I agree. If he could get in shape he could do some serious damage in the division. A 230lb Arreola would be a legitimate threat.
Re: We need a thread for Adamek vs Arreola *spoilers*
Despite being one of my favorite fighters at the moment I didn't think Adamek was going to be able to avoid Chris' big shots and pull off a win...boy did he prove me wrong tonight.

He's P4P top 10 now IMO, i know people say Heavyweight's can't be P4P. But he's moved up from Light Heavyweight so its different, plus Mike Tyson was P4P number 1 at one point.
3 titles in 3 weight classes? Arreola wasn't a title holder at HW if I'm not mistaken.
Good win for Adamek.

My bad just woken up i got a bit confused there, but my point still stands. For me he's top 10 P4P for sure.

Childish, comedic, and correct. Boxing is a cardio sport. Motherfunking weightlifters can't put that kind of weight on once their bodies have matured, never mind somebody who needs to do hours of cardio every day to do their sport. It's only been possible to do that and not look like a blimp since the advent of PEDs.

He makes people watch though. We'll miss him when he's gone. And if you still can't stand him you can enjoy him blowing his dough and getting kicked out of his house a few years after his career ends. :)

It is pathetic. I don't know how it could get to anyone, it is so juvenile. I spent half the episode yawning at Floyd. He needs new lines.

I don't know he's Polish. Have you been ever been to Poland? I have, it's really fucking backwards man, I doubt they have heard of whey protein over there let alone PEDS.
Re: We need a thread for Adamek vs Arreola *spoilers*
What the hell of a fight! Makes me to like Adamek even more, Chris face after the contest was just brutally mashed and We've seen that the Polish has the hell of a chin! If He can take all of Arreola's shots and fight back like a stinging bee, I am positive he would be the most interesting and spectacular match for Haye by far. Main Event, Golden Boy, it's your change to shoot another dose of adrenaline into the HW division!
Re: We need a thread for Adamek vs Arreola *spoilers*
So fatty Cissy Arreola is done, but it's not all bad. You've still got kirk johnson!!
Adamek should be in the mix now.

I'm on winning streak with Adamek...
I've picked him as the winner for every fight he's had since the Bell fight...
I would like to see him get a shot at either Klitschko cause I think he's worked himself up the rankings to get a shot.
I think he loses to both but he'd def. make it interesting.
Would like to see him fight a 1 or 2 more contenders someone like Odlanier Solis or even a shot at David Haye.
Re: We need a thread for Adamek vs Arreola *spoilers*
I guess I don't understand boxing because I thought Arreola totally dominated this fight, and I was rooting for Adamek. It seemed to me Arreola won 7-5 round-wise, and that's being genorous to Adamek. Adamek only started looking like the better fighter around the 7th round, by then it looked like Arreola had already done enough, and then Arreola came forward and kicked his ass some more in Round 10.
Granted Arreola was hurting bad and obviously tired (out of shape) towards the end. Adamek is a tough mofo...I was a little surprised he wasn't trying to knock Arreola out in the end, but then I didn't know (and Adamek did know) that Adamek was ahead on points.
But I just don't understand how Adamek won the decision. Are they counting all those low blows as landed punches? I guess maybe Adamek was landing more weak jabs then I counted....and maybe all those body jabs just added up. If Arreola is prepared to concede it then fine I guess.
