    Ruddock by ko. Razors smash gets him hurt early imo.

    Henry’s one of my favorites and he’s got a puncher’s chance, but even though he’s gotten a lot of mileage from the flash knockdown of Ali, he struggled against really elite competition, not that Ruddock is an ATG. Cuts stoppage in about 5 or 6.

    Henry's a bit too small and one handed for this one.

    Cuts? I think clean KO is more like it.

    The only people who put Henry down for the count were Floyd Patterson, Zora Folley, Ingo and Joe Bygraves. Ruddock may have had a big punch but he wasn’t in the class of the first three of those.

    If he can land on Tyson, he can land on Cooper.

    Well he may have landed on Tyson but Tyson also beat the jerk stuffing out of him twice …

    Cooper's not Tyson. When Ruddock lands his smash on the 185 pound, not so iron chinned Cooper, Cooper go sleepy bye.

    Whatever, as usual we’ll never know for certain. Ruddock is just another fighter like Morrison that I’ve never been overly impressed with, can’t really explain why but I always pulled against him, was hoping Tyson and Lewis would ice him. And you can get an idea of where I’m coming from in my recent answer in the “unpopular opinions” thread.
