    Mr. Butt stole my whole post- I was going to mention him holding up four fingers when he said three, and if he can make some noise in the HW division, more power to him. I hope he gets a shot, and if he does shake things up, that's really saying something about the state of HW boxing these days.

    If Ruddock was in his prime now,he would be a world champion. No doubt in my mind.

    He would beat Haye, probably. I don't think he would beat either Klit.

    I'm glad he's back in shape but don't want to see him in the ring.

    I agree. He'd have a challenge with only the Klits, and maybe Haye.
    My point was that ifhe comes back after all these years and picks up better than where he left off, that says something about this era of HW's.

    I agree Stevie, '89-'91 Ruddock beats both Klits & Haye in my opinion. :good

    For his own safety, I hope this Old Ruddock only fights bums for cash, he was shot-to-**** even in '95 when he gave Morrison a war.
    Sadly, he has no chance of not being completely & utterly shot. :verysad

    The trash compactor failed, hes probably in need of some cash. That makeshift gym in his backyard in Jamaica is pretty funny.

    Ruddick originally was more of a boxer...then he became enthralled with his "smash hook" and got bombed out several times.

    Ruddock has talked about a comeback for years.And that is all it has been -talk.I will believe it when I see it but will not hold my breath waiting for it.
    He likes the idea of being a fighter but his heart isnt in it.

    Old Rocky had a makeshift gym in his yard in "Rocky Balboa", & in my mind he beat World Champion Mason Dixon.
