The fans of the WBA title holder (the overwhelming majority are British) will not allow ANY criticism of him and instead try to divert attention to mocking Wladimir's style or how bad the division is or how much Cris Arreola weighs.....yeah I know Arreola is a lard ass but he won't back down from a scrap and that is a FACT.
I'm not a big Arreola fan, yes he's a fat slob, and yeah I knew he offered little to nothing vs Vitali and really I doubt he'd have done any better vs Wladimir. But I don't doubt the heart the guy has...he may lack the dedication to be in 100% tip top shape, but he is as blood and guts of a fighter as they come. Despite being fat Arreola is still a decent fighter...he's dumb and always just tries to outslug a fighter rather than box, but he's a tough customer and you can't doubt his tenacity.
So what so the WBA title holder looks like a fitness model big fucking deal....what good are all those muscles if he has no spine? That guy backed out of MULTIPLE fights with the Klitschko's, fights the Klitschko's didn't even have to offer him (because the dude had proven nothing in the heavyweight division at the time) and what does he doHe gets "injured" because his tv station was bankrupt and then when the Klitschko's offer him another fight he fights Valuev (the EASIEST title fight out there). Honestly, I don't know how anyone supports that chicken.
The Ruiz fight is 1 I do give the guy credit for, but 9 rounds....I figured he would have stopped him in 5 or less if he was truly a dangerous heavyweight. I know for a fact Arreola would have stopped him sooner.
