Comments Thread For: Steward: Arreola is a Great Fall Opponent For Wladimir

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Legendary corner man Manny Steward thinks that heavyweight contender Chris Arreola would be "a great opponent" for Ukrainian WBO, WBA, IBF and IBO titlist Wladimir Klitschko, the man Steward trains, perhaps in the fall. On Saturday night Arreola (33-2, 28 knockouts) won a ten round unanimous decision over journeyman Friday Ahunanya (24-7-3, 13 KOs) at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. In doing so, Arreola secured his fourth victory of 2011.

Recently? This has been going on for a while, just that it ain't an American HW reaping in the benefits.

I just wanna see somebody recklessly charge Wladimir so people can see the devastating results.

i don't blame the klits at all,but if even wlad's trainer has to publicly overrate his own clients opponents it must be getting really sad. arreola is definitely not a definition of 'great'.

Which would be Wladimir taking their heads off.

FALL is the right word, since Arreola would do a lot of falling in that fight.

lol. Arreola can continue to lose weght, hes just beating up club fighters.
let him beat 2 top 20 fighters or one top 10, then fight wladamir.

ppl like helenius deserve a shot more, but manny knows arreola will be more lucarative (despite beibg 5th best heavyweight in usa) after chambers thompson, toney, holyfield

Areola is still the same fighter as always, only difference he lost some weight.
Hes an entertaining brawler and funny guy but skill wise he has not improved.

Arreola can help Wlad get dressed for a fight but that's as close as Arreola deserves to be. Chris is not a class fighter just a club fighter. nice guy but doesn't have it. sad fight chris and Wlad. should not be allowed.
