    Who was better and who would win H2H?

    How do they compare to contenders of other eras (like Folley, Machen, Quarry, Ellis, Page, Coetzee) and of this era (Byrd, Haye, Klitschko)??

    Rudduck wins...Greater might be debatable.

    As far as the other contenders listed they are on par and would likely win and lose through that list.

    Rudduck I'd certainly pick to win, as Philly said though it's debatable whether he's greater

    A typical Bruno experience,really. I see Frank's better overall boxing building up a points lead for him,only for Ruddock to start landing his 'smashes' as soon as Bruno tenses up and gets tired.


    Ruddock circa round nine.

    Ruddock within 6 rounds. Wouldnt use the term 'greater', 'Better' would be my choice of words cos neither deserve the use of the word

    Ruddock would catch Bruno eventually and stop him.

    Frank's best chance of winning would be to catch Ruddock early with his best shots. Tall order though.

    Ruddock by late TKO with Big Frank ahead on the cards but slumped against the ropes looking half dead in yet another gallant defeat.

    I voted close fight, however ruddock has a hell of a chin and
    Power to boot. Frank outjabs/outboxes Ruddock, then gets
    caught late ending in TKO9. Or Frank outboxes Ruddock, then
    catches Ruddock with a monster right when he goes for his
    "Smash" 50/50 imo. Both guys could beat all the fighters that
    you listed
