I'd pick Haye to knock Areolla's fat ass out. Too fast and skilled for him.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Put it this way! I'd put a whole years salary on Haye smashing Arreola to pieces. Haye has what it takes to destroy fat slobs like that in an instant. If he's the best you americans have got at HW then I truly feel sorry for you! In fact I'd put someone like Matt Skelton against Arreola.
Face it. He's a joke!
I ask anyone to look through Areollas record and not piss themselves at the people he's faced to get to where he is
It's hillarious and a proper who's who of absolute nobodies
And let's not forget that David had to go with the Barret fight because everyone else priced themselves out of facing him or simply didn't wanna face him because he's a live opponent.
Barret served his purpose though and now Haye is in position to fight for the title.

Haye is a guy who should beat Arreola but if Arreola could take his shots and stay on him it could be a different story.
I don't like Arreola and I do like Haye but its not like its out of the realm of possibility that Haye gets off to a big start, but Arreola hangs around and eventually wears him down.
Haye is starting to grow on me a little but even so, i don't even think haye himself inside knows if he can steamroll any of the top heavy's, so i sure as hell don't. I know he like to belive he can, but that is only good pre-fight. In the ring that's another thing. I couldn't say who would win whoever got hit first i guess. Both would be capable of winning this fight.
Hidden Content Click clack ! Give up the purse.........or yetti will find you.
Explain how Haye has shown you more than Arreola as a heavyweight boxer.
Arreola won the 2001 national golden gloves in the 178 pound class.
His record isn't padded anymore than any other heavyweight. He has had 25 fights. After fighting against journeymen in his first 15 fights, he stepped up his competition. In his last 10 fights, other than Cliff Couser (who he knocked out in 1 round and Derek Berry who he knocked out in 1 round), his opponents have a combined 200 wins and 6 losses. Of those ten, two fighters retired after being knocked out by him. His knockout percentage is 90% and out of 26 fights, he knocked out 23 of his opponents.
Again, he ain't the second coming, but he isn't half-bad. Why the hate? He has an entertaining personality. He is loud. Exciting. He is pretty likeable. I just don't get it.
Speaking of David Haye...
Who has David Haye beat besides Jean Marc Mormeck and Giacobbe Fragomeni? (Mormeck is formidable. No doubt.)And his biggest victory at heavyweight is Monte Barret?
Thus, it is baseless to assert that Haye would steamroll through Arreola. He hasn't fought that quality of boxer, or heavyweight, yet.
I'm not talking up Wlad like he's invincible, he definently has his flaws however NOBODY has the skill to expose them at this time.
Let's go through Wlad's losses....
Ross Purrity, Wlad was young (22) and thought he could KO everyone which he had done to all but 3 guys he had beaten up to that point. Not only was this fight the first in which Wlad had to go more than 8 rounds it was a 12 round fight! Wlad punched himself out, he didn't pace himself and part of what is to blame was his training which focused on lifting weights and cardio and almost no sparring.
Corrie Sanders, #1 Corrie is a southpaw #2 Corrie is a power puncher you don't usually fight that many southpaws and you damn sure don't fight that many power punching southpaws and pair that along with the disappointment with Lennox Lewis choosing to basically force Wlad to have a tune up fight to stay busy and Wlad wanting to make a statement he was reckless and careless and underestimated the danger that was Corrie Sanders who could have shocked ANYONE at that point in his career.
Lamon Brewster, having just changed trainers and trying too hard to impress everyone and not focusing on the task at had Wlad handed out a BEAT DOWN for 4 rounds to Lamon and honestly Wlad took some horrific shots in that fight and stayed on his feet. Wlad wasn't right mentally for the fight and wasn't really right until he fought Sam Peter because that was his "last shot" at that point in time it seemed as if he'd either beat Sam Peter or retire from boxing.
Now David Haye has shown up vs some bums and has beens and he's been floored an awful lot and he has also slept on some guys and done EXACTLY what Wlad did and punched himself out vs an old vet. Do I think Haye can beat Wlad the way Purrity and Brewster did? HELL NO !!! Haye MAY be able to shock Wlad with a good strong combination but honestly who has landed many combinations on Wladimir recently? And does Haye's power carry up?? Sure he KO'd Barrett and Bonin but those were the expected results AND Barret floored Haye!!!! I am sorry, I just don't see David Haye as any better as Sam Peter was when Wlad fought him and now since Wlad and Manny have built a good thing and Wlad is in a good state mentally that means Haye doesn't have much of a shot especially if he can't make the jab ineffective.
Haye hasn't fought a top 10 heavyweight and already you fanboys have him beating THE MAN of the division....can we say AUDLEY HARRISON?
Come on now. Haye was trying to get old ass, past his prime Hasim Rahman into the ring. Whoa! Big man. His people lied and low balled JD Chapman. And never even returned Kevin Johnson's calls. Nobody avoided Haye. But Haye said people did. And being the guliable person you are. You belived him.
Haye who i think has no shot v the Klits would hurt Arreola to slow and doesnt move his head he would be a sitting duck, anyway im certain Haye already beat up Areolla in sparring.
I honestly do not see Haye steamrolling Shiite at heavy weight.Does not seem to be in his nature as of yet.Mentally,its a no contest.Arreola wants to get in your space and beat your ass until you are spitting your teeth into the bucket.Haye would have to box,Keep Arreola off in a laying back mode ala Chris's first round with Walker.He was hit ugly in that 1st but when it is all said and done, I'll take Arreolas strength, physicality and willingness over Hayes.I think Haye at one point or another would have to step in,stand in,and trade.Dude may be a fleshy heffer,frustrates me as all hell with his Taco bell fetish,but these are legit primed heavyweights now......except Barret of course,entirely different ball game for Haye.
