    Whyte going above Wilder seems odd to me in the sense that had Fury lost I don't think Whyte would have suddenly gone above him.

    That aside, Ring magazine hasn't been anything credible for a long time. Can't forget that they had a ****ing MMA fighter on their front cover

    I think they'll do something like this.

    Who cares if noone else fights an old never was? That he could land on will at Wilder and couldn't make him pay for it shows how overhyped he was.

    Achieved little as an amateur and little as a pro. Was prob the worst boogeyman of the past decade.

    Whyte shouldn't be ranked ahead of WIlder. Whyte has never won a title and while I'm not a big fan of Wilder, he held the WBC title for a half decade after losing his first match.

    I'm not too certain that Whyte should be ranked ahead of Ruiz Jr either. My ranking would be:

    Fury
    AJ
    Wilder
    Ruiz Jr
    Whyte

    I think Whyte has done quite well for himself since getting knocked out by AJ but he looked terrible in his last performance, had some shaky performances the last couple years against non elite competition and he's never won a title. I think he's been deserving of a shot for the last year or so but he's still only a contender at this stage.

    Hunter would outbox Ortiz. Who has Ortiz shown his unbelievable skill against? Scott? Fat Dave Allen? Or Wilder maybe? The same guy who was outboxed in all his title defences before he scores his get out of jail shot.

    Sasha chins Ortiz.

    The little girl was crying,
    For when she went to bed,
    She feared Ortiz was under it,
    So this her father said,

    Don't worry 'bout the boogeyman,
    Dry your tears lass,
    If he chases you just run away,
    He's ancient so he'll gas,

    There was an old man from Cuba
    Who Al Haymon played like a tuba
    He rejected Hearn's offer,
    To get laid out by a dosser
    But at least he did better than Scuba.

    Oh Luis Ortiz
    Charges reasonable fees,
    To make your lame boxer look good,
    For he'll stagger about,
    Make it look like a bout,
    Then he'll hit the canvas with a thud,

    Wilder give him a call,
    For he's no shame at all,
    He'll happily do it once more,
    You can fight him one handed,
    Till that straight right has landed,
    And 'Bombsquad' once again you can roar,

    Ring lost credibility when it was bought out by a boxing promoter.

    I wonder how deluded you have to be to think Jennings wasn't a top ten heavyweight at the time. I'm going to say roughly 79% deluded. At 80%, you are almost certainly living in a commune where you insulate your house with sheep dung that you thanked the sheep for. And by sheep I mean bearded human of any variety of gender.
