Chris Arreola is a proud Mexican-American but he's also an objective fight analyst. The heavyweight prospect who is 26-0 with 23 knockouts hated the Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao matchup when he first heard about it. He was angry that Oscar was bypassing Antonio Margarito. Time has passed and now he's of the mindset that a DLH-Margarito fight would've been a bad matchup:

"I was one of those people saying why (doesn't De La Hoya pick on someone his own size)? He said he wanted to fight Margarito, so why isn't he? Margarito just proved it against Cotto, he took his will, he took his heart and he would do that to Oscar."

Arreola's come full circle on tonight's fight saying that he'll be in Sin City to check it out first hand. He thinks that Pacman has a good shot:

"You look at Manny, he's great fighter and comes to every fight prepared. Oscar didn't look that great against (Steve) Forbes. When he fought Mayweather, another smaller fighter, he gave him a hard time. I believe Manny is going to give him a hard time too. He's a smaller fighter and he throws a lot punches. And he's going to come in shape. I really think Manny has a really good chance of winning."
