i think

wilder brings MUCH needed excitement to the drag hw division. Hopefully he can make some noise(he's made a lil bit vs b/c level guys) vs the top guys. If arreola and him fight, dont blink...same thing with stiverne. I'd really like to see jennings in that mix too!

I kindly ask all people who are rooting for Wilder (BoxingScene included) to wait until he works out his legs...

I get you there. Those skinny legs are his weak spot. Being top heavy like that, if he takes a good shot, his legs may betray him. Also if he did develop his legs as much he has his upper body, his power would be even greater. That being said, I hope he's not using PEDs.

Arreola has basically lost the three times he significantly upped the quality of opposition. He beats all of the gatekeepers and most of the contenders in the division, but he's never going to be among the elite.

I don't know, Chris sure looked great against Seth Mitchell, whom many thought would be the next big thing in the heavyweight division. I always thought Arreola's biggest problem was his lack of dedication when it came to his physical fitness. If he's finally made up his mind to stay in shape, he may yet be a force.

Dancing around the issue won't bring the highest action fight... that would answer alotta questions in probably alot less than 10 rounds. Bring on Wilder/Arreola.
