The hell? HBO bought into Arreola because he was an exciting fighter that attracted crowds and the fans liked. You don't have to be able to beat Klitschko to deserve network time/fans/paydays.
Arreola's fights are always fun and exciting, win or lose. Why didnt this clown write a big ass article about Molina or Pianeta or not deserving a title shot?Comment

Let me guess. Your next goofy a$$ statement will be something along the lines of, "Chris is among the best heavyweight club fighters to never win a title!!"Are you insane?
All of this talk about Arreola losing every time he steps up is nonsensical. As if there is some special level in the sand or something.
He's only ever lost to 3 ****ing fighters!
He went the distance with the jack rabbit and did alright anyway there. He nearly and could have if he jeaopardised his health gone the distance with Vitali too, losing to which should not detract from ANY boxers worth at all.
And then we have Stiverne, whom he survived 9 rounds once with a broken nose and merely happened to get caught with a huge bomb again in the 2nd from which he couldn't recover.
In BOTH those Stiverne fights Arreola PROVED he could outbox him, he was doing just fine and looked good. Stiverne changed those fights with a single hard shot.
We don't even know if Wilder could really beat a healthy Stiverne yet either anyway. There's no way Widler could take that shot that dropped Chris, that's for sure.Comment

Chris Arreola isn't the worst challenge for Wilder's title. IMO Arreola is levels above Molina, sure Arreola KO'd Molina in the 1st round before.
I reckon if Arreola comes in at 240-242lbs he would give a fair challenge against Wilder. I'm not asking Arreola to make 230lbs, but 240lbs isn't terrible. Much better than 260-262lbs.Comment

^Pretty much this.Chris Arreola isn't the worst challenge for Wilder's title. IMO Arreola is levels above Molina, sure Arreola KO'd Molina in the 1st round before.

In fact I'd go so far as to say that the Arreola that lost to Stiverne was much better than the Stiverne that Wilder beat.
Thereofre Wilder HAS NEVER FOUGHT AN OPPONENT AS GOOD AS ARREOLA!
I also hope he comes in at 240lbs. I think that's his optimum weight. He should never come in any finer.Comment

The main reason for his constant shots is the mexican pride of the sulaiman family. They want a first mexican heritage heavyweight champion bad. Until another big mexican american or pure mexican rises.
They will find a way to worm him into a shot.

Because Arreola continues to get repeat shots and final eliminators off th back of doing nothingThe hell? HBO bought into Arreola because he was an exciting fighter that attracted crowds and the fans liked. You don't have to be able to beat Klitschko to deserve network time/fans/paydays.

At this stage he'd get iced quicker than Molina. I don't see Chris going nine rounds with Wilder fighting like he has in his last two. Hell, I'm not even sure if he beats Molina anymore. He certainly wouldn't demolish him like last time.Chris Arreola isn't the worst challenge for Wilder's title. IMO Arreola is levels above Molina, sure Arreola KO'd Molina in the 1st round before.
