1. Usyk
2. AJ
3. Wilder

prior to the loss, what was joshua doing? he had the best record, fought the best names and beat everybody up and rarly struggled unlike the 3 others. just because he had on bad night people act like he is no good.

Oh wait, he didn't lose enough rounds to show all those things

margaret thatcher wrote: ↑07 Dec 2019, 21:28 Ya, Ruiz got the first win fair and square, but I really believe that was a case of him beating a superior fighter and the superior fighter making the adjustment to win easily as he should've the first time. Ruiz has talent but has been a porky headcase much of his career

The top 3-4 need to do a "round-robin" or tourney to see who's really the best. Wilder, Fury & AJ have all been inconsistent & Usyk has yet to face a top HW. AJ's meltdown in the first Ruiz fight cannot be forgotten. If AJ gets stung by any of those other 3 we could see an instant replay of the AJ meltdown.

Ruiz would be at least second best opponent on Wilders list for example.

I don’t think he’s got the credentials to sit higher ranked than either Fury or Wilder; who are for me - the Top 2 at Heavyweight.

I'd say, Fury and Ortiz are better than Ruiz. So, I'd put him no higher than on the 3rd place.

Also, rating AJ lower than Wilder or Fury at this point is just laughable. His resume is way ahead, he beat better opponents than both of them combined and a single nasty loss is just not enough to offset this fact.
