Chris Arreola is now a journeyman/ESPN status fighter

[infamous larryx]

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.

cruiserweight is one division under heavyweight..not embarrasing at all

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.

He didn't look good against Walker or Minto either.

People have to stop making excuses for this guy.

We all like his personality but that doesn't change the fact that he's an B-/C+ fighter.

[geribeetus]

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.

obviously you can say it, but it's not true.

if he loses again then you'll be right.

Who cares how we classify the divisions? they could easily just create 1 or 2 more between HW and CW, would that real change the actual size difference? Arreolla should have steamrolled him with the advantages he had and failed badly.

Would it be more of an embarrassment if Gonzales the 105 champ beat Darchinyan just because he is 3 divisions higher than him?

I don't think so because its much less of a weight differential.

Arreola is horrible, but he's got a hell of a chin, an iron will, and some serious power, so he's not done yet.

Never said he was "done". Just done as a top hbo level fighter.

[pennywise]

Adamek would've tripled it in NJ.



He did get destroyed. I gave him 2 or 3 rounds max.

Fight wasn't even close. He got outclassed and outmaneuvered easily.

Uh ur a moron arreola won rounds 1,4,5,6 and lost the last 6 u make it seem like adamek outclassed him ,fat ass areola could kod adamek but his stamina was **** cause he's so fat even as slow as he was in rounds 456 he had adamek all over the ring,pushed back by slow ass jabs and had bambi legs once or twice.either way arreola is a huge let now he's a fatass disgrace never gets in shape,glad the inshape dedicated fighter won. Adameks conditioning and arreolas lack of any sort of conditioning allowed adamek to outwork and outland fat ass.

there's a difference between not being top hbo level and a journeyman, that's all i'm saying. i agree he's not champion material, but he'd still beat a lot of the top 10 guys right now.

[gibo]

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.

He was being protected, only NOW he got EXPOSED.

Adamek had the advantages?? What the hell you talking about??? Arreola is a true (and i mean a true) heavyweight. He outweighted Adamek by 30 POUNDS!!!!! Arreola is bigger than Adamek in every way!!!! Embarressing defeat to Arreola by a hand-picked opponant!!!! Lets see how he does in his next fight on ESPN.
