Does Ruiz's performance last night also shine a light on how over rated Povetkin is/was?

    So many people still rate this guy a top 5 HW, right after the belt holders...
    AJ folded him like a lawn chair

    I always thought Povetkin was overrated and Ortiz is actually the better fighter compared to him, so for me that fight didn‘t change anything.

    Povetkin could be shot but I’d still rank him highly for now, they’re all different fights. Povetkin couldn’t pressure AJ like Ruiz did but AJ was more cautious there. Using these comparisons, you could say because Andy Ruiz beat AJ so convincingly that Joseph Parker should have battered AJ which didn’t happen.
