    Absolutely not. Usyk would school Ruddock. It would be a wide decision. I've consistently called this era of heavyweights weak but it's wrong. It's a good era of talent. Not as good as the 90s and not as exciting or as skilled as the 70s heavyweights, but there is plenty of talent. These guys just don't fight eachother as often as heavyweights in most other eras.

    Usyk is a nightmare for any heavyweight in history bar Mike Tyson. Ruddock is not realistically beating Usyk, Usyk has an iron chin on top of superior skills.
