AJ was an undefeated champ and the best in the HW division. To overlook it as just an upset and say AJ wasn't good enough when you have guys like Pascal, Rungsval, and Gonzalez....
Ward over Kovalev. Some people (myself included) thought Kovalev won the first fight. Ward came back and stopped him in the rematch, which was pretty impressive. Marquez was obviously on PEDs for the fourth Pac fight, so that one is out. Mayweather ran and constantly clinched his way to survive a one-armed Pac in the "fight of the century," so that fight was terrible. Ruiz over Joshua was a huge upset, so that would be my second vote.

AJ wasn’t the clear #1 by any stretch. Based off the flaws exposed in the Ruiz fight there’s no way anyone can reasonably suggest he should have been ranked higher than Fury or even Wilder for that matter.
Pascal I’ll accept but he was the lineal champion and clear #1 in the division, besides that win is more about a 46 year old man recapturing the Light Heavyweight title.
Roman Gonzalez is a far better fighter than AJ will ever be and was p4p #1 at the beginning of 2017. Comparing AJ to him is a disgrace. Gonzalez is a far superior fighter in every department. C’mon man you can’t be serious suggesting Ruiz-AJ is the same calibre as SSR-Gonzalez.
Of the fights you listed my vote goes to Mayweather beating Canelo although he should have fought him at 154 instead of draining him to 152 or no fight. Still even with the catchweight it was a very good win.
