    True boxing fans know

    The difference between being exciting and being good/great. Anyone who honestly believes Arreola has any shot at beating Wlad knows almost 0 about boxing. These are the same people who say Pacquiao will destroy Floyd, Pac does have a better shot because he is also skilled but nobody destroys Floyd. I understand rooting against a fighter, but if you really believe a great fighter with a cautious style like either Floyd or Wlad is getting destroyed you need to pick another sport because you sure dont understand boxing.

    Well considering this is boxing a sport where 1 punch can change anything...

    But I get your point.

        Good shout.... But if Areola gets in shape, he'll do damage...
        Wlad put on a great show against Chagaev, but RAW fighters tend to prevail in this sport..

          your right,
          but arreola has a chance against Wlad,
          because he can hit HARD.

          but other then that your right

            Show me how many champs are RAW fighters, and maybe I can agree with you. But not until then.

            I see polished guys winning championships and raw guys getting ****ed up on the big stage as a general rule.

              Over cautious fighter never have the same legacy as fighters who are willing to actually fight.. The Klits can be over cautious and look terrible against the weak competetion they are facing now but when they face a throwback fighter with athleticism and rythm..they are gonna fall..hard.

                Fighters with RAW talent tend to prevail there is a difference. I like Arreola hes fun to watch, but I see nothing from him that makes me think he'll do anything. In order to beat Wlad you have to get past his jab, and if you are so lucky you get to catch a right hand for your troubles. Steward has Wlad tying up anyone who gets past the right hand so then its break em up and start the process all over again.

                    If that fight were to happen, it will be in LV and best belive that the ref will not allow soo many clinches without points being taken away.. sort of like the ruiz jones fight from a few years back
