrenko can get in the mix soon.

I for my part think Gomez was an more interesting opponent than Arreola. He had more to offer and is a bigger challenge than Arreola. Arreola will not stand more than 4 or 5 rounds with Klitschko. But hes still one of the best guys Vitali could face now, the diision has not much better to offer right now, of course it would be much better than a fight against Maskaev.

Everyone knows how Arreola fights. Vitali knows Arreola won't even touch him, and he'll pound him out in about 4-5 rounds.

Arreola might hit hard, but he ain't gonna be effective against Vitali. No way, no how.

[joseph5620]

Arreloa has a terrible style to fight Vitali. After the 4th or 5th round it would be batting practice for Klitschko. And some of the Klitschko hate on this thread is incredibly moronic.

Agreed. I would say that Arreola has about as close to zero chance of winning that fight as you can get.

Arreola needs to lose bigtime weight and improve on his defense. He is a big, big guy that has tons of power. People here saying that he can't hurt or move Vitali obviously have not seen him koing people.

He is far from being ready to fight either one of the K bros, but he is not just an overrated fat guy as it were. If he takes his preparation seriously, then he could definitely KO whoever is in front of him. I want to see how he does against McCline first to see if he is taking stuff seriously. He has one punch ko power regardless of how his body looks....not saying he is something great, but he has potential. He would certainly lose if he fought either of the Klitschkos now.

Klitschko

Areolla will beat Vitali.....

Never under estimate the Mexican Bloodline.....

Wants it more than Vitali.... Arreola by LATE KO....

There is a differnce in wanting a fighter to win and picking a fighter to win, all the people on here picking Arreola to win i believe are hoping he would win, cause they can't be that ******. Those of you out there picking Arreola to win don't know boxing, better go to MMA. I have been watching boxing since 1990, ask me anything. Vitali beats him very badly. I do believe Arreola would try extremely hard, but that doesnt mean he will win. This is a gross mismatch, but more people would rather see him bust up Arreola than Maskiev.

wow i'm suprised vitali had guts to get out of europe.....conventional wisodom says vitali outboxes him....but arreola is expolisive something we havent seen in years....i could see the possibilty of an early arreola ko of vitali....more importantly it would be a win for boxing fans to see vitali get knocked the f out

.....Well, all I know is that you're a green toofed little ****** who will never ever see Vitali knocked out by the likes of "The Nipple" or more importantly "The Gaye". BTW, Hatton getting utterly ****d by a guy who runs from his opponents was so embarrasing that I can't believe he still has the nerve to get in the ring. After Pacman abuses him, the only place we will see that rosey cheeked pale bastard is down at the pub.

[oldgringo]

Vitali is going to tee off on his dome. This will be a bloodbath. Arreola has a shot to beat Wlad....Vitali will dominate him though.

[Down4TheCount]

of the two young heavyweights with potnetial ( arreola and haye ) arreola has a horrible style to throw up against the klitch's . he stays in front , not much movement , hes a big target , and hell get into a slugfest. that equals disaster against either of them especially vitali . people also like to think that vitali has the same chin as wlad , vitalis chin is actually pretty damn good .

haye has a better chance simply because his style matches up much better with the worlds best two hw's. his chin may be the only thing holding him back.

[Boxeo_Boricua]

IMO, Arreola should fight Wlad first because at least he has a weak chin. Everybody knows that Vitali is the best of the K brothers.

[pistol whip]

Arreola has a bad defense? Name one opponent other than Travis Walker that landed any serious punches against Arreola?

You guys watch one fight and suddenly you know everything about the guy.

***ing nitwits!!!
