    the majority of that list would be heavily favoured to spark todays hws(& I believe todays fighters are very underrated historically due to nostalgia but the top 3 of that list are champ level fighters in any era)

      Akinwande, Golota, Moorer (got sparked by 50-yr old foreman lol), Tua, Witherspoon and Mercer?

      I’d say only Mercer and probably Tua would be top-10 in this era. And they would be where Rivas is.

          Ruiz is better then Tua , Moorer , Witherspoon and Akiwande . Probably outboxes Golota as well who can win all 12 rounds against Ruiz outside Lewis and Tyson who probably knocks him out on the list ?

            That's a pretty solid Top 10 if you ask me.

                I think I made an error in my first post.

                None of them would lose to Ruiz other than Akinwande and Lewis because they’re Brits and every top British HWT’s destiny is to get ktfo by a mid tier, slightly above average American.
