Deontay Wilder vs. Chris Arreola

[J_Undisputed]

There was a time that Arreola was fit and could box

When was this when he was in the amateurs?

Close! He was a very underrated boxer when he was an amateur. He debuted at heavy professionally, so as he was able to knock people out early in his career he stopped boxing. I was looking for early footage but the earliest i found was 2006. He was great but there was probably a very small window where he remembered how to box and had the fitness to make it work for him. Its kinda sad that the only thing he's remembered for now are his moobs.

True, it is easy to forget that Cris was a LIGHTheavyweight 178 lbs as an amateur....he was a very promising fighter and obviously his power was pretty epic at that weight as well. It is a shame he wasn't dedicated enough to stay at a healthy weight. I think a Cris Arreola that was 215-225 would have been a title holder regardless of how big his opponents were. Not only did he get heavy around the middle his hands got heavier and his feet got heavier....he's the Chicano version of David Tua IMO.
