Comments Thread For: Whyte Return Eyed For Late August, Early September: Arreola a Possible Opponent

[DougalDylan]

He'd kill Charles Martin.
(Hunter guy) Hirgovic would be a good fight but he can't fight Whyte (not ranked top 15 IBF as he has a WBC interim title) so Hirgovic would drop his potential AJ spot.

Whyte's just done back to back fights against a top 10 opponent (boxrec\ ring\ ESPN rankings) while others did literally nothing.

The idea is a much easier fight in the States so Arreola Byant etc then back to eating up that top 10.

I suspect he's after Arreola to stop him for bragging rights over Ruiz to try and draw him out.

Whyte should stop fighting the over 40s and take on someone else like Charles Martin. Andy Ruiz would be a great fight but Ruiz doesn’t want it. What about the guy who’s looking for an opponent for the IBF eliminator which Michael Hunter ran from?

[STREET CLEANER]

Arreola had two fights which his output was high and his chin held up. On paper he looks like a credible opponent that brings fans in because he gained respect in those losses. They might have be underestimating Chris because Whyte does gas out half way the fight and is not this huge puncher he makes himself out to be. This fight would depend in how much Chris has left and can he maintain that type of training and bring that to the fight. He is over 40 and has taking a lot of damage throughout his career.

Age/youth isn't on Arreola's side but, his last performance if replicated all the way down to the strategy would give him a very very good chance to win. I can imagine the Arreola we saw late in the Ruiz fight throwing counters and moving till Whyte drops from fatigue and accumulation of punches. Anyway's i smell an upset or at least drama in this one..

Here’s Whyte telling us all Arreola is a complete joke only 31 days ago...

Whyte, who last month got revenge with a stoppage win in his rematch with Alexander Povetkin, views Ruiz-Arreola as a "garbage fight."

"A strategic comeback fight," Whyte told Sky Sports. "It's a fight that's going to make him look good.

"Make him look like, 'Oh yeah, he's this and he's that,' but on paper it's not. If you run it on paper, it's not, because Chris Arreola is shot. Chris Arreola has been shot for a few years.

"If he was fighting Chris Arreola a few years ago, people would be like, 'No, that's a garbage fight.' Now it's the same, if not worse. [Arreola] was a decent fighter in his heyday but he's been retired for two years since losing to Adam Kownacki.

"It's a good strategic move from his team, him coming back and he'll bash Arreola. [People will say] 'Andy Ruiz, yeah he's back, and he's motivated, and he looked so good.' Let's be honest, it's Chris Arreola he's fighting. Typical joke fight from the fake Mexican."

Gotta love Dillain Whyte. Talks **** about Andy Ruiz, fights the guy Ruiz beats

[BigZ44]

Arreola would make for a fun rumble

[Hustle]

Typical whyte. He prefers arreola over ruiz.

Makes zero sense

[joe strong]

I really have no problem with Whyte/Arreola mainly because Arreola is one of my favourite active fighters…

[BarfyMan362]

Whyte Ruiz makes way more sense, or maybe hgrovic. He should try to be as many mandatories as he can if he really wants a title shot

[JakeTheBoxer]

I believe Whyte loses to AJ ( again),Fury, Joyce and Usyk. Ruiz, Ortiz, Wilder are 50 -50 fights.

He is clearly top 10 guy.

People trash him because he was stopped by Povetkin. But only Klitschko and Joshua beat Povetkin before Whyte did.
