You look like shit and your not taking the responsibility of being a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE seriously.

I know Arreola has came in decent shape in his last few fights, but seeing guys like Ruiz and Solis coming in at just over 6 feet and pushing 280lbs... it's like what do you expect to accomplish in this sport? Do you think you're going to stand a chance against a legitimate athlete like Wlad, Wilder, ect?

TBTH... these is no excuse for Solis. He just won't stay in shape. He has been in shape before, but like all of the other Cubans aside from Rigondeaux, he just can't stay away from the burgers and whoring around.

With Andy Ruiz, it will not get any better than that. He will never be chiselled, which makes it hard for us to gauge when he is REALLY in tune for a fight vs. just the regular Andy Ruiz. But he has never gassed in a fight... so, we have to just let his train run it's course.

As for Arreola, same as Ruiz but to a smaller degree. Arreola is really a Supermiddleweight/Lightheavyweight that just got to big. If Arreola were to REALLY get into shape, he can be a very solid Supermiddle or a premium LH.

I think there are fat guys that are in good shape, Andy Ruiz included, but it goes beyond not gassing, at just over 6 foot and 270lbs, the mobility is not going to be there. So sure, he'll do good against slow plodders and guys who just stand and bang, but against true athletes like Wlad and Deontay, who can move, dodge in and out, and punch with lighting speed, they are just sitting ducks.

The worst was Chris Arreola, who got the big fight of his life with Vitali in front of a home town crowd, a fight that could have propelled him into super stardom... and he showed up fat over 250lbs and got picked apart by an athlete who takes his condition seriously.
