Where does Ruiz rank as being the heaviest HW title holder?

[Controversial]

I think Valuev holds the record for being the heaviest fighter to hold a belt, where does Ruiz rank at 268lbs (19st 1lb), the second heaviest?

[ironbeard]

I do not know, but he has to be in the top end of jigglingest

[jamamb]

valuev was heavier obviously

carnera for a title defense was 270

so maybe third? defo the fattest though

Big Baby Miller apparently blew a great opportunity to become the 2nd heaviest heavyweight champion ever.

He very well would have scaled 300 lbs.

Nah, big baby would have been ko'd

I thought he had a decent chance. Fast hands. Busy. Strong. Apparently has a tough chin.

After what happened to Joshua, I certainly haven't changed my mind.

Same here. He blew it. But my prediction for the two Brooklyn fatties becoming co champs might still come true. Ruiz vs Kownacki or Miller would be interesting. I think they both could beat him.

Ruiz would still be lighter than Primo Carnera, who fought the bulk of his career between 260-280. That was all muscle though.
