- -Fatboy Andy clearly the best before and now #1 after.
AJ #2 since Fury and Deyonce clearly ducked career purses to fight each other for peanuts.
Read it and weep fer yer lamb chops!!!
1. Wilder
He fought someone in the top 10, who was known to boxing fans, had gone 7 rounds with AJ, is tall, fairly built and worked his way to mandatory position. Many (Brits?) thought he will be the guy to dethrone Wider. They also had a personal thing going on, the fight was announced well in advance giving each fight time to prepare.
2. Joshua
While Andy Ruiz was an unknown, non-top-10 guy, he had good speed to his side. His only fight against a top 10 guy resulted in a defeat but at least he went the 12 rounds. Some even believe he did enough to get a draw or even a win. Ruiz is shorter, out of shape, and was massively seen as an underdog. Acceptable only because he was a late replacement.
3. Fury
Schwarz who? Never heard of him, no single thing impressive about him. Amazing he is ranked #2 by WBO but that is more to WBO's discredit rather than Schwarz's credit. Saw his previous fight and he looked more of an actor than a boxer with his "fake knockdown/out from a head butt", constantly being a cry-baby. Its a feat and tells about European boxing given this guy was "unbeaten".
Can you imagine braindead trash like this dude frequents and poisons our forum. It's disgusting.
Anybody on here who claim they didn't really know who Andy Ruiz was needs to change their name to casual fan 1, casual fan 2 and so on. Andy Ruiz has fought for world titles. I'd understand casuals not knowing but folk on here?
Breazele might be ranked higher but he’s not a good fighter. His style consists of getting beat up until his opponent gasses out. He’s the heavyweight Margarito. From a skill standpoint Ruiz is the best of the 3. Now Schwarz is a total tomato can and should never fight for another title again in life.
every ranking had it that way before Ruiz made AJ quit tbh
Before Breazeale/Wilder then Breazeale was higher I'm sure.
After that he took a nosedive.
Miller was highest ranked opposition in America. Breazeale next then Ruiz
Breazeale is the same level as Schwarz. he hasn`t done anything in his career but got stopped but Joshua and Wilder. His best win is little known black Polish dude Izu. And even in this fight was Breazeale hurt badly.
With the benefit of hindsight Ruiz is obviously the best of the three. Beforehand I thought Breazeale was best and probably had the best shot at an upset owing to him being sturdy and having a good punch. Despite Schwarz being unbeaten beforehand there was never any ambiguity about him being any good.
Ruiz was best of the three, then Brezeale . Schwarz wasn’t really an opponent.
After the fights i think Ruiz enhanced his reputation and schwarz just proved what everyone thought anyway.
Before the fights many had Breazeale over Ruiz, I’m sure. I doubt anyone had Schwarz anywhere but a distant 3rd.

1) Deontay Wilder 2) Anthony Joshua 3) Tyson Fury. The reason why I put Wilder first is because boxing fans weren't aware of the fact of just how good Andy Ruiz was until he defeated AJ.
Many saw it as a mismatch because he was a last minute replacement and out of shape. Most didn't give him any or half of a chance of defeating Anthony Joshua.
At the same there were many boxing fans on this forum Wilder haters; Who had predicted that Dominic Breazeale would KO Deontay Wilder or give him trouble in their bout. Which turned out to be a total farce and a lie.
