Chris Arreola? He's a jelly donut with legs. With pectorals that sag to his midsection and a midsection that sags to the floor, Arreola hardly cuts an imposing figure. And he knows it.Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:42:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/chris_mannix/09/25/vitali.klitschko/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/chris_mannix/09/25/vitali.klitschko/index.htmlWhen Vitali Klitschko announced his return to boxing in 2008, he told everyone he was coming back for one reason: He wanted to make history. He wanted to join his younger brother, IBF and WBO titleholder Wladimir Klitschko, as a world champion, thereby becoming the first pair of brothers to hold heavyweight titles simultaneously. Vitali accomplished that feat in his first fight back, knocking out Samuel Peter in a one-sided bout that earned him the WBC belt, the same title he relinquished when he retired.Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:47:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bryan_armen_graham/06/20/Klitschko.Chagaev/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/bryan_armen_graham/06/20/Klitschko.Chagaev/index.htmlFor the first time in nearly five years, a legitimate heavyweight champion roosts atop the boxing food chain.Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:48:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/10/13/klitschko.brothers.titles/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/10/13/klitschko.brothers.titles/index.htmlVitali Klitschko is hurt, and it may be serious.Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:27:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/richard_obrien/08/31/valuev.ruiz/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/richard_obrien/08/31/valuev.ruiz/index.htmlNikolai Valuev's disputed decision win over John Ruiz on Saturday (his second disputed decision win over Ruiz, for those who are counting) reportedly drew boos from the crowd in Berlin's Max Schmeling Stadium. It drew basically no response at all from American sports fans, of course, since the bout wasn't actually televised in the U.S. Even had it been, though, it's hard to imagine that the rematch between the 35-year-old Valuev, whose 7-foot height is barely enough to compensate for his rudimentary skills, and the 36-year-old Ruiz, who though adept, always seems to do just enough to underwhelm the judges, would have generated much interest on the first weekend of the college football season. Or on any other weekend, for that matter.Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:36:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/03/09/mannix.peter/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/03/09/mannix.peter/index.htmlThe call came last week, just as I was boarding a plane to Salt Lake City. On the other end of the line was Bernd Boente, the top-flight manager for IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and his brother, former WBC champion Vitali Klitschko.Mon, 10 Mar 2008 02:40:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/10/05/Peter/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/10/05/Peter/index.htmlNEW YORK -- Patience is a virtue that Samuel Peter is fresh out of. It has been nine long months since the 27-year-old Peter last competed, nine months since the man known as the Nigerian Nightmare beat James Toney for the second time to earn (for the second time) the title of the WBC's number one contender.Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:40:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/05/06/inside.boxing/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/05/06/inside.boxing/index.htmlLAS VEGAS -- Nearly 24 hours have passed since Saturday night's epic battle between Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya. The crowds have thinned out (or as much as they can in a casino) and the celebrities have all gone home.Mon, 07 May 2007 01:02:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/03/18/holyfield/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/03/18/holyfield/index.htmlThere are only so many stiffs Evander Holyfield can beat up on before someone gives him a title shot.Sun, 18 Mar 2007 22:34:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/01/30/klitschko/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/01/30/klitschko/index.htmlVitali Klitschko wants to make history. More precisely, he wants to make history again. "I have a vision," said Klitschko in a telephone interview from the Ukraine. "It's one I have had for a long time. I want my brother and I to be heavyweight champions at the same time."Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:48:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/01/27/boxing.rahman/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/01/27/boxing.rahman/index.htmlFormer WBC champion Hasim Rahman is close to a deal to fight Sinan Samil Sam in a bout that would pit together two of the organization's top four heavyweight contenders.Sat, 27 Jan 2007 10:48:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/01/26/heavyweights/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/01/26/heavyweights/index.htmlIn 1992, Riddick Bowe decided to take a stand. Unhappy with the WBC's mandate that he fight No. 1 contender Lennox Lewis, Bowe decided that the belt was no longer worth the leather strap it came on. So in a glorious public-relations stunt, Bowe took the belt and unceremoniously dumped it into a London trash can.Fri, 26 Jan 2007 17:29:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/01/07/boxing.heavyweight/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/01/07/boxing.heavyweight/index.htmlSamuel Peter scored a unanimous decision over James Toney in their WBC heavyweight elimination bout on Saturday.Sun, 07 Jan 2007 11:38:00 EST
