http://www.thering-online.com/ringpages/ratings2.html Either his record or his skills are rated higher by Ring Magazine than those of Alex Povetkin. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
:doh: I wanted to post the link to his record. Bascially Malcolm Tann and Sedrick Fields. :: :: http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=212248
Damn, are they accepting bribes now?:: That's a nobody. I guess he looks very good when you see him live, that's the only justification I could see behind this ranking. Did you ever see him fight?
I've seen him fight and I think he's terrible. He just rushes in there and bangs away like a maniac. No technique, no skill. He can wear down an overwhelm a journeyman, but it won't work against any good heavyweight.
I actually saw him live the night before the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight at the Palms. Nothing special.. As a matter of fact, he and Eddie Chambers both fought on that card, and I walked out depressed thinking those 2 are the future of American HW's.. And I think the 'American' thing is the reason the Ring placed him in the Top 10. They couldn't live with Chris Byrd being the only representative. However, McCall, Brewster, Brock and Rahman are all far more deserving Americans at this point. Hell, so is Tony Thompson for that matter..
Arreola WON'T Amount to Much... Earlier N his Career,Arreola Fought a Cat Out of Dallas Named Domonic Jenkins...Jenkins is HALF WAY Decent @ Best...The Type of Guy that a WORLD CLASS Heavy Shouldn't have Much Trouble w/... Put it this Way,when Kirk Johnson Spars w/Jenkins,the Class Difference is PALPABLE...Kirk's just on a Whole OTHER Level...That's as NICE as REED can B about It... Anyways,Domonic was WHIPPING Arreola's Ass,but the Instant he was the SLIGHTEST Bit Hurt,Arreola BENEFITTED from 1 of those Infamous "House Fighter" Quick Stoppages... Fox Sports had PLANNED on Broadcasting the Fight to FEATURE Arreola,but those Plans were Nixed...Preserving his Undefeated Record was All they could Muster... Arreola SHOULDN'T B Anywhere NEAR a Heavyweight Top 10,Unless U're Ranking the Top 10 MEXICAN Heavyweights... REED
He HASN'T Fought GOOD "Stink" Yet... Chris Byrd or Kirk Johnson would OUTPOINT Arreola by WIDE Margins... REED
i don't consider Byrd a stink-fighter. how about Ariola vs. Oquendo. PR vs. Mexico. Now there's stink I think could be dealt with.
Get this:~ Nigel Collins, Editor-In-Chief of Ring said: 1. Grants jab will land before Golotas....because Grant has longer arms. 2. That Grant was underrated, and Wlad Klitschko was overrated And now, it appears, these stupid white men have the aptly named Arreola AHEAD of Povetkin. Go figga.
It seems that the pre requisite to be accepted in this gang was to be butt ugly. Arreola would fit pretty well, they'd probably take him as chief.
There are. Anyone Wlad gets his horrible mitts on is dead. And Evander.....I'm looking for you pal. Your face is gonna be purple before the evening is out. Have a nice day.
