Anthony Joshua v Carlos Takam 28 October 2017

[Master]

Not that I want to defend Haye, but I am sure Valuev and maybe at a stretch Ruiz were top 5 in their day.

Most people think that Holyfield did enough to beat Valuev
But he was probably ranked in the top five when Haye beat him.

Ruiz was 3-3 in his last six fights coming in against Haye
So he certainly wasn’t top five. Barrett was also 3-3 in his last six
And Chisora was 1-3 in his last four!

I did say at a stretch.

Although I do believe Ruiz genuinely believed he could beat Haye as he came at a career low weight which showed he was motivated to beat what he must have believed was a blown up cruiserweight. That idea went all to pot when he was knocked down in the first round.

Ruiz is famous for losing his title to a middleweight.

I loved his fight with Tua though
