Arreola vs. Haye

[Hunter]

I would definitely be interested in the fight. I would favor Haye. Haye is a better athlete and is faster than Arreola. I also think the Vitali beating is going to have a lasting effect on Crissy........Arreola will be on a down hill slide from here on in.....

I see it going similar to Haye v Fragomeni.

Exactly my thoughts man, except I would consider Arreola superior to Fragomeni, not to mention more powerful. Would I be right in remembering that Haye was wobbled in that fight?

[El Kabong]

If Cris can take Haye's power (it's different taking SPEED as opposed to taking pure power) providing it carries up to heavyweight. I think Haye wears down under the pressure and Arreola stops him.

But this will depend on how #1 Haye handles Valuev #2 Cris rebounds from this loss

Prior to the Vitali fight I would say Haye. Because Cris didn't even show up in shape for the Vitali fight the biggest of his career it's kind of like he would slack and have his "beer" because he was counting on his talent and his power to carry the day regardless of what kind of shape he showed up in. And if he did that against Haye I'd pick Haye to beat him. But after that loss to Vitali I think it did something to him maybe it flicked on a light in his head that he needed to go on and commit himself to boxing. So if this loss does what I think it will to Arreola and motivate him to commit to boxing and he starts coming into fights at 230 and 225 like he should then I would say he has a big big chance to beat Haye and stop him and it would be a great fight regardless.

Haye would back out of the fight 2 weeks before it happens

Arreola will never be the same fighter again. He did his best then quit. He looked very slow and his punches were ponderous, his jab was awful for the most part. His chin held up and he took some great shots.

Before this fight he had motivation problems in the past - prefering the fridge to training. His heart got broken last night and he will not be back as a major player.

I don't believe that the Arreola who fought last night would have any joy against David Haye and after last night he has even less chance.

I hope I'm wrong and Arreola dedicates himself and learns as he is a good character to have in the Heavyweight mix but I see that loss as a career ending one - similar to Lacy when Calzaghe battered him.

I dunno, I think he could come on. As good as Vitali was, I saw mistakes & openings that he wasn't making before. I honestly think Arreola needed more seasoning after McCline, maybe a fight against a former world champ like Maskaev or Rahman. Before the fight, I thought Arreola had no chance, but now I honestly think a good technical fighter with bang could get through & I think if Arreola had more experience against a guy who's been at the top level (even in this era) than he might have made a go of it, plus another 4 or 5lbs shaved off would have done him a world of good. Still for me NOBODY beats Wlad, certainly not his bro, of that I am now convinced.

* Oh yeah & I think Arreola breaks him down after a fight in which they're both down. Haye is the better technical fighter, but I'm just not seeing his chin hold up against the power punchers at HW
