    more accomplished fighter: john ruiz or hasim rahman

    tough choice. even though rahman lost to ruiz and has less wins against top contenders, he once was the true heavyweight champ of the world, knocking out lennox lewis.

    one thing is for sure, they both achieved more than quitali quitschko.

      Both average but I gave it to Rahman purely for his win over Lewis.

        They're both the same type of fighter. Average on their best day who got lucky in their biggest fights against an opponet who wasn't training seriously. I would place Rahman slightly higher than Ruiz but that's probably because John Ruiz is the only fighter who's ever put me to sleep aside from Jermain Taylor (when he fought Cory Spinks).

                As ugly as his style is, Ruiz was a valid champ, title holder.. whatever you want to call it...

                Rahman was NEVER able to defend his title.
                End of story!

                  Ruiz was a true champion...Rahman was a one punch wonder.

                  Ruiz get no respect here..he was as good of a champion as Bird was, even better in my book.
