A motivated McCline could spell trouble for any HW, it's not a given that Arreola wins it to begin with.
Vitali Klitschko Targets Chris Arreola For LA Showdown
Collapse

Hopefully this goes down... IF Arreola can get by McCline. I think he does but I think McCline is live. I originally didn't think Arreola could beat Vitali, (and I still don't think he beat can Vladamir) but if the Vitali that faught Gomez shows up I think he may knock him out. That could be a really good Heavy weight fight... Looking foward to Peter vs Chambers this friday. Props to ESPN for that and the Vitali fight.
Is it because a cuban southpaw with over 350 total fights gave Vitali a little trouble hitting him in the first 2 rounds? LOL
Arreola is a punching bag who throws wild, slow punches. I should hype him up so Vitali gets more credit but I cannot even do it and remain honest. As much as I like Cristobal and want a great American heavyweight, he just doesn't fit the bill.
And for those who think Arreola is faster than Vitali, it's laughable. I can't think of many heavyweights who telegraph their punches more than Cris.
Cris needs to face Peter to even see if he's on the level. I would put my bank on Peter to knock him out too.Last edited by Chase8400; 03-25-2009, 07:54 AM.Comment

Arreola hopefully gets past McCline in impressive fashion and then bring on the V. Klit battle. It would be great for boxing.
And since Vitali has already said he would fight in L.A., you know Team K is gonna demand 4 rematches, an 8 X 8 ring, their own hand-picked ref and judges, and all money from future Chris fights... just for starters. (I'm kidding. Please don't spaz out.)Comment

I honestly don't think Arreola will make it past McCline. If Sam Peter, who I think is a lot stronger than Arreola, couldn't put down McCline, Arreola won't be able to, as well. If McCline does a little of what Walker did in the first round against Arreola, and combines it with what he did against Peter in Rounds 2 and 3, Arreola will be KTFO.Comment

I hope this fight happens, Im not sure if it needs to happen now though. However I wont know until i see arreola fight in april.
I want to see if he was determined enough to reach his weight goal and if he has improved his defensive techniques. Arreola HAS KNOCKOUT POWER! I don't understand why all of you keep leaving that out of the equation. Arreola has power and speed. Great amatuer background. Most heavyweights rely on their strength not on endurance or speed. I think that if Arreola keeps his focus on using the proper tactics for Mccline and/or Vitali he will not only have a good chance of winning but has the ability to knockout both of them.

Chris Arreola is a fat guy fighting in a division full of fat fighters.
Can we please shut the *** up about this already and maybe if some of you actually watched boxing maybe you would have realized that outside of the klitchkos and Haye none of the current crop of HW boxers are ever gonna win a body beautiful contest.Comment
