Thread: Chris Arreola vs David Haye = Slugfest

Please let this fight happen what a slugfest this would be, Arreola has good handspeed especially with the combinations, and has good power and keeps on coming, and Haye has good boxing skills and is just knocking everyone out. The best fight at Heavyweight that can happen.

Would like to see it. Haye is obviously much faster, more athletic, more technical but who knows, if Arreola can take his punches and keep coming well see about Haye's chin.

Great matchup, I'd love to see either in with Sam Peter as well.

Congrats on becoming a MOD bro as for your comments i agree, i think Arreola is one of those tough guys that could withstand a good beating. And comeback to stop his opponent late on, Arreola is also pretty quick handed aswell and can hit i think he could beat Haye in war.

Bilbo i would love to see Peter vs Haye or Arreola, i think if promoters start setting up this action packed Heavyweight fights. We would get more interest in Heavyweight division, because i know i'll certainly watch any of the fights mentioned in this thread.

Maybe a bit unfair here but I think Arreola took a small step sideways.Off his biggest career win and with huge,no pun intended,momentum.....he comes waddling into the ring so slobbish.I know he has had a bit of a ponch problem but come on man,that really says a lot.He will have to go rounds as he steps it up when his power is not enough and better carry himself in top form along the way.That said.....If he catches Haye early,I think he flattens him

Am I the only one who thinks Haye would spark out Arreola inside of 5?

I think Arreolas too slow and his punches are to wide, Hayes more compact and I feel better up in skills then Arreola.

Depends on Arreola's chin really. He is sloppy.

Could be wrong, but have always heard Chris liked to party maybe a bit too much. Could be totally wrong about that, but it could have something to do with his weight. Or maybe he just likes to eat

If Arreola came in looking like he did last fight I think Haye could have a easy night.

If he trimmed down a bit, then it could be a war whilst it lasts

No, you're definitely not the only one.

I can see that happening. But I can also see Haye getting stopped early just as easily

That fight could go either way.

If you look at them both though I would have to say Arreola must have the better chin.

Haye is a pretty boy with his manicured goatee beard and his carefully groomed locks. He gets hit he gets hurt.

Arreola looks like the result of a crossbreeding betwee a man and a cave troll, his big squat nose, his huge neck and just thick squat appearance.

Looking at him he looks like you could hit him with a humvee and you'd just write your vehicle off.

I'd love to see the fight but if it came down to a trading of hammer blows I think Haye is getting smoked.

Haye can win the fight by keeping his distance and picking Arreola apart, but a toe to toe brawl with a mutual exchange of power shots would favour Arreola imo.

Never really been impressed by Arreola. I think his youth is allowing him to overwhelm limited plodders that are not comfortable having more than one or two punches per round thrown at them.

I can't confirm this.. but I think Haye and Arreola have sparred - Haye duffed him up.

By can't confirm do you mean a reliable source told you or you made it up?

I may have got my wires crossed.

If i made it up i'd have made it far more entertaining.

Completely agree here...
