What a load of CRAP this ranking is!!! This BUM should not even be ranked in the top 10 or 15 for that matter!! I wonder how much money changed hands for that ranking?! They rank Ruiz #1 when they still have the SHAME of the HORRIBLE decision from the Holyfield / Valuev fight on their hands. A fight that Holyfield won by a large margin as anyone with eyesight could see. Holyfield at the very least should be the #1 contender….but that too would be a farce becuase he is the rightful champion and the WBA, which I’m starting to believe stands for Worlds Biggest ***holes, has lost all credibilty in the boxing world!!
