    Like teh George Foreman fight IMO.


    Ali does rope-a-dope, then ko's a gassed Ruddock.

    Ali taunts him, toys with him and then stops him in the mid-late rounds.

    Using rope-a-dope, or standing and fighting with Ruddock??


    I guess Ali chooses rope-a-dope, and takes 7 Rounds to end it. :bbb

    Moves around, firing off sharp punches before knocking him down repeatedly, ending the fight.

    Ruddock was more modern. KO's Ali in 8.

    Ali wins, but Ruddock is not Bob Foster.

    I see Ali dominating from the outset,and stopping Ruddock by the eighth.

    Actually, I think Denton Ruddock would have lasted a few rounds longer.

    Come on.......! Yes,boxing has evolved over the years,like all other sports,but not that much between 1974 and 1991.
