Wow, it's amazing that people view Arreola in such a negative way now when just a while ago people were positive he would beat Wladimir Klitschko and maybe beat Vitali (very few people thought that).

I just think it's a disgrace the way he comes in to fight at 250+ and 260+...he said "I always come to fight" but hell Butterbean always "came to fight" but nobody confused him with a professional boxer, he was just a Toughman winner and Cris is getting closer to being that. Right now Cris is wasting his life by fighting out of shape....you can be fat later just look at Tyson and Duran!
I don't know, I'm sure outside the USA nobody expected anything of him. He's just another Sam Peter type imo, maybe would have troubled Wlad a few years ago but not any more. I can see him being in some entertaining fights but against either Klitschko I don't expect anything.

Having said that there isn't a fighter on the horizon that I can see even forcing Vitali into second gear. He's probably the most dominant champion in any weight class imo, as he can't fight his brother.

Any fight that Vitali is in is for me just a routine 'turn up and knock them out in a rather dull way' type event.

I can't even see him being extended, let alone close to being beat.
