    4. Valuev
    5. David Haye
    6. Alexander Peovetikin
    7.......

    Do not believe the hype guys, Arreola is just another cherry picked bum. If he had a 91% ko percentage like Haye or a 4 inch height advantage like Valuev the fight would have never been made.

    are you serious?? arreola has 89% KO%, pretty much the same as haye... and he destoyed Mccline quick and easy, something nobody else has done....

      Nice of you to make up a list, but here's the more recognized version:

      1.Wlad
      2.Vitali
      3.Povetkin
      4.Chambers
      5.Chagaev
      6.Valuev
      7.Arreola
      8.Haye
      9.Ruiz
      10.Boytsov

      Arreola is probably the most underrated fighter on these boards. Sure, the guy has been coming in heavy, but he comes to fight, makes for an exciting fight, has power in both hands and can take a punch.

        Vitali showed his age abit in his last fight against Gomez but stylistically Arreola is a easy matchup for him.

        Vitali will win by KO.

          Do you REALLY think the Klitschkos cherry pick their competition? Get real!

          Vitali came from four-year-hiatus for one belt holder (Peter). No warm-up-fight, an experienced and dangerous foe (at least on paper).

          Wlad offered both Haye and Valuev a chance to fight. Haye pulled out and Valuev didn't step in. So Wlad had to fight Chagaev, a #1 contender - outclassing him.

          Who the hell SHOULD the K brothers fight in your opinion?

          Haye had two chances at a K brother. Valuev's management preferred talking about a Holyfield rematch right after the fight, but avoided a discussion about any Klitschko like the plague. Now, after Valuev's loss against Chagaev, his pullout from the rematch, and the crushing defeat of Chagaev, Valuev is not #1 anymore.

          Povetkin, Dimitrenko, Chambers... or who? Chambers and Povetkin are due 'till year's end. Dimitrenko got stuffed by Chambers.

          WHO ELSE, I ASK YOU!

            I'm a big fan of Vitali, but I dont think this was the best choice of opponents for him. I know VK has a great chin, but at 38 years old he is getting past his prime, if he hasnt already past it. Almost everyone goes out on a loss (oscar, leonard, hearns, ali, tszyu, whitaker, tito, etc) and this could be VK's time.

            They say the first two things go when you get old are your chin and reflexes. Arreloa is a big puncher with decent hand speed. I know Gomez is awkard fighter, but it looked like VK took more shots than usual. If VK is starting to age, then Arreola has a really good chance to pull the upset.

            On the flip side, I also know that once Haye backed out there wasnt many other decent contenders to fight. I mean all that was left is chambers, arreola and povetkin. I hope I'm wrong and that VK blows Arreola out like he did kirk johnson. But unless Vk retires like lewis, sooner or later his time will be up. At 38 years old, I hope he beats arreola and retires.
            I agree this is a dangerous fight. Vitali did appear to be older - slower and less sharp - in his fight with Gomez.

            People underestimate Arreola. I would feel more confident if Vitali was fighting a weaker opponent like David Haye, who he's still KO in his 50s.

              Arreola has a better KO percentage than Haye.

              Haye has 21 KOs in 23 fights.

              Arreola has 24 KOs in 25 fights, and won two DQs where he was about to KO his opponent. Only one fighter has gone the distance with Arreola.

              Arreloa has never lost. Haye has not only lost, he's been stopped.

              Arreola has taken a knee once once. Haye has been down many times, even put down by little super middleweight Lolenga Mock.

                Valuev has been long overdue for at least 4 years now! Show me a video where either Klit has called him out. I mean really call him out like Tyson did to Lewis in 2000. Back when the Heavyweight division was worth a damn, the top guys would call each other out and everyone would hear about it despite there being no internet or youtube. Wat as K2 done?

                The Klits will go down in history as a bunch of sheisters who made their way by cherry picking opponents, unfair contract stipulations and tampering with ring sizes.
