    Could Dempsey overcome Ruddock's size and power? What happens when Dempsey tastes Ruddock's left hook smash?

    Originally Ruddock wasn't a "big" fighter he was a typical bulked fighter like Lewis,W. Klitschko,Holy.
    Briggs and the list can go on... I think the old-timers like Dempsey would gain decent muscle mass
    like these modern fighters and this would change the situation dramatically.

    Tyson couldn't put away Ruddock in 1 round not sure that Dempsey would be able to. Ruddock was certainly a flawed fighter but he had heart and pretty good recovery ability. He knew how to smother Tyson with his size when he was in trouble.

    I suspect that Dempey would be a bit more methodical than this version of Tyson.

    He would find ways to chip away at Ruddock, until he broke.

    It is a damn same that Tyson never completed his apprenticeship!

    Would you believe that early Ruddock lost to David Jaco? Yeah, that David Jaco. Figure that one out.

    Odds of this happening seem extremely low.

    If he did, it certainly wouldn't be outlandish. Far lesser fighters, with less power hurt Dempsey.
