Has anyone seen him fight, and could he become the Mexican heavyweight hero?

Thomas Hayes is not decent..if you check his boxrec you will see very few fighters he has fought who have winning records. That is a very padded 26-2. The win means nothing.

I seen Arreola fight twice. Looked a little sloppy to me both times, and despite his high KO percentage he doesnt have much power. He is mostly beating up on nodbody's

Who can say in a couple years. He has good size and alright speed but he hasnt fought any good opposition yet
People,

I wrote a decent opponent. This is not the same as a decent fighter. Get over yourselves....

Most up and coming prospects fight the same retreads with 8-26-4 records. The fact that he's at least fighting someone who knows how to win and has beaten a couple of decent opponents himself should be applauded.

He's also fighting every other month which is a fair clip nowadays too.

He blew straight through Hayes so he stays on course. With the right marketing he could be a player in the division in the years to come. Mexican-US Heavyweight power puncher is like a white heavyweight in the 80's
