Ring Magazine top-10 heavyweights in 1996

[The Big Dunn]

Why are you lying? Even your name “The Big Dunn” is typically what a Jamaican would say. The exception is if you’re Irish because “Dunn” is an Irish name. And I know you’re not a Celt - the only 2 Irish cuuunts I know here are ginger mlac and Alexguinness.

The Big Dummy the chichi mon.

No I’m not Irish. Not Jamaican. My people came from the Ba***** on my fathers side 3 generations ago. But I’m just American.

I guess I’m technically right since yer ancestry is on the Caribbean Islands.

Not saying you’re not American - American is an immigrant country and the indigenous population don’t even want to be Americans and they have their own flag and passport. So anyone with an American passport is an American.

Give me my flowers - I’m always right. I might need to change my name from “****em” to “Wrighty”.

[BangEM]

Maybe Tyson is British?

We don’t want that midget. He won’t survive in Stoke on a cold winter night and our ATGs don’t get sparked by Danny Williams and McBride.

[BangEM]

I know your head is scrambled.

Scrambled head a week leading up to the fight and Edward Hearn’s greed made Josh the laughing stock of the world. Hearn would sell his mum for a quick bucks and he did AJ dirty. He made £100m in Saudi for the rematch but I doubt he’ll ever be able to shake that embarrassment off.

But he’s never losing a fight again in his career and it’s going to start with an emphatic destruction of Usyk.

[Stuntman Mike]

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 ?

What ? Are you serious ?

Ruiz just went life and death with Arreola and before that lost to parker of all the mediocre heavyweights in a top 10 to ever exist...Joseph Parker "who only has a name because he survived joshua"....

Ruiz and parker are both trash ..aj could be something we shall see but he will always be the glass jawed who can take people out but 50/50 get taken out himself with his China chin and gum shield spitting

[Stuntman Mike]

Dude Akinwande and Lewis both got “McCalled”.

Ruiz would surely do the same thing as he is the modern McCall.

is there a British hwt that hasn’t been slapped around by a mid tier American?

Modern mccall ...****ing Jesus you are so dumb

Theyre nothing alike...ruiz is a fat bum who took out a China chinned champion...

[JakeTheBoxer]

I didn’t claim anything like that. I pointed out the only Americans he’s fought and defeated in the last few years.

When you only beat Euro bums, Minto and Tann level guys, you don’t get a fight with a hwt champ.

Well, Szpilka and Duhaupas are not much higher level than Minto.

Whyte actually has better resume than Wilder, lol.

[sallyField]

No they don’t really .

did you see fat andy's performance against washed up bum hasbeen christobal aeerolas? ruiz isnt any better than 90s heavyweight franky swindell. You are too young to remember. Ruiz is finished he had his 1 moment.

[BodyBagz]

#10 'Spoon would dominate this HW era.

[The plunger man]

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.

Witherspoon was a very good fighter and for me that era wipes the floor with today’s ....even Joshua would lose to Lewis and I’m a Joshua fan and I would not be comfortable watching Joshua try to deal with David tua and mercer....murderous punchers.
