Guys in the other thread were saying this and Im like hold on I know AJ is a bit overrated but his resume cant be THAT bad can it? But then I verified some things.
John Ruiz actually beat a younger Holyfield than the Wladimir that AJ went life and death with.
I remember everyone saying Holyfield was "ancient" so the win didnt mean much but Wladimir was several years older when he dropped prime AJ in his final fight!
Lol no fucking way. AJ has more notable wins with less than half as many fights, and has never been demolished as bad as Ruiz was vs Tua, or shut out by someone who fought at LHW a few months earlier.
Dumb thread. Anthony Joshua is #26 all time on boxrec and Ruiz is #54. Joshua is two time unified WBA/IBF/WBO champion. Ruiz is two time WBA champion. So whether you ignore the belts or if you go by the belts, in either philosophy, Joshua is far ahead of Ruiz.
Ruiz would be undefeated if he fought today.

Hard to find a guy in any other era who doesn't have a better resume than these cvnts.
Absolutely abysmal HW era.
Prime Golota would mop up these frauds.
Not sure Holyfield was less shot than Wlad in 2001.
But I mean, people give James Toney credit for beating Holyfield's corpse 2 years later so why not.
