Donovan Ruddock vs. Frank Bruno in 1994

Tough one to call. I've a slight leaning towards Bruno.

 

Ruddock was a bit past it in 1994 and Bruno was making another run for a title shot. The only thing I can envision is Bruno knocking Ruddock down early before succumbing to the "smash" late in the fight.

 

I could see either winning but I would always lean towards the big puncher with the better chin which in this case would be Ruddock. Ruddock might be able to get up from Brunos shots, but Bruno was a **** finisher and would freeze if he was hit hard by Ruddock.

 

Ruddock was a one handed fighter with limited boxing ability. i see Bruno using his excellent jab to set Ruddock up for a big right hand.. Bruno KO6

 

He was limited, but not as limited as Bonecrusher Smith for example. I could see Ruddock getting his butt kicked before landing a good shot and hurting Bruno badly, but yes Bruno was a much better boxer.

 

Ruddock would have been coming of a minimal 15 month layoff even if he fought Bruno instead of Wade in January.

Along with this Bruno looked much better after his loss to Lewis than Ruddock did.

Bruno UD unless one of them bombs the other out early.

 

Roddock was horrible against Tony Wade in 1994, so he was falling by then... I'll go with '94 Bruno who was on a streak despite also losing to Lewis in late 1993.....

Bruno W 10 Ruddockbbb

No KO.:-(

MR.BILL:hat

 

more like who looses and why, neither had very much left at that point Mr. Bill. Oliver Mccall was not in right state of mind when fighting Bruno according some, Bruno got the win and the belt though, so it looked good to his fellow brits that all that mattered.

 

No shame in looking bad against Tony Wade though Mr. Bill, Wade was a bad dude. Dwayne I mean not Tony. Who the hell is tony wade ? You love see the slogging old war-horses duke it out, when they have nothing left, is this some kind of fetish with you because you keep bringing it up ?!?! I hope you don't have any bodies in your houses like that Anthony Sowell guy in East Cleveland.

Bert Cooper vs Jorge Luis Gonzalez 2005, who wins guys ? Any takers

 

Rock,

Don't make me show up at your front door....:twisted:

 

Ok Mr Bill, seriously , I'll stop I commented on Morrison Tillis before the cease fire though. I'm just a young goat with a lot of **** and vinegar thats all, i like to try to show up my elders at times. Nothing Personal,

By the way about barn burners of days past have you seen

Bobby Crabtree vs Trevor Berbick

Crabtree as limited as he was and small fought with a lot of heart, I should have seen more scalps from him then just King Iptian. strange

 

Ruddock within 3 rounds. Again, Bruno's power is vastly overated on this forum, surprisingly by some people who should know better

 

No lad.:verysad

 

Yes lad

Name one, just one, 'live' fighter he ever KO'd? Seriously. And dont say Coetzee, he was over for a payday.
