Yes, for some reason I picture George pulling this one out. To me, Ruddock choked on big occasions. He fought timidly against Tyson, just didn't keep the workrate up. George was pretty determined in those days. A Ruddock victory wouldn't surprise me, but I would bet on George coming through. Yes, Ruddock was big, powerful, etc....but at times he was lazy, careless, and often failed to rise to the occasion in big fights.
I would go with Ruddock , he may even stop Foreman late, Prime Ruddock was a monster! Tyson beat the career out of him over those two fights but the Ruddock vs Dokes and Smith man that guy was Nasty and the real deal... Foreman, even old Foreman I have huge respect for but he would be out gunned here.. He may land a few bombs but Razor would take them and give plenty back.. My pick would be Ruddock by a late tko, Holyfield had Foreman out on his feet late in I think like the 9th round from an over hand right and Foreman was saved by the bell, if Ruddock landed enough of those hooks on Foreman it could be curtains for Big George.. I see the ref saving Foreman later in the fight from a fierce Ruddock barrage.. Ruddock tko9..
I can see either taking it really. If I had to pick? Foreman. Ruddock was a bit open against guys his size as Smith and Lewis showed and I think Foremans punches would find the mark usually.
His asthma problems affected him against Morrison too. Ruddock couldn't put the finisher on that fight.
