So many on here are adamant that Ruiz wins on Saturday...
... So what would respective wins do to these fighters' rankings?
If AJ wins he's got that one L but will have shown an ability to overcome adversity, and have added another big name to his resume. He'll be a 2 time unified champion.
If Ruiz wins he will have proved that it wasn't a fluke. Wasn't just Joshua on a bad day. He'll have 3 belts and a major championship defence that dwarfs any defence that Fury or Wilder have managed.
Where do you put them? Surely has to be higher than 3?
Of course he's a big name. He's a top 4 unified champion. He beat the consensus number one.
I don't see anyone calling it a fluke that he beat Joshua. He's there on merit.
He filled in as a late replacement that AJ thought he was going to steam roll. Dont change the fact. Aj lost to someone that isnt reallt good because AJ isnt really any good. Smh
Fury there based on a draw, two bum fights and a fight he won two retirements and a ban ago.
Wilder moved up without beating Joshua. Fury moved up without beating anyone. If Joshua wins, surely he regains his ranking.
A loss to Ruiz is much worse than a draw/loss to Fury/Wilder from each other, even if Joshua avenges the Ruiz loss.
Ruiz couldn't even beat Joe Parker, and his second best win is against freaking Dimitrenko.
1) Fury
2) Wilder
3) Ruiz/Joshua
Until Ruiz/AJ beats one of the big two, they can't be ranked ahead of them.

Oh gosh, that signature made me :rofl:
Wilder > Fury > Ruiz/AJ winner btw ;)
So ruiz, a guy that wasnt even RANKED in the top 15 at the time of beating AJ is now a big name?
AJ beating a guy that wasnt even ranked that KOed him is over coming adversy?
Social media has turned men in to little girls.

If we look at their respective resume then Ruiz/Joshua Winner number 1 (3 belts, 2 notable wins), Fury (lineal champ, 2 notable wins) number 2, Wilder number 3 (WBC champ - 1 notable win), the rest depends.
