ruiz beat holyfield, rahman, golota, mccline , got a very rare ko of oquendo, beat an in-shape and then well rated and favoured kirk johnson who wasnt a total whale yet.

albeit not across 1 reign, and he had some poor losses mixed in, but he had solid wins, better overall than both vitali and wilder. he gets a bit underrated for his ugly style

Which is why Mr Chickenshit opted to fight some unknown for his last fight instead of Fury. Yeah right. Featherfisted fragile Vitaly would have gotten smashed by Fury.

His decisions were fixed for him, the third Holyfield bout and the Golota one were the most obvious robberies.

goes both ways, he also clearly deserved the win he got over holyfield (and couldve easily got the first fight too) . you can argue that series should be 2-1 ruiz as easily as you can 2-1 holy or 1-1-1

couldve defo gotten a decision over valuev as well

while youre reversing results, fury couldve lost to john mcdermott

Yes, ironically Ruiz was robbed himself by Valuev, while overall Valuev even surpassed Ruiz as a fraud. He was tracked in a so straightforwardly corrupt way because the circus of a tall man was selling well in Germany. Valuev gotta be the worst HW champion with a reign, even the worst 2-time HW champion.

Vitali was better (in prime) and in my view would’ve beaten every HW since 1990 not named Lennox Lewis. Including Fury, Wlad etc. It’s not even a question in my opinion.

Lewis and Vitali stand alone. Shout out to prime Holyfield and I will be interested if Usyk takes Fury into the Matrix; which is really possible.
