Chris Arreola is now a journeyman/ESPN status fighter

[Spray_resistant]

5000 fans is all he could muster in a town right next to his home city?

Pitiful.

Not to mention he lost pretty much every round to a blown up CW.

He's done.

I like him as a person, but his tenure as top level talent is over.

I agree he resides in journeymanville now, he was decisively beaten by a CW who he outweighed by over 30lbs.

I thought Chris only won about 3, 4 rounds at absolute most.

I have no problem with a give it all fighter like Arreola being a gatekeeper. Hes not the most skilled fighter around, but in order to beat him you're going to have to fight. Hes kinda like a HW Margarito.

Margarito was 3 time champion and top level WW for a decade.

The only similarities I see is their Mexicanity and their toughness.

you can't say that since we don't know what adamek might end up doing. losing to a potential beltholder doesn't make you a journeyman

[Black dude]

He needs a new trainer to get in that fat ass and make him run.
He has little skill and is a fat ass.
He is very delusional.
If he had ANY cardio at all he would have knocked Adamek out.
He was seriously hurting Adamek with just his jab.....but he is too much of a fat ass.
He looks like an amatuer out there swinging wildly.
I really like the guy but he seems like someone who is VERY bullheaded and wont listen.
He should either get serious about boxing or get out because he is going to get hurt.

Also.....ADAMEK.....I would advise you NOT to campaign at heavyweight anymore.....your too ****ing slow.
If you came into that fight around 205-210 you would have knocked him out.
At 217 your too heavy.
Look....I like you also but you got tagged WAY too much by Chris and he is very slow so think of what somebody with skill will do to you.
You could BARELY take those puches last night...you are going to get hurt.
Someone like David Haye would destroy you utterly.
Think about it.

Being so slow is not going to get either of you too the top.
Lose weight.

yea cause he lost to a heavyweight champion in vitali..and the forner undisputed cruiserweight champ ademek....damn its a shame when fighters lose this is what so called fans say

He got destroyed by Klitschko, dropped badly by travis walker, tagged badly by an undersized Minto and embarrassed by Adamek.

I can say it.

He ain't that good and never was. The "first Mexican HW champ" thing is old and invalid now.

That looks really bad when you consider the size difference and the fact that he is(was) a top 10 HW.

It would be like lets say Pascal losing to Pacquiao.

For now he is a journeyman level fighter until he can prove otherwise.

[Heeb]

Arreola still has a chance to prove his skill. He can't afford another loss right now though.

On a side note, it's funny how people were saying Arreola was being protected by fighting Adamek.

You're right. Arreola is still young, he's still a contender.

But as I said before, he need to choose his opponents more carefully in future, I still believe he can beat most other contenders. He should have gone after Valuev instead of Vitali last year.
