Chambers looked solidly overweight in his fight against Peters. There is no denying that.
Sig bet if it happens? It is a logical fight actually. Chambers is coming off his biggest victory and Arreola is coming off of a big one. I'll take that any day of the week.
There is no denying that Arreola has many flaws and some of that is due to his weight. But, I stick by that he is always entertaining. He could fight Sultan Ibragimov and even if in loss, it would be an entertaining scrap. Moreover, he is probably the best Mexican American heavyweight ever.
He should stay way from the Klitschkos at least for another fight or two and meanwhile come down gradually in weight to 240. Chambers is a good fight for him.
McCline was retired and was offered a good amount of money to come back and fight Chris. He was there to collect a check as soon as things didnt go so well. He made an effort early on but he had that look of, well that enough for me when he was knocked down. He could have beaten the count but what would be the point. Just listen to the post fight interview he knew he was there to made Chris look good.

I don't know...
Heavyweights have more leeway to move up and down in weight to suit the particular need. Arreola's coming in at 250+ didn't exactly hurt him against McCline, who came in at 270+ himself. Against a better, lighter, faster opponent, yes...... Arreola had better come in around 230-ish.
Man I thought it was funny they showed the Joe Frazier and Ali fight documentary before these fat fuckks fought. That is what heavys are supposed to look like. These guys make a mockery of pugilism.

First thing Chris has to do is change his last name. It just ain't right to be named after part of a woman's tit.

My god the man has tits is what I first said then damn that man with tits is dropping bombs on Big Time. Impressed but not very impressed. He lunges entirely to much with the jab and leaves himself wide open for overhand right's all night long but he comes to fight.
I will say one thing I wish Haye throws the Klitschko contract away and sign's for Arreola. You want excitement this would be it and a perfect set-up to fight the champ. Not some cheap bullshit way on calling the champ out and getting a shot do to his big mouth. The public should push for this fight first being that Haye has fought no one in the heavyweight's worth anything. I would definetly go with Arreola by KO on that one. If everyone can see that these two need a few more fight's before fighting the Klitschko's. Don't you think they can see it as well? Oh well.
I give Cris credit for doing what he was supposed to do despite how fat he is...the guy USED to be a light heavyweight as an amateur and now he's a pig of a heavyweight. Sure he KO'd McCline, but what if Jameel hadn't been on the fence about retiring, what if he came to fight and took Cris the distance and even worse what if Jameel had pressured CrisCris is going to lose and soon, and it won't be because of skill as much as lack of training and taking fights seriously.....can you see him beating Wladimir when he comes in at 255?!?!?! I sure as hell don't! Wlad is in shape AND he's athletic enough to box circles around Arreola, who wouldn't last 5 rounds with Wlad unless he gets himself in better shape.
Eddie Chambers is fat because he has to be fat to be a heavyweight, he could easily fight at cruiserweight...but where is the money in that? I agree Eddie needs to work on his stamina, but bringing up more out of shape heavyweights only proves the points everyone is trying to make about why the division is so weak.
I agree with booze, no heavyweight PERIOD should look like Arreola or McCline did last night. They are supposed to be PRO athletes and they need to conduct themselves as such. You can run down the list of heavyweight champions and they have all been in great shape...even Old George Foreman, he was in better shape at age 45 than either of those guys in the ring last night and Evander Holyfield at age 45 is in better shape than those guys right now.
I want to say that fighters should get fined for coming into fights out of shape, but defining what "in shape" and "out of shape" is would be difficult....all I know is Cris is going to come across a fighter who will take the fight seriously and he's going to lose
