    Yes, he would be up there with Danny Williams who beat Tyson and Manual Charr who has held onto the WBA regular belt undefeated since 2017.

    This. Buster Douglas has a much better win than Andy Ruiz and he isn’t an ATG.

    If he cleans out that lot and continues to defend then definitely would have to qualify for that discussion. ANYONE who is able to beat that lot and continue to make successful defenses would have to be up there.

    Not sure. Now, after any heavyweight wins a fight he is ATG.
    After Martin "beat" Glazkov he was declared an ATG. After AJ beat a couple of guys he was declared a top 5 ATG. After Fury had a draw with Wilder he was declared a top 3 ATG. This is ridiculous.

    That would be one hell of an unlikely event!
    How would he even land on Fury's head? Who watched the Hammer fight? Fury breaks Snickez down and pulps his face, shutting both eyes for a referee stoppage.
    Wilder fight would be entertaining! He has a counterpuncher's chance but probably gets KO'd by a raking right hand!
    Joshua has a good chance of winning the rematch.
    Ruiz will soon be back in a Parker type position most likely.
    Thankful for what he did for us this year though, always be grateful.

    Wooh, ease up tiger. Ruiz is still on his first days on the job. Joshua, Wilder and Fury ain't even all time greats.

    Hell no, he's only just had the belt five minutes, he's gotta get about a bit, but even after consecutive defences and if he has beaten AJ, Wilder and Fury it would still be debateable.
