      Not at all.

      As much as i respect Wlad klitschko and his long reign and he deserves respect for what he gave to boxing. But he had a pretty good run at fighting a pretty bad bum of the month during his reign. Arreola was better than those dudes.

        Leapai wasn't much good, but he's more like a PRIME Arreola than a faded one.

        Oquendo is really bad, but was somehow a mandatory.

        Botha was never great, but he was prime and better than Arreola.

        Jefferson was at least dangerous, he had a big punch.

        Shufford was prime and had never been stopped.

          Daddy Al knows his hypejob can't possibly beat a top Heavy.

          Pulev, Povetkin, Jennings, Ortiz, Haye, even Bryant Jennings would be opponents he needs to face. Is he fighting one of the better guys or will he be feasting on bums until he can cash out vs Joshua or Fury?

          Look at Arreola's last 6 fights, ONLY ONE legit Win. Failed a drugtest in his last fight and still gets a fight.

          Hating on Povetkin who got cleared by WADA and now Wilder is fighting the fat, shot guy who got banned for a failed drugtest.

              Scott beat Leapai.

                And he'd even more easily beat current shot Arreola.

                  Mormeck was a used up cruiserweight that got a title shot off a gift decision over Oquendo was worse. Charles Martin shouldn't have been fighting for a title either.

                    Fat, faded, no longer has a strong chin, slower, weaker. Struggled (arguably LOST) against a clubfighter recently. Tested positive for banned substance.

                    Why didn't Deontay Wilder find someone better, even if it meant waiting another couple of weeks until someone decent is ready?
                    Are you kidding me Tunney?

                    I don't expect this kind of ignorance / trolling from you....

                    we JUST got through an undisputedly worse one in Martin.....where were you for this?

                      Mormeck was not a good HW world title challenger, nearly as bad as 2016 Arreola.

                      I think Martin would beat the current (shot) version of Arreola.
