Am I Only One Who Thinks Arreola Would Be Worse With Weight Off?

Am I the only one that's able to see the light and realize that Arreola would not be anywhere near as "good" if he were to slim down to 230lbs as people want him to?

The problem is it's not his weight, the problem is he's not that skilled period. As you saw last night it wasn't really his weight that was the problem, I've seen super fat and overweight heavyweights that have good fundamentals and still know how to throw combos and move well like Kirk Johnson for example.
But Arreola just doesn't have much skills period. The ONLY reason he was able to become such a contender is because
1. he's in a super weak era and
2. he's big/fat enough where he can take advantage of that in this weak era and use his size and strength (he does hit relatively hard, but that's BECAUSE of his size/weight) to his advantage.

So the point is that, without his blubber which is what gives him his ability to withstand punishment AND punch hard, I think he'd just be a mediocre 230lbs with mediocre movement, mediocre skill/combinations and mediocre punching power. At that point he would get beat up by any of the top 20 guys like Tony Thompson, Chambers, etc. (even now they would probably destroy him)

Point is Arreola is immensely over rated, he hasn't beaten ANYONE and racked up an inflated knockout percentage by knocking out ATG's like "Cliff Couser".

He went life and death with Brian Minto who looked like he was on his way to stopping Arreola (Minto lost to 50 year old Tony Tubbs, you know the same guy prime Tyson KTFO in 2 rounds back in the mid 80's LOL, except Minto lost to a 50 year old version only a few years ago).

So in conclusion, Arreola is overrated and doesn't really have much skill. He's used that same fat and size that everyone denigrates as his chief advantage in both absorbing blows and doling out punishment over subpar and equally fat opposition. He has a TON of heart and will and I'm not questioning that, but the point is, if he slimmed down to 230lbs he'd just be a mediocre tiny guy that would get dominated by anyone in the top 15 and would have been annihilated by Adamek by KO rather than embarrassingly decisioned as he was.

yes you're the only one.

Being fat only helps you in the case of sumo wrestling. C'mon. If he compensated the weight loss with muscle gain, we'll be talking.
