Then how come he could not handle Frazier then? A VERY poor mans Arreola!

Ok so let's take a look at Joe Frazier's career at a glance..
Frazier was blind on left eye his entire professional career (after a training accident 1964) ("The pirate of the 4 corners of the world"). He would pass medical exams by covering his left eye and then switch his arm to cover his left eye AGAIN. Such a handicap as Frazier wouldn't be allowed to box nowadays.
Height: 5'11'.5" (BOTTOM-2 of Wladimir Klitschko's opponents)
Started as a cruiser 197 lbs. Median weight 204 lbs. Klitschko NOT ONCE fought anyone as light as that.
Median weight of Frazier's KO'victim: 197 lbs (cruiser)
Career record (all fights): 32-4 (not too impressive)
Career record real heavyweight fights 200×2 lbs: 13-4 (pathetic)
Career record real superheavyweight fights 215×2 lbs: 1-2 (non-existent)
That would be Frazier's real superheavyweight experience when facing Klitschko. Wladimir Klitschko faced 7 opponents that had so little 215+ experience (at the very beginning of his career) and he KO'ed them all within 4 rounds.
Frazier ducked/never fought some of the better+hard punching boxers of his time like Sonny Liston, Mac Foster, Earnie Shavers, Ken Norton, Cleveland Williams.
That's Frazier, the fighting machine! The one who dealt Ali his first and comprehensive career loss. And your telling me what would amount to a virtual tomato can today could do this to Ali but Chris Arreola, a menacing top contender today could not? 6 fight green and career bum cruiserweight Leon Spinks could, but Arreola could not? I'm not convinced at all!
I think, pretty reasonably with careful assessment, Arreola KO Ali. 60's version quick, 70's version a more slow painful death!
I like Arreola. Maybe Stiverne will get him the second time too but I hope Chris gets revenge. As for you bringing up the past warriors again, forget Klitschko, Chris would give them all they could handle.

Arreleo is fat, Ali is fit get your facts right.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
