4. Cris has had a resurgence of late, he's on a winning streak, he's fighting often.
5. Cris has looked better and done better in training recently getting his weight as low as 234 in a recent fight
Out of the fighters listed let's be honest, he's the ONLY guy (bar Vitali) at heavyweight that can threaten Wlad with his power and take his punches for 12 rounds. Out of the guys that have beaten Wladimir 2 have beaten Wlad by weathering the storm of punishment and being able to give back punishment when Wlad got tired. That said Arreola would be a huge underdog, but he's the only guy that has a style that in the past has troubled Wladimir.
....other than him....and this is VERY sad....Evander Holyfield is the only other guy that can take the punishment, although James Toney may have been able to take it for a while too....they would both just get slaughtered because they lack power and their age has caught up with them.
