Tyson Fury #1 Heavyweight Ring Magazine

I thought we were counting guys who are currently ranked in the top 10.

If we aren’t, your math on Wilder is off.

Joshua has 7 top 10 victories. Wilder 3. Try again.

Some reasons would be one fighter fought way tougher competition than the fighter with the higher knockout percentage. That isn’t true.

Another would be one fighter didn’t get knockouts when he was fighting four rounders while the fighter with a higher knockout percentage did. That also isn’t true.

Ruiz doesn’t hit that hard, he just hits hard enough to knock out Joshua because Joshua can’t take a punch.

Fury’s power is also underrated.

Another reason is some fighters get stoppages through accumulation where it takes them many clean shots to stop a fighter. That's Tyson Fury. He's a pillow puncher. Ruiz is by far a bigger puncher.

That’s both of them.

You can't be taken serious with such nonsense. A blind man can see Ruiz hits harder. Go watch some KO highlights on youtube and stop embarrassing yourself FFS.

TBRB has Fury number 2, so the ring magazine isn’t that far off lol.

Doesn't matter if Ring magazine is far off. There's no reason to continue to point to Ring as an independent arbiter when they're no longer an independent arbiter. They are literally owned by a promoter now. Their ratings panel already publicly confessed that the ratings became corrupted after Golden Boy bought them. Why continue to give Ring any credibility?

[N/A]

It's no different than the other governing bodies being owned by promoters in everything but name.

But nobody is pointing to governing bodies as independent arbiters who are supposedly above the fray. So why use Ring ratings instead of TBRB ratings when TBRB is just Ring without the confirmed corruption?

...undefeated...
...knocked out...

You're basing ratings on maintaining a 0 or getting knockouts? And disregarding who they actually beat?

FFS, that's boxing in 2019 summed up quite nicely.

So now the fat wrestler is all about TBRB when only a couple of weeks ago he said Boxrec were the best rankings. I wonder why he flip flopped.

It doesn't matter because both parties agree that Wilder vs Fury is for the title.

I don't really care. If they want to make Fury number 1 that is OK with me. I think it is really between Fury and Wilder who is number 1. I had AJ number 1 until he was KOed by Ruiz and winning the rematch did not return him to number 1 for me. Wilder and Fury are rematching so that should settle who is better between the two of them. I thought Fury deserved the win but I also thought the ref gave him far too much recovery time and a long count. Without all the walk this way tests Fury was given while he was recovering and clearing his head Wilder could have pounced on him and probably finished him off. Anyway I don't think anyone is the real champion until they win all the belts. Until then I recognize the winner of the Fury vs Wilder rematch as the number 1 heavyweight but still not the champion which to me is vacant.
