Razor Ruddock hit harder than George Foreman

Maybe with his left uppercut that he winded up on delivering via FedEx Express from another state. Foreman hits harder with every other punch despite having little snap or speed. Ruddock was an explosive puncher and often caught guys with shots they didn't see coming. Foreman clubbed and bludgeoned you whether you were bracing for it or not.

 

64% career KO rate vs George's 84%

 

George padded his record, in both careers. Look at his opposition. Hell I'd have an 84% KO rate if I fought those jabronis!!

Both men have top tier power. Foreman can bludgeon you to death but Ruddock's "Smash" was something he'd wind up and land from waaaaay out there.

I dunno. Ruddock has some highlight reel KO's that looked sensational.

 

Ken Norton?
Ron Lyle?
Joe Frazier?
Peralta?
Holyfield?
Moorer?
Cooney?

 

Foreman has far more epic knockouts than Ruddick. But I agree, Ruddock would hit you and foreman would bludgeon you, therein is the difference.

But to make the absurd claim that Ruddock was a more powerful puncher than Foreman is down right preposterous.

 

Here we go with this crap.

 

It's all pure speculation anyway most of the arguments on this site are hypothetical anyway

 

It is likely very close.

 

The latest instalment of did X hit hard or really hard? Ruddock hit hard, Foreman hit hard the difference would be so negligible it would depend how the guy fighting both got hit that would decide their answer.

 

Listen , there is pretty much only so hard anyone can hit with a punch .. Tex Cobb spelled it out brilliantly ... he said Ken Norton once hit him as hard as he was ever hit by anyone .. the difference with a guy like Shavers he went on to say was that Earnie hit you like that every time he landed .. Razor had a nasty hook/uppercut .. I was ringside at the Garden when he took out Dokes and it was one of those moments the whole arena went into shock it was that powerful a moment. that said, pretty much any time Foreman hit you, be it a jab, either hand to the body or head, he was a monster .. it looked like a guy hitting you with a bat .. Razor had monster moments but Foreman was a full time monster.

 

We could've found out who hurt harder, but Foreman wouldn't even set foot in the same state as Ruddock.

 

Cooney was trash, he lost to Holyfield, and two of the remaining guys were really light heavyweights.
