Would a Arreola win be BAD for HW boxing?

    Competition within the heavyweight division is always a good thing for boxing, no matter who is the source of that competition. People have given up on the heavyweights because of the Klitschkos' domination, if Arreola breaks that grip even briefly, it will renew interest.

      It won't be much different. If Arreola wins then Wlad will fight him and take the belt and it will be back to square one.

        I don't want to see fat heavyweight champion. It presents the sport in a poor light.

        Matey should just do some ****ing situps and morning runs. Treat it as the greatest opportunity in sport, which is what it is.

          In the unlikley event Arreola wins it would be big news for the Mexican fans. That would mean very big paydays for Arreola.

            a knockout victory over Vitali will rock the HW division.

              Imagine if both Haye and Arreola won by KO. With Chambers and Povetkin as Wlads mandatories we'll be in for a treat as boxing fans

                  I don't think so. But the politics surrounding boxing won't allow Arreola to get a victory; on top of Vitali puttin a beat down on the "Nightmare." Chris is going to have to do something extreme in order to win this fight. He either has to dominate every single round or Knock the big Russian out. I don't think it'll go past 4 anyways.

                  What was Vitali's last fight? Samuel Peter?

                    I think it would be a great event for boxing.

                    Millions of fat kids would take up the sport because despite not being genetically gifted, they too could beat the odds and be champs.

                    It would show them that you don't have to look like a bodybuilder to win a fight.

                    It would be a victory for the obese.

                      Juan Carlos Gomez was Vitali's last fight.
