Heavyweight boxing is the best it’s been in years. At the top, there are the likes of Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, and now Andy Ruiz Jr. who is coming off of a shocking knockout win over Joshua. Although they all haven’t all fought each other, many rank them as the top-four. And, UFC president, Dana White agrees. In an interview with BT Sport, he decided to rank the four of them.

When Deontay Wilder fought Tyson Fury back in December it was one of the marquee boxing fights of the year. There, “The Gypsy King” seemed to be winning the fight until “The Bronze Bomber” hit him with a combination of strikes that knocked him down. Miraculously Fury got up from brutal knockdown and fought the final minutes of the fight. And, when the scorecards were read it was announced a draw, the expectation was an immediate rematch would happen. But, that was not the case. Rather, Deontay Wilder took on Dominic Breazeale and is now slated to rematch Luis Ortiz in September.

“It’s going to be part of my legacy, these injuries,” former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz said on a recent episode of Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “How many people go through life with problems? Life is no different from fighting and that’s why I love fighting so much…whether you play sport or not, athletes go through and build through adversity on a stage that the general public can connect to.” As humans, the arrival of setbacks, adversity and loss in our lives is virtually guaranteed. And while we often revere our favorite fighters to near god-like status, they are no different in their susceptibility to suffering than the rest of us.
