    So those looked like easy wins to you? Watch the fights and tell me Holmes, one of the best heavyweights of all time, had an easy time with shavers. Tell me you believe Ruiz would have done better and/or have Holmes on the canvas like shavers did. Can't see any way to justify the claim that Ruiz was better than shavers. Dealing with Larry Holmes and dealing with Anthony Joshua are not in the same stratosphere

    And Shavers is one of the most overrated fighters of all time. He got stopped in one by Quarry and lost to some scrubs.

    Shavers would have a great chance especially against Wilder and Joshua. Holmes beats them all. Hell.... Even comeback Holmes would jab Wilders head off with ease.
