    • ArreolaWEIGHTChris Arreola simply hasn't treated his boxing career as a profession in recent years. The heavy-handed heavyweight has failed to monitor his diet and too often entered big fights carrying way too much extra weight.

      The 30-year-old's career is far from over, but his spot as a solid draw is in jeopardy with a loss this weekend against Nagy Aguilera Arreola faces Aguilera on the undercard of the Andre Ward-Arthur Abraham fight this weekend at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Ca.

      As an athlete, Arreola (30-2, 26 KOs) is far from a regular guy , but he does carry the fast food gene most of us average Joes battle on a daily basis.

      "I'm not eating out as much as I used to. I make my own meals at home. At the most, I eat out once a week where I used to eat out every day. Eating out is horrible," Arreola told FightNews.com. "I would watch food commercials on T.V. and I would go and eat. I would even eat at midnight, one, or two in the morning. It makes a huge difference."

    • "It happened, it happened!" was the call from a shocked Jim Lampley when George Foreman rocked the boxing world at 45 years old in 1994 by beating WBA/IBF heavyweight champion Michael Moorer.

      Next week, it has a chance to "happen" again when 46-year-old Bernard Hopkins takes on WBC light heavyweight champ Jean Pascal. If Hopkins take the title, he'll become the oldest fight in boxing history to win a title belt.

      "I thought such a record would last a lot longer than it has lasted because 45 is phenomenal and just think, Bernard Hopkins is 46.  He's probably the only one who could break such a record because not only does he possess this big punch to get a knockout, but he's also a good boxer and at times, a counter-puncher.  He can pull it off, no doubt about it," Foreman said during a media teleconference this week.

      The jovial big man gave Hopkins (51-5-2, 32 KOs) his props, but said the record has to be snapped in similar to fashion to what did versus in the 10th round of

      Apparently The Eagles are big boxing fans, now let's hope Golden Boy Promotions is too. Juan Manuel Marquez has agreed to face Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, but the fight can be blocked by Golden Boy holding the first right of refusal on any JMM fight.

      Pacman's promoter Bob Arum confirmed on Thursday that Marquez accepted the fight. To make the Pacquiao fight possible, the Mexican legend parted ways with Golden Boy. Pacquiao, who is suing GBP for demation, will not fight anyone officially promoted by Oscar De La Hoya's promotional company.

      If the fight goes down, the date is interesting because initially the MGM Grand Garden Arena was booked for an Eagles concert.

      According to Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Eagles willingly moved to Nov. 5 to open things up for the big fight.

      Golden Boy has until Monday at 3 p.m. PT to make a decision. Marquez will receive $9 million for the fight and there is a rematch clause in the contract if he beats Pacquiao.

      Chris Arreola's ample physique stood out during this photo opp with the fellas at the Red Bulls-Galaxy soccer game at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles.

      Thierry Henry is a surprisingly big dude, but the rest of the crew is dwarfed by the American heavyweight boxer.

      Give Arreola credit, as you can see below, he's a smart guy. There's nothing more slimming than hitting your local broadcast booth.

    • MayweatherHATFor his own self-preservation, Floyd Mayweather may want to come running back to the boxing ring. Fighting Manny Pacquiao isn't a safe proposition, but at least the eight week training camp would keep Floyd away from Las Vegas-area security guards and bouncers.

      Mayweather, who is already dealing with two security guard-related incidents, now has another one on his plate.

      According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Floyd's latest legal tussle involves a Las Vegas bouncer:

      [...] Mayweather and his companies are being sued by a bouncer at the Strip nightclub Drai's (Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon) after he was assaulted, the lawsuit said, by the boxer's bodyguard Jan. 2.

      In a lawsuit filed last week in Clark County District Court, Clay Gerling alleged that an unknown bodyguard for Mayweather "maliciously assaulted and battered plaintiff, by grabbing the plaintiff, and choking him."

      The Las Vegas Sun has more specifics:

      The suit said Gerling was working as a security guard and had
