Arum is a disgrace to boxing
Bob Arum who use to promote Lard ass Butterbean and charges PPV for fight cards that are headlined by bums like JCC Jr has some balls trash talking Arreola. At least Arreola gives the fans some action not like Jr. who puts you to sleep with his predictable style. LMAO! Well I'm glad that Goosen had this to say to Bobby;

Re: Arum is a disgrace to boxing
I'm no defender of Arum but he is right in critisizing the condition of Arreola and McCline. They were like whales marooned on a beach. Ugly stuff.
The Wright: Williams fight was a good one though so he should keep quiet about that. I don't know why anybody wouldn't want to watch it.
Re: Arum is a disgrace to boxing
Miles - it may have been ugly, but do you prefer watching Klitschko v. Ibragimov or Valuev v. Holyfield or Chambers v. Peters? I don't.
Forget pound-for-pound -- These guys are the most exciting - ESPN - Arreola listed as one of the most exciting fighters to watch (the only heavyweight on the list).

All that wobbly stuff is worrying. Otherwise, he does throw punches and comes to fight, so not all bad. Just the weight issues for me.

JCC Jr might not be a world beater or anything, but when is he in a boring fight? it's not worth PPV, but he's by no means boring, Arum does start with stupid shit every once in a while, but to be honest he does more good than bad, he has a great eye for talent and when it comes to getting fights made 9 times out of 10 he goes all out to get them made

Re: Arum is a disgrace to boxing
I think Arum had a valid point with Arreola and McCline.Think hes more or less voicing frustration as American Heavys have been slim pickings last number of years.Maybe slims a bad choice.Not a fan of JCC jr but his last fight was pretty damn exciting.
Re: Arum is a disgrace to boxing

agree, not to sound completely negative, but the truth is American Heavies for the most part now are crap, and i think that it's due to more interest in other sports, such as football and basketball
Re: Arum is a disgrace to boxing
There is a point about how out of shame American HWs are, but his comments in general just showcase what a gigantic piece of shit, who is he to try play down Paul Williams & Winky Wright? Good on Goosen for telling it how it is
