    I know it's very irresponsible for me to match these two flawed but entertaining heavyweights. Both fighters at their respective best.

    How does this one look? You have 6-3 heavyweight with much physical talent vs a 5-11 Pitbull who had wrecking ball of a right hand especially inside.

    I'm sure that Ruddock is going to let Cooper inside. That's why it would be entertaining.

    Ruddock would love this fight,well so would Bert!
    I've got Ruddock smashing Cooper in to defeat, in around 6 rounds.

    Would Cooper have some moments? Hurt Razor maybe? Or is it all one way?

    I'm thinking that sneaky right hand that clipped Holyfield would be in the mix.

    Razor gives him a taste of the smash and puts him down in 4-5

    Ruddock finds a home for the left uppercuts, he stops him around the 5th round.

    The Cooper who smashed Willie De Witt, dropped Holyfield and took everything Ray Mercer could dish out is a handful for anyone.

    Ruddock has more power, his smash is made for Cooper and I think Razor is tougher too.

    I think the fight would look a little like Ruddock-Phil Jackson:

    Cooper got hit with like 100 uppercuts from Holyfield.

    And Moorer finished off Cooper brutally with an uppercut.

    That doesn't bode well vs Ruddock's "Smash".

    Ruddock KOs him within 6 rounds.

    I hate picking against my man, Bert. But, I don't think this fight ends well for him.
