    Default Tony Thompson-Cris Arreola...anyone interested?

    Arreola looked fat and sloppy vs Brian Minto (great fight by Minto though big heart on that fella). I have no clue how Thompson looked but I know he's quality, he's consistent, he's got solid defense and a good jab, I think he's BIG trouble for Arreola.

    They have called each other out in their post fight press conferences as well.

    I think Tony would beat Arreola by decision. Tony spars with the Klitschkos and is a pretty slick fighter.....He would keep Arreola at bay and pepper him throughout the fight..........

    Arreola is done, he has no discipline and to be a great fighter you cant just rely on natural ability and experience, you have to stay in shape.....to come into this last fight heavier than when he fought Vitali is not a good sign.

    I agree, I think Tony Thompson is all wrong for Arreola. Cris talked smack about Thompson getting KO'd, but then again Cris didn't last the distance either.

    Thompson lost to Wlad but he has been consistent since then winning his fights and staying in relatively decent shape 240-250 which he carries well. Cris Arreola has obviously learned NOTHING about being in shape or being a PROFESSIONAL fighter instead of a big fat disgrace

    I said something similar last night after the fights. While I find neither fighter overly impressive, I think Thompson would outbox Arreola pretty handily.

    Its a sad claim to make but I think Tony Thompson might well be the world's third best heavyweight.

    He's tall, disciplined, organised and efficient in what he does. He beats Arreola, Valuev, Chagaev, Haye and Povetkin imo.

    I'm hoping Odlanier Solis turns out to be good as I can't see anybody giving either Klitschko a decent fight for a long time to come.

    But yeah Thomspon handles Arreola imo.

    As good as Thompson is at times he does lack confidence. Cris Arreola hasn't slipped too far but he seems to be edging closer and closer to irrelevance.

    I have high hopes for Povetkin and Solis, but I really think they will disappoint.
