Boxrec doesn`t regard popularity has the criteria for its ranking. Yes it is true that Ruiz is boring and no one like him but he has had better competition than Klitcko of late, much better actually.
Sanders is an old golf player who averaged 3 fights in 3 years going into the Klitscko fight. Danny Williams is a good journeyman who beat but a shot Tyson. Ruiz beat Golota who was coming off a draw with the IBF champ, he stopped Oquendo and he beat Hasim Rahman before that!
So yeah, why not rank Ruiz above Klitscko on the quality of opponents.

There was no fights. Is it a joke?

Boxrec uses a formula (sort of like the BCS) where they factor in your record and the dificulty of the opponents to determine your ranking.

What is that about? Why dont they just put every Mexican fighter on the list to save them time, they probaly left one out.

Yup Boxrec has a computer system that generates the rankings. NO POPULARITY
