    Ruddock had no wins of note, he failed everytime he stepped up, admittedly against 2 top 15 ATG heavyweights in Lewis and Tyson but he was also stopped by another over hyped 90's heavyweight in Morrison.

    Ruddock is dangerous but there's nothing fancy about him and I don't see him beating Wilder.

    Well.. It's kind of hard to have wins of note when the only fights of note you've had are against ATG. Ruddock showed great form against Tyson despite coming up short in both fights. He was past it against Morrison but still somewhat solid. Wilder might well beat that version but he isn't beating the late 80s/early 90s version.

    Tbh iirc the Morrison v Ruddock was an exciting fight?

    Yeah it's a solid scrap. Definitely worth a watch.

    Ruddock will blow Wilder's back out. Ruddock absolutely murdered Dokes and gave Mike Tyson one of his hardest fights. Wilder blasted out Ortiz but he got his head boxed off before, got saved by the bell and was getting dominated in the rematch until Ortiz's billion year old legs ran out
