Haye v Arreola anybody?

[HattonTheHammer]

What are you talking about bigger faster stronger? Arreola is 6'4 and was 255 in his last fight, granted he wasn't in shape but he's pretty big and he has fast hands when he puts punches together.

so by that logic if arreola spent the next 2months in mcdonalds and bulked up to 375 he would absoloutely crush haye??

I dont particularly rate haye but i sure as hell dont think he`ll come up short against a guy who struggled agains travis walker!!

Hey Travis Walker looked very good before Arreola caught him a couple times. I think Walker could do well in the division if he's brought along properly. Sure Arreola needs to be in better shape, but let's not discredit his entire career just because he shows up fat from time to time.

Arreola isn't small in stature all I am saying, he's an average sized heavyweight at 6'4, he's tough, and he can punch. It's not a lock that Haye will easily handle him. It wouldn't be a lock that Haye would easily handle Travis Walker either...he's a big puncher with good straight right crosses, he's dangerous for anybody.

If Haye just relaxes and boxes clever and I don't think that Chris will give him much trouble.

If haye stands infront of him and tries to force a knock out then Nipple could maybe out fight or even catch him big if he's stupid.

If haye uses his mobility and speed then I don't see how he can loose, don't know how badly he'll beat Arreola though but I know that one way or another his hand will be raised as long as he's not a mug about it.

I don't think it's possible for Arreola to beat Haye. Not from what I've seen as of late. I'd have to think long and hard before picking Arreola over just about anyone. Even Rahman.

i think arreola could beat haye. hes been more active and haye hasnt had a fight in a while, and just cause hes in shape better than arreola means jack shit.

[Violent Demise]

Haye would come out fast. Land some shots. Maybe even stun Arreola. But that's it. He'll get caught. Go down. And he won't get back up. Arreola in 2. Haye has great speed for his size. But he ain't exactly hard to hit. The style in which he fights leaves him open. That's not going to change. He's not going to all of a sudden transform into Chris Byrd. He'll fight his fight. Create excitment. And get knocked out.

I wouldnt put money on Haye , lets face it he hasnt met a big puncher at HW yet , when he does i suspect he will be KOED.
But exciting he is thats for sure.

Whatever happened to the British Title When Audley was around that's all anyone ever talked about, why doesn't Haye get the same treatment?

Funny thing is every single poster has Haye beating Arreola. Yet, Haye has only fought one top 50 heavyweight. Does the confidence really stem from the differences in physiques?

Struggled? He knocked Travis Walker out in 3 rounds!

I don't particularly think Cris should have much trouble against a guy who struggled against Monte Barret!

If the fight came off, it would be one of the most exciting heavyweight fights in a long time.

Travis Walker is a domestic level heavyweight who almost stopped Areolae in the first round. Either guy is going to struggle anywhere above NABF level. Neither guy has a chance against Haye.

Almost stopped him?!?! He only knocked him down once....but you know who Travis Walker could stop DAVID HAYE

Areolae and Walker are just domestic level fighters. The only reason Areolae even gets mentioned for world title fights is that he's the only American HBO think the public will see as a credible opponent, he's the only one they can sell. When he eventually steps up he'll get beaten, he's just a big fat plodder.

[El Kabong]

Kirkland...at least Walker and Arreola are "domestic level fighters" AT HEAVYWEIGHT which is more than David Haye can say.

Also Cris Arreola gets mentioned for title fights because #1 He's undefeated and #2 He's fought his way up the rankings.....two things David Haye wouldn't know much about

[Rantcatrat]

I don't understand what makes Haye seem invincible? What are Haye's positives besides of course his tee-shirt making ability?

His most exciting wins were over a worn out Jean Marc Mormeck who had previously gone life and death with O'Neil Bell and Enzo Mac who was probably the most overhyped fighter ever in the cruiserweight division. And Mormeck put Haye down! If Mormeck can do it, how about a strong heavyweight?

Haye is also notable for having a rough time with 36 year old 5'9 1/2 Fragomeni (not a bad fighter but horribly outsized and much older) and being knocked out by Carl Thompson.
