Chris Arreola assembled his perfect heavyweight: two Ukrainians and he’s on the list

The Mexican heavyweight boxer Chris Arreola has assembled his ideal heavyweight based on the traits offered to him.

Jab – Riddick Bowe:

'I would definitely pick Bowe. Yes, he’s a big man, but he used his jab that way. I love how he did it.'

Defense – Vladimir Klitschko:

'Tough choice, because many boxers use defense well. But I would pick Vladimir Klitschko. He had good defense. He’s tall and he used it well.'

Chin – Rocky Marciano:

'The greatest chin in boxing? Damn, I’d pick Rocky Marciano. 50-0, a different era, smaller gloves, totally different fights. I’d pick Rocky.'

Footwork – Muhammad Ali:

'No one else. He had the 'Ali shuffle'. He was superb all around the ring and moved beautifully.'

Boxing IQ – Oleksandr Usyk:

'I really like Usyk. I like his boxing IQ. He’s a great boxer. He came and became Olympic champion – I respect that.'

Personality – Chris Arreola:

'I have the best personality in boxing. Send me to any era of boxing and I’ll become a star'. PBC
