    So with Andy Ruiz's earth shattering upset completely changing the heavyweight landscape in NYC last week how do we feel he fares against another unexpected usurper of the heavyweight crown Hasim Rahman?

    Let the battle of the plucky underdogs commence!

    I pick Ruiz jr here based on a HUGE speed gap.

    Don't forget that Rahman lost to less talented Ruiz - Johnny, while being in his prime.

    Ruiz was Joshua`s Mercer, Lewis was hurt by Mercer at the Garden but he dug in Joshua quit.

    Until we've seen Ruiz win against a high level of opposition on a consistent basis, it has to be Rahman.
