    I can’t believe how many people have Ruiz in the current top ten

    In addition to that wilder's only notable win is old man ortiz and he almost lost the first fight in the 7th round only to get saved by the bell.

    Its up for debae if Parker is better than Ortiz. Losses do count, getting sparked by a 40 year old must count. JJ hasnt beaten anyone in the top 20, I cant rate a guy on potential alone otherwise I'd have Hrgovic above JJ

    Sure, as always. I think most would agree with me.

    I never said his resume is all that, remind me again who Joyce's and Hunters best wins are?

    The list is made up of the right people, even though i disagree with the ordering. I wouldn't have Usyk so high, nor Wilder so low. Usyk had one fight at heavyweight and it wasn't all that impressive. As for Wilder, he may be missing a few marbles upstairs and maybe some of his title defenses weren't that glamorous, but he's still got a helluva right hand and a ton of at least "ok" wins under his belt.

    He beat arguably the best heavyweight. Where would you rank him?

    I wasn't trying to debate about hunter or especially joe joyce as he's practically unratable right now besides his bryant jennings win. Wilder arguably could be better. Im just saying wilder shouldn't be near the top of the list cause even kubrat pulev arguably has a better resume than him. Plus he ducked whyte.

    He's overrated. He posseses the most powerful weapon in the division sure but once you take it away he has nothing else. Thats why he ducks top competition and he only fought fury because fury was coming off of years of abusing his body and wilder saw him as an easy win because of it

    You make it sound like Fury just wandered out of rehab and fought Wilder the first time, he did have 2 warm up fights before. How many would you have liked him to have before you would have not called it a cherry pick? 5-10?

    Fury fought bums. Nothing that could tune him up in the slightest. We saw how a more focused fury with more training SEVERALY outclassed wilder

    I think Wilder should have won the first fight, & no doubt about the second. It was so so dominant, I rate it as the best heavyweight performance since Holyfield beat up Tyson.
    But by resume & record I have AJ ahead of Fury. They could fight and Fury beats him, then he would be number 1 heavyweight.

    I do. A tubby Ruiz stopped what nearly everyone has as a top 2 HW in the world (usually #2 to Fury). An unfit, tub of lard Ruiz went the distance with an AJ that fought Ruiz carefully.

    Ruiz is wasting his talent with his lack of discipline at the dinner table. He has a good engine, fast hands, and can take a HW punch. If he gets serious and motivated he can compete with any top 10 HW and win his share.

    1#Fury
    2#Andy Ruiz Jr.
    Usyk looks that is out of shape too.
    Currently #9 if Chisora was #10? and he defeated Chisora.
