Razor Ruddock vs 1976 George Foreman

Foreman early in a short brutal fight.

 

I'll add to it that Ruddock saw the finish line in a 12 round war against Tyson. Foreman saw Jesus after 12 rounds with Young.

 

I'd say this.
Good short little scrap

 

He fought Tyson and gave him some business, so that makes him an ATG? What a joke. Tyson is definitely overrated, then. I knew it. This generation that never even saw Tyson fight overrate him the most. Like their uncles told them nephews that Tyson was unbeatable. No he wasn't. How old was Tyson when Douglas uppercut his mouthpiece out to the canvas?

One-armed fighter, telegraphing one-armed punches? Foreman breaks his face in.

 

I think Foreman wins this. But, if it is the post-Ali Foreman of the Lyle fight, it may end up looking a lot like Foreman-Lyle. With George's heart and chin being the difference.

 

You love bringing up Jimmy Young in every thread, but Ruddock was stopped in 7 rounds by David Jaco (who had amassed a whopping 25 losses, the majority of which were by KO and more losses than Young). He was also destroyed in 2 rounds by Lewis. He was bounced off the canvas by Tyson about 5x, once by Smith, once or twice by Morrison, probably missing a few.

Foreman saw Jesus? Ruddock had Bambi legs and would meet Jesus if Foreman landed flush.

 

One questionable stoppage loss in his prime?

And it was against Tyson?

Got it.

 

There was nothing questionable about that stoppage. And he was in his prime when Lewis knocked him out in 2 rounds. Ruddock was a 28 year old spring chicken and #1 in the world.

Ruddock was not only ranked higher than Lewis, he was favored to win. No amount of copium in the universe can change this fact.

 

Foreman would tear him apart in the first couple of rounds and stop him...
