Is Arreola at age 35 the worst HW world title opponent ever?

You better give Chris credit when he knocks out Wilder.

The young, undefeated version of Arreola that Vitali fought, I'd pick to beat the current version of Wilder.

But Arreola is very faded - he used to have a good chin, but it's soft now.

Vaughn Bean and Joe Hipp come to mind right away.

The main reason he looked bad in his last fight is because he fought a sparring partner, and despite that disadvantage he got the win. Travis Kauffman knew Arreola's arsenal and timing; Wilder does not and will get KO'd.

Did Fred Kassi and Curtis Harper know Arreola's arsenal and timing as well?

You can't compare those fights because they weren't for the title. Because this is a title shot, Arreola is going to give it his all. Every title shot Arreola had, he put it all on the line and tried with every fiber in his being to win. This time Arreola's gonna win because stylistically Wilder can't beat Chris, only Klitschko and Stirverne can. Wilder can't do what those two fighters did.

Just remember to give Arreola credit after he flattens Beyonce Wilder.

Obviously shot.

Definitely one of the worst world title challengers of all time.

He's a crappy opponent. As for "worst ever", I'd have to do some research.

Many of the White hopes have been in the Arreola range of terrible. But these guys weren't used up like Arreola. Arreola before the Stiverne ko loss was a legitimate gate keeper type. Now he will be an opponent. If he fights on expect quick and brutal stoppage losses to prospects and fringe contenders on the comeback trail.
