If he hasn't got any fights on the horizon I don't see why he shouldn't but I can't see him going that far. But you never know.

He won't get that far with that China chin.

I would like to see him succeed. Would be a pretty great story if, he manage to get a title shot, but I seriously think he wouldnt..
I hope him a good career though.

He surely isn´t that bad people are trying to make him after the Fedor fight. He had the right plan. Just the idea of the flying knee was not that good.

But honestly, wicht fighter would have swallowed that punch in the middle of the flight?

Maybe the bigger boxing gloves might help as well, he won't be as vulnerable to a 1 punch ko. I think he will do OK but won't likely make the top ranks.

But he's going to get hit a lot more in a boxing match by guys who are a lot better at punching.

He should try boxing, MMA may not be for him but a guy like Haye would smash him with his thumb.

No and if he was to move to MMA then I would happily say Arlovski would hand him his ass, which he would.

But if Arlovski gets in a boxing ring with David Haye he will indeed be left in a heap in the middle of the ring.

I wouldn't even have brought it up if Arlovski didn't sign with golden boy.

If he fights a mid average boxer, this will be the result.Given Arlovski is a B- rated kick boxer.

Just read on ESPN that we will most likely make his debut on the Paul Williams vs Winky Wright undercard. I also don't see him getting far in his boxing career but I hope he does well.

Madness in my opinion. Arlovski fell in love with his standup a long time and thats all we hear about is his awesome standup. Problem is boxing is a sport where you get hit in the face ALOT. Arlovski has a terrible chin. His career will be VERY short lived.

Arlovski will be a boxer with big power, no chin. If he had enough years left in him, he could be something like a Terry Norris. Big power, aggressive, but still beatable because of the chin.

That being said. I'm sure he can survive for quite a few years, being that in boxing, you can get away with 20 plus fights before every really having to fight. Its already done to a great degree in boxing, just cherry pick fighters who don't have much power, but decent boxing ability on your way up to the top. Then you have to gamble once you break top 5 or so.

Yeah, Côté has such a great chin that he was stopped in 2 of his 3 loses has a pro boxer and It wasn't against world class fighters either.

No shit.

Boxers spend decades perfecting their skills and climb the latter to become a world class boxer.

Arlovski could be the greatest striker in MMA history. There is still very little chance that at 29 years old. He will be able to do anything remotely relevant in boxing.
