Could Arreola have been a belt holder while Tyson was in prison?

    What is think is that this whole "weak HW era" idea is nonsense, and a contender level fighter now like Arreola is just as good if not better than many contender level HWs of the past.

    Nothing really has changed, you just have a few guys at the top that make everyone else even if they are decent fighters look really bad.

      If he was with Don King he might have gotten a belt, if you remember King was lining up his fighters with belts right before Tyson got out.

        Arreola wouldve been a contender back then as he is now, just with alot more competition to go up against. Everyone hates on this guy because he's pudgy, well id like to see you take a right hook to the dome from this guy and see you call him pudgy after that. This guy is serious, he's no ****ing joke!
