Honestly I think Ruiz just didn't see the shot coming it was a very swift sneaky I think left hook Knyba slipped in and with the ones you don't see, all bets are off. Even iron jawed Ruiz did the bambi stumble. He has been knocked down a couple times before so it's not like it's a new thing. He took a complete pummelling after he was hurt and took countless heavy shots to crash to the canvas. Then he was swinging for the fences with the giant a minute later. I mean his punch resistance certainly is not going to get better as he ages but he is still durable. If he was finished he would not have survived that onslaught, he was completely ineffective but he tried at least, still a warrior. He needs to retire if he's not back in the ring within six months and does a better job than that but the opponent was a shocking bit of matchmaking. It's almost as if Eddie is still resentful and stitched him up lol.
I would agree but I just saw that Adam Kownacki has a fight scheduled so he should be on any such list.
Top 3's tough. Alphabetically, among top-20 (give-or-take) guys still active -- or at least trying to be: Chisora (42 but says he never wants to quit) Joyce Pulev Ruiz Whyte Wilder ... and AJ, Fury and Big Baby aren't far behind. Usyk's old but until his superior skills dramatically diminish (I give him some latitude on the Rico fight), I'll give him a little longer.
