    Pretty awful to see these broke boxers being forced to "come back" to fight for tiny purses and risk their health. Why can't they live within their means and simply save money for their retirement?

    Yep. He's being boxed in to fight Wawrzyk.

    Was there. He got brutally KOed... Hopefully his career ended last night.

    Holding any formal title one has to be formidable on some level..he went for it at 51,thats basically it!doubtful he will return unless its small fights with decent paydays!

    If Ruddock stays around he should only fight guys like Danny Williams, Botha and other washed up heavies from a bygone era. He might beat Danny, but I think even old Botha might do him in.

    So watched that on Youtube... Sad. Shavers was taking it to him, and had the 1st and almost 2nd banked before trading shots with him.
