Question: How are the rankings affected by Andy Ruiz Jr's (unranked, BoxRec's #14) KO 7 win over Anthony Joshua (#1)?

My vote: Joshua down to #4, Ruiz Jr enters at #2.

This voting will last until 08.06.2019. Next voting will start 15.06.2019 on Tyson Fury vs Tom Schwarz.

Geez, how far down does AJ go? It's not like this was a close fight. He got knackered.

He lost it when he rushed on Ruiz after the knockdown. he got caught and never recovered.

[Contendeh]

This reminded me a lot of Lewis and McCall.

If Joshua was considered number 1, then that has to go to Ruiz now.

Ruiz 1

Wilder And Fury tied at 2 (or pick em)

AJ 4

Dude, this wasn't a one punch hunch. AJ got beaten throughout the fight by Ruiz.

Absolutely true. Not the knockout, but the overall feel of it.

[oogiebe]

AJ to four
Ruiz to Three

AJ to 4 is merely because I don't know what if AJ has some sort of issue or something. He already beat Whyte, so I couldn't drop him further. Don't think Ruiz could beat Fury or Wilder.

[DrDuke]

Joshua drops to the 4th place.

Ruiz appears in the list on the 3rd place.

Wilder and Fury logically move to the 2nd and the 1st places respectively (Finally The Gypsy King will get the long deserved crown).

[ewenhay]

Joshua to 4th
Ruiz to 3rd

[joshj909]

Ruiz at 1, AJ to 4th

[KiwiRider]

Joshua #3
Ruiz #4
Everyone below moves down one except Parker who stays the same due to his win against Ruiz making his resume better than Pulev

[Lennox]

Andy Ruiz jnr to 1
Anthony Joshua to 2
Everybody else drops a place

Reasons: Ruiz beat the number 1. Joshua drops to 2 because he has still done more than Wilder or Fury in terms of defeating quality opponents.

Ruiz to 3rd
Joshua to 4th

in spite of great performance last night, I still believe there are realistic chances Ruiz can be outboxed by Fury and KOed by Wilder..

Lol. But is Andy Ruiz still Mexican? Or is the USA forcing him to be American so they hold all the heavyweight belts again!?

Well his nationality is American. He’s listed as American.

His ethnic background is Mexican.

Throughout the build though, he was referring himself as Mexican.

Even Buffer saying they doing the Mexican national anthem going off Ruiz’s roots.

His parents are Mexican. He fought for Mexico in the amateurs. I think he's entitled to be Mexican regardless of where he happened to be born.

[ironbeard]

He belongs to the United Fat Dudes of North America, ffs.
