And Andy Ruiz deserves credit for his win but it doesn’t make him a top fighter, like Buster Douglas was never considered a real top fighter because he had no
longevity around the top of the division, like Ruiz. Nobody is discrediting the wins on that night, it just doesn’t make them top class fighters in general.
Wlad and Wilder were in the top 3 of the division for years. So they are real top fighters, as are Fury and AJ.
Let’s not pretend AJ beat some top level fighter in the Ruiz rematch. He beat a mediocre fighter that he should never have lost to in the first place, that’s just the reality. It should never have even got to that point.
AJ wasn’t really considered no.1 when Ruiz beat him anyway. The likes of the ring magazine had him behind Fury.
plus as I said. Fury is a 2 time ring belt holder, you only get those belts fighting the true top fighters. That’s why AJ has never even fought for one. He’s never fought the calibre of opponents that Fury fought in big defining fights. Fighting faded names or ex champs at about 40 or flash in the pan fighters like Ruiz doesn’t mean you are fighting top quality opponents.

That's not how it works. Since when does being more popular mean more credible? Fans on sites like this are more credible than casuals. The ring is seen as not credible because they're owned by a promoter. ESPN work with top rank. Boxrec is just garbage. So what's left? TBRB the most credible rankings on the net.
