    u can check his height and weight stats to figure that out. he was like 6'3 and solidly built but not huge so probably not.

    At his time in boxing he was huge fighter, but not now so much. He was thick.

    Nope, just a very solid heavyweight.

    He used to be skinner and more of a stick 'n' move type, until he started to get addicted to power punching.

    I think he was. Not just tall, he was built like an aztec statue. He wouldn't look undersized at all...even today.

    Guy was a monster.

    He was massive.

    I dont know what people mean when they say "superheavyweight", they are just big heavyweights.

    Most of the guys Wladimir Klitschko is fighting are smaller than Ruddock.

    No.

    Super heavy generally implies they are a tier above the typical heavy in size. In his best shape he was only 230ish and he isn't abnormally tall for the division or anything. Built like a brick shithouse, and certainly a well muscled heavy, but not someone you would class as a super heavy.

    I think he was. Once you had these tall guys going over 235 I think they are classified that way and that movement really started in the early 90's.

    Maybe? He was a big guy who had the ability to turn your lights out.
