    How does Ruddock fare against the prime version of Dokes?

    Depends on the state of mind and condition that Dokes is in for the match. Dokes looked to have the better of the action against Ruddock until he was blasted out and credit to Ruddock for having the power to pull off the win. Perhaps years earlier Dokes could have kept that up for 12 or 15 rounds though.

    In all fairness, the 220 lb Dokes who fought Holyfield might have took one from Ruddock.
