    I’m speaking prime ruddock not shell shocked Morrison / Lewis !!!! The ruddock who showed up against Tyson 2 ??? Honestly I think rudduck of the second Tyson bout would have stopped 1996/97 prime tua !! Styles make fights !!! Tua eating that left uppercut ? Donovan ruddock of 91 knocks out 96/97 version of David tua around rd 9 ?Anybody ?

    Tua catches up with him at some point, Ruddock may outbox him for a few rounds, but he’s not slick enough to stay away and isn’t sniper esque enough like Lewis to keep him on the end of long straight punches.

    If Ruddock did some basic boxing, he'd win.

    So ,Tyson fought in 1991 two times against Ruddock and stopped him in 7 in first fight.

    Yes,for me Tua would stop him as well.

    Probably Tua but I wouldn't be confident Ruddock had a good jab and got up off the floor quickly against big punchers like Morrison, Tyson, Smith

    Tua by late stoppage. IMO he is the more durable of the two and that should be enough.

    1st fight was an early stoppage though to be fair.

    It's poss that Tua stops him but I see more likely a Tua decision.
