Chris Arreola's greatest hits. If you're new to Chris Arreola, you'll notice that none of these hits come anywhere near the level of Vitali Klitschko. In fact, this has to be the weakest HBO Greatest Hits ever compiled, no offense to Arreola.

Is it just me or does his right hand make you cringe? It just looks like he throws it awful, so ugly.

It’s not just you. He is a sloppy, sloppy fighter, which he’s gotten away with so far, obviously. He’s got heavy hands but a lot of his offense is uglier than boiled sin.

And

his defence isn’t exactly great either. If Walker could hit him that easily in the first round Vitali really ought to pound him about the ring. Should be fun though!

Probably, but at the same time, I doubt Vitali will come out blitzing throwing 100 punches in the first round.

His uppercut and then overhand right combo is Mayweatheresque..

"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Lol at “vicious combination”. It took three lightyears to materialize.

Leaves himself way to open

I agree about the ugliness

his right is often looping and when he tries to throw flurries, it looks like a tough-man competition. I will give him a bit of credit for the right upper-cut, though, it seems like and effective weapon if he can follow it with a left hook.

Wear something sexy to my funeral.

Actually, in my opinion this was Arreola’s greatest hit.

There is a video out there somewhere

of Arreola talking about the ‘oh shit jab’, where he defines and explains what the ‘oh shit jab’ is. It’s hilarious but I can’ seem to find it.
