Boxer

The Resume

    (December 21, 1963- )
    Canadian Heavyweight Champion of the World (current)
    Nicknamed 'Razor' for his ferocious style of boxing
    Professional record of 36-5

Why he might be annoying:

    In a heavyweight eliminator, he was heavily favored to defeat Lennox Lewis and proceed to a title shot against the winner of the Riddick Bowe VS Evander Holyfield fight, but a scared Lewis came out charging and floored Ruddock three times for a second round stoppage, sending him into heavyweight oblivion, and putting Lewis on the path to his current status (October 31, 1992).
    He was the last 'name' opponent who Mike Tyson beat.
    Mike Tyson told him he would make him his 'girlfriend,' labelled him a 'transvestite,' and told him to pucker up his 'big lips.'
    At one time a feared heavyweight contender, he is now floundering in the Canadian heavyweight division, who is nearing 40 and overdue for a title shot.

Why he might not be annoying:

    After being manhandled by Mike Tyson in the first fight, he took Mike Tyson the distance in the rematch, although losing by decision.
    He was the first fighter to not only question Mike Tyson's sanity, but comment on it publicly and try to use it as an advantage.
    He is one of many of a string of cursed, yet immensely talented Canadian heavyweights, who are buried by American promoters (Trevor Berbick, Kirk Johnson).
    In his day, the only words used to describe him were 'ferocious,' 'menacing' and 'spectacular.'
    He is confident in knowing that while he may have never conquered the world of boxing, his name will be one that is remembered, even if for being fodder for Mike Tyson to a stepping stone for Lewis.
