    Ruiz beats Fury and Joshua

    Wilder beats Ruiz and Joshua

    Fury beats Wilder and Joshua

    Looks like anybody but Joshua.

    Ruiz is number 1 on boxrec and rightly so

    I would have the following all ahead on Wallin based on resume

    Ruiz, AJ, Whyte, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev, Hunter, Wilder, Miller,Kownacki, Ortiz, Kabayel, Chisora, Joyce, Rivas, Bakole, Dubois, Takam, Hrgovic, Ajagba, Yoka, Kuzmin, Hughie, Jennings, Martin, Breazeale, Washington, Hammer, Dauhapas, Charr, Spzilka, Helenius, Teper, Gorman, Molina and Price all have better resumes than him off the top of my head.

    That also doesnt include Usyk and Gassiev who are yet to make their HW debuts.

    Joshua is the best unless he takes another L .

    Fury showed he cannot hang with aggressive fighters who can punch like AJ with skill that would reach him .

    Wilder lost to Fury.

    Ruiz is actually unofficaily undefeated ,AJ hands him a real L next time it puts him ahead ,way ahead the resumes aren't even close to his. lol

    I know he didnt, although Fury is very fortunate not lose as it should have been stopped due to the cut.

    I was reffering to Granat being Wallins best win ahead of Zumbano.

    Hard to say since he hasn't beaten a top 40 fighter in 4 years. Looking poor against Wallin and Pianetta but managing to draw against a top 10 fighter in Wilder.

    I'd really like to see Fury fight someone in the top 20 aside from Wilder to give him a fair assessment.

    However going on his recent peformances would you fancy Furys chances against any HW that has decent punching power and that has better ring IQ and technique than Wilder? I wouldn't.

    So let me try to get this straight. Wallin had a "good performance" according to this board by not being able to put down or take rounds from a fury who had 1 eye for 10 rounds yet Wilder has a "bad" performance according to this boare when he drops fury twice and the second time for a 9 count where fury only survives because he got extra 20 seconds to walk around the ring and recover

    Ruiz is possibly the most skilled, but suffers from severe physical disadvantages. He may still end up on top. If he beats AJ again, he probably deserves to be considered number 1.

    Based off of Fury's poor performance last night, Wilder is the clear #1 in a very weak heavyweight division.

    There's some solid fighters in the likes of Fury, Ruiz, Whyte, Parker, Dubois, Hunter and of course Usyk but Wilder is the man on top of the throne untill further notice.
