What is Joshua's best win since he quit against Ruiz?

I remember the fallout very clearly. It all came down to Wilder not wanting to go through with the fight because he was **** scared of getting KOed by Povetkin in Russia. He was fine fighting drugs cheat Ortiz twice in his home country, giving drugs cheat Stiverne another shot and drafting in drugs cheat Arreola at the last minute. So obviously the whole meldonium thing wasn't the real reason. But it makes a nice get out clause if you blab on about upholding the integrity of the sport loud enough while tucking your tail between your legs as you're getting the hell out of dodge.

 

Nganou KO was nice
But it doesn’t count imo
So I’ll go with Wallin or Helenius

 

Why doesn't the Ngannou fight count?

 

The Ruiz win I would have to think.

 

The moral win in the 2nd Usyk fight...

 

Ruiz, Wallin, Hellenius are C level boxers. Ngannou wasn't even a boxer. Squeeze in two losses to Usyk and you have very poor record.

Or was Pulev in there somewhere?

 

Personally I'd rate Franklin above Wallin. But I'd agree in terms of ranking it'd have to be Wallin.

 

Well it's because the majority of this forum have never been concussed and repeatedly punched in the head by a 270lb professional fighter right?

 

Because he is a novice who hasn't won a fight yet.

 

The rematch against Ruiz.

 

Otto Wallin was regarded as Top #5 by TBRB based on his previous performance against Fury and following his win over Gasiev. Many were also arguing that Whyte also ducked him to fight Fury.

I guess he isn't rated now though, because Joshua dominated him

He becomes crap again.

 

Depends on how you look at it?

Ruiz 2 was for the titles, but Ruiz showed up weighing 600 lbs because he never stopped the celebration after the first fight.

Franklin did have a loss before he fought AJ, but it was a fight most people thought he won against a solid heavyweight.

Pulev and Helenius were shot to bits. But Helenius did provide some entertainment so I heard.

Wallin was a showcase fight to set up AJ-Wilder. It didn't workout because Parker upset the plan by beating Wilder.

Ngannou is not a boxer.

 

Take a breath. It's not what I think, it's what boxing writers thought. Many consider TBRB the gold standard ranking, even above Ring ratings.

Personally, I think top 5 was silly, but I have no issues with top 10 based on the dominant display against Gassiev (who has been plying his trade at HW for a while) There have been top 10 fighters without good wins, Dominic Breazeale and recently Jared Anderson for example.

To me, your opinion is pretty wild too, if I was to balance it against TBRBs
