Am i the only mug in the world that thinks Arreola will win??

[fightingfigs]

Lol no mate already got 2 small bets on Cris, not that confident.

Im with you lock, I think the youthfull Arreola stands a chance if he comes in tip top shape. He has very very good boxing skills and brings it all together on the inside. if he can penetrate the jab he can win for sure. Arreola packs a huge punch, bigger than people think

So how would you handle the question that was posed to me today... 'what is faith and what is the opposite of faith?' The thing that intrigued me about the question was the second part - what is the opposite of faith?

On the one hand you could argue (and I probably would) that faith doesn't really have an opposite. Some (Richard Dawkins, et al) would suggest that scientific rationalism has provided an opposite (or, at very least, an alternative) to faith, but I'm always struck, when talking to such people, by how many 'leaps of faith' they are still taking in their arguments. It's a well rehearsed point that science has not (and cannot) disprove the existence of God or the realm of faith, and so faith is still very much in the equation of the beliefs of even the atheist.

As I mused over this further though, I started toying with the idea that maybe the people closest to the opposite of faith are not the atheists, but the so-called 'people of faith' who think they've got everything sorted. An ultra-conservative theological viewpoint that claims to know all the answers (albeit through 'revelation') and has no room to be surprised or to have that knowledge challenged by further revelation is one that is closed to the mystery of God. Such a view has virtually pushed out the realm of faith, since everything is already black and white - all the t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted; here there is nothing to 'believe' by faith because we already 'know' everything.

It's an interesting idea and somewhat paradoxical that possibly the closest we know to the opposite of faith is not to be found outside the church in the academic lecture halls (which, after all, are given to the pursuit of knowledge and the recognition that there is always more to be discovered, so keeping alive the realm of faith), but is actually to be found inside the church amongst those who have jettisoned the realm of faith in favour of an unshakeable 'knowledge'. Interesting... but probably full of holes as far as theories go!

He can win, but its not going to be easy. He's got all the cards stacked against him but it isn't like he doesn't have any chance at all because he does however small anyone may think it to be. He has to hit that chin early and often while taking punishment in the process. I think the Arreola camps plan is to do that and put Vitali to the test as quick as possible seeing if hes gotten old overnight.

I hope he can catch him quick.

People are relying to much on the fact they have dominated for so long, well sooner or later along comes a guy who can destroy those unbeatable monsters, it happens every era....

I think you are Locke.

Cris has little to no chance at all. Especially coming in at 252.

[GranTorino]

I doubt you're the only one that WANTS Arreola to win, but if you actually think that he'll win....well.....



I dont even think that Arreola HIMSELF thinks that he'll be walking out of that ring of his own volition.

I'm picking Arreola to steam roll Vitali's brittle 28 year-old body.
