Ruiz was unranked, fighting for a vacant version of the least important recognized title, and still lost.
If you're not willing to give more credit for beating the #2 heavyweight in the world for the WBC title than for beating an unranked fighter for a vacant WBO title, then you're a hater, plain and simple.
