Mathis was a real cutie, but he couldn't punch... If he can turn Arreola the whole night, he wins a landslide victory 120-108... But Arreola, if nothing else (and there ain't nothing else), can punch pretty well and it's doubtful that he'd get anymore than stung by Mathis's biggest shots,... Maybe he can walk through it and break him down? Gun to my head, I'd pick the fast fatty in Mathis by decision
@ heavyweight, right? If its at 175 I pick Arreola by hypoglycaemic induced coma over Mathis, who dies during training camp, with Arreola being declared winner by whatever Court is acting as his Ward at the particular point in time.
Mathis was a Cutey, like McDogg Stated, but he was Also TOUGHER than his Exterior Led you to Believe...Mathis Went Late Rounds & Even Lasted the Distance w/BETTER Punchers than Arreola, in REED's Opinion...Mathis SCHOOLS Arreola for the Most Part, Swells him Up, Cuts him & Survives a Late Round Scare or 2 to Win a VERY Clear UD...
Mathis looked very fat but very strong too, and well proportioned. He was a big fat man, as opposed to a fat big-man. Buster, like Roy Jones, was talented enough to play semi-pro basketball games the same day he had a fight!!!
I'd say he was a fat big fat big fat man that was too fat to compete with the other big men of his era, in fact.
