    I like other Heavyweights like Muhammad Ali, Riddick Bowe, and Bert Cooper, but I just really admired the performances Ruddock put in against Tyson. I felt he could have become so much more with the right guidance and mindset, but he abandoned the fundamentals and just kept throwing the left hand in hope for a knockout. It changed him as a fighter, and stopped him from becoming a title holder, in my judgment. Interesting character, terrific puncher, and he was a physical specimen to say the least.
