Originally posted by saintpat View PostMy point is Ruiz was not a top guy until he beat AJ ... so AJ doesn’t get credit for fighting a top guy since he wasn’t that when they fought. Of course Ruiz should be elevated, but AJ doesn’t get credit for losing to some top-two or top-three guy because Ruiz wasn’t that when they fought.
Likewise, I agree. You can’t pump up AJ’s resume by saying he fought Ruiz without acknowledging that he lost to him. Losing to Ruiz does not enhance AJ’s record.
Ruiz was around top10 before but like anyone, win and you move up.
I didn’t make original post but it’s clearly fair to say Joshua has fought consistently too end opposition where as fury and wilder have only fought a couple each

AJ is in 4th place at Heavyweight now.
Fury:
-defeated younger version of Wlad
-had balls to face Wilder
-undefeated
-Lineal Heavyweight Champion
Wilder:
-had balls to face Fury
-Superior fighter vs common opponent Dominic Breazeale, brutal KO that AJ could only dream of
-undefeated
Andy Ruiz:
-Brutal destruction of Anthony Joshua, took all his belts
Anthony Joshua:
-Living off coatails of Wlad win over 2 years ago
-inferior performance vs Dominic Breazeale, power is clearly lacking compared to Deontay
-suffered brutal defeat at hands of clinically obese Andy Ruiz
-not undefeated
-has no belts
-never became lineal champion
-ducked Wilder
-ducked Fury

So again how is he worse than Wilder?
Once you come back to the real world, you will realize that amongst the top 3 only 2 have fought each other. They also hold a belt or title (even if self-proclaimed Lineal champion).
What does AJ have as of today?

Fury went to germany and beat klitschko, and went to america and beat Wilder although was robbed.
That beats any win or accumulation of wins of either Joshua or Wilder. the only competition to this is Andy Ruiz's win over Joshua.
