Gotta say I think he does deserve it, he is a good HW and one of the only ones I can consider legit in this bad HW division we currently have.
I think he'd be a good world champion too.

He is my pick for American contender if you ask me!!
Why? Hes lost everytime hes stepped up in class. Id like to see how he does against Tony the TigerQuote:

It's why Boxing has always been the Great truth-teller.
He better drop his burrito if he wants to hold a title. Only way he can hold one right now is if he borrows one from somebody.
"Everytime he steps up in class he's lost"..
He lost 3 fucking fights! I think he could have beaten Tomasz Adamek should he been properly prepared, I think he would have beaten and will beat Bermane Stiverne. As for Vitali Klitschko, who the hell COULD beat him??
Show me an American boxer more rounded and seasoned as Arreola??
Wilder, Jennings? I don't think so!!
I reckon if he comes in at 235lbs Arreola can produce.
I don't think he could beat Wladimir but I give him the best chance and he would produce the best fight. It will go the distance at the least.
When was the last time Wlad faced someone with the height, weight, power, speed, skill, chin, stamina and aggression all combined as Arreola??
Arreola deserves what he has got which is not a world title. He is best when he is busy and active but he would make a poor champion. Better heavyweights have never won the title.
I agree Arreola is going to beat Stiverne..
The boy got heart, I can say that much..
First time I saw Arreola live was back in 2007 when he fought on the undercard of Paul Williams-Margarito at the Home Depot Center..
He was a prospect at the time and after he knocked out some bum, I remember him sitting near ringside and dude was getting some bitches.. Foo had like 4 Latina hoochies all up on him..
A few names??Quote:

Ruddock, Norton, ....Quote:

He deserves a chance to fight, on more than one occasion, for a HW title. If anyone out there deserves title shots its Arreola. On my Mama!Quote:

Moreover I don't place anywhere near the stock of an Ali win as you do and Chris Arreola would NEVER lose to a joke like Earnie Shavers!
Honestly Ken Norton would never survive a round with Chris!
Razor Ruddock- Yeah fair call he was an also ran that could have but I don't see how he rates any better than Arreola! I think Chris and Razor would have had a terrific fight! Very evenly matched.
If Arreola can win a title then he deserves it ;D until then he don't ;)
Arreola deserves to hold a title. No.Quote:

he has heart, but he's not skilled at all. nor focused enough to be in top shape.
Oh shit, my bad fellas.
You seem to have confused my statement with an open question.
He deserves it and that's final :)
(Sorry I have a terrible habit of starting threads and then never actually going back to them)
Batman!
Yes he lost 3 times to the only guys hes faced who was good. yea he could have done this but he didnt. I think Wilder would destroy himQuote:

but arreola has had chances to prove himself worthy but has lost to fighters who he should have beaten which shows that he isnt as serious about the sport as he should be.
What is Arreola's best win :confused: McCline? Mitchell? :p very deserving :rolleyes:
Fair call, he might destroy him. But I don't think so. I think it would be Wilder who gets destroyed.Quote:

No skills you say. He looks pretty fucking skilled to me when he wants to be. All this subtle shit you guys sprout about old time heroes when we're talking about that and you cannot see skills in Arreola.Quote:

Underrated HW in this regard and good potential.
I'm not insisting on Arreola being the best of the alternative crop but he's my fan favourite and I'll back him in your little prediction contest :) If not I'll be here like a big boy to eat crow!! =P
