How did a fight between #2 and #7 at HW turn in to a rematch between #1 and #2?

Yeah I didn't have it nearly as wide as most.
But I did have Fury winning and haven't rewatched it.
I watched it in a pub full of drunken brits in Dubai
Could do with watching it again.

I think my card is completely reasonable. Robbie is just going on and on because he is mad wilder is ranked ahead of AJ. He knows deep down my card is fine.
What he wants is people to elevate Ruiz because he beat AJ such that a win over Ruiz means AJ should be back at #1. That is completely unrealistic. Ruiz was ranked #1 but was never the best HWT in the world, he just beat the guy who was the best HWT in the world.
AJ's loss, coupled with Wilder beating a top 5 ranked Ortiz put him at #1.Comment

He corrected that mistake. Wilder has not so far so shouldn't be ranked so highly. They have him above FUry ffs.

The "mistake" didn't go away Robbie. He lost to an unranked fighter. Wilder beat a top 6 HWT in Ortiz and also Brazeale, who by all accounts was ranked ahead of Ruiz before the miracle upset. Fury, since the draw, fought 2 guys worse than Ruiz, almost losing to Walin.
Wilder deserves to be ranked #1 at HWT.Comment

Joshua beat the #1 HW (Ruiz was #1). Wilder lost to Fury. Wilder should be behind both.The "mistake" didn't go away Robbie. He lost to an unranked fighter.

Wilder deserves to be ranked #1 at HWT.
Ruiz is still rated above Ortiz now, so is obviously viewed as the better fighter.
Wilder is only rated there because of the robbery.Last edited by Robbie Barrett; 02-18-2020, 02:03 PM.Comment

I do think ability wise Fury is probably the best guy in the division (granted hes faced virtually no one in it so theres an element of faith to that)
When it comes to Wilder, stylistically he has probably the best chance against Fury out of anyone currently, because of his reach and one shot power. Nobody else really brings a similar threat. But then at the same time i'm not convinced hes necessarily the 2nd best fighter in the division right now. With the exception of Ortiz he has kept away from top 10 level guys that have skill + power. I cannot imagine his power bailing him out everytime if he had to run a gauntlet of AJ, Whyte, Parker, Ruiz, Povetkin, Hunter, Kownacki, Dubois, Hrgovic, Joyce etc, whereas I think Fury would win all of those fights, most of them comfortably.Comment

Because wilder fans say so. His stock seems to have gone up despite looking terrible in a fight he was heavy favohrite to win and people were saying fury was dumb to take.Comment
