Cris Arreola he puts the HEAVY in heavyweight

[VictorCharlie]

Maybe if Chris gets iced he will realize he needs to get off his fat ass and lose some weight...Nothing like humility to motivate.

Arreola should weigh 235-240. He is taller and naturally bigger than Povetkin who weighs 230. At a certain point, the extra weight must slow him down. It isn't alarming because he has fought above 250 before and wasn't gassed. Maybe tonight McCline will take him the distance and we'll see whether the extra weight hurts Arreola.

You shouldn't single out Arreola. McCline weighed 271! That is ridiculous even if you are 6'6. And Sam Peter weighed 265 for his fight against Eddie Chambers - Sam Peter is 6'2!!! Eddie Chambers himself weighed 225 and is 6'1!

Lyle, if you have such intense hate for Arreola, how about a sig bet?

I seriously hope Mccline knocks the crap out of Arreola. He is not even a champion yet and he already has Bowe habits. But at least Bowe won the heavyweight championship before he let himself go. I think Chris Arreolla's 15 minutes are almost up because it seems the more money he makes the bigger his stomach is getting and it is a matter of time before it catches up to him.

I was really dissapointed to hear that Arreola weighed in at 255 last night. I thought for sure he was gong to be taking this fight seriously and he was going to shed some serious pounds. I guess not very very sad to see this.

I gotta go with my Riverside homie.

Arreola by brutal KO.

[Spicoli]

Simultaneous KO anyone ??McCline used to draw oohs and awes with size but his chest over lapped his stomach then.Now its reversed.

Arreola.... I seriously want to believe he'll do well in progression but am realizing more so in every fight that he just dont give a f!!!k.He's all emotion,raw strength and frontal power living fight by fight and will sink or swim by KO.Exciting yes but will burn fast.Just not committed to a long term career.

The difference is Arreola is an up and comer. McCline is nearly 40 and on the way down. Plus McCline has fought around 270 his entre career. Hes just a very large man.

[Majesty]

I don't like Arreola's frame of mind if he said "I need to be in better shape for my next fight"

That pretty much means he didn't give it his all in training camp because in his mind he thinks he is gonna walk through Jameel McCline. He is already looking ahead to his next fight and overlooking McCline. McCline may only be a gate keeper but he is not someone you overlook

[No Contest]

This will be Arreolas toughest fight to date, I wouldn't be surprised if McCline wins because he is the better boxer and could win if he jabs. I got a feeling this will be another slugfest early, but may turn to a holdfest looking at the condition of both these guys. This is a pickem for me.

Tell that to Sam Peter, David Tua, James Toney, Shannon Briggs and James Kirkland


Rantacrat, if you look at my second post, I give props to the hand full of heavyweight fighters who care enough about their careers to come to a fight in shape...I don't just dog on Arreola and the only reason I get on him is because he DOES have potential and he COULD be a champion but he's never in shape and when was the last time we had a great or even a good heavyweight champion who didn't get in good shape before his bouts Butterbean never won a heavyweight title...David Tua wasn't all that good as a title holder...even when Mike Tyson didn't train for a fight he at least looked like he was in shape, he didn't look like he just finished a pie eating contest.

Old George Foreman is I guess the only dude you could point out who didn't look like he was in great shape but he was 45 years old!!!! And hell he's still in better shape than most of the heavyweights out there considering his age....Holyfield is around 45 now and he's in GREAT shape, he always has been.

It's just disrespectful to have a fight where fans pay their money to see 2 PRO fighters fight hard for 10-12 rounds and they show up looking like the God Damn Stay Puft Marshmellow Man
