    AJ likes to get involved this would suit Razor A war would result .the smash landing on AJs chops would be interesting.

    Ruddock had the left hook power, but he was not a guy who would be champion. Too inconsistent and shaky chin for a big guy. I think Joshua eeks thorugh in a tough fight. Ruddock was just overrated a bit. Great left hook.

    I would slightly disagree and say that if ruddock were around today and with the more professional management of this age rather than a murad muhammud..ruddock would for sure be a long time alphabet titlist ala a denotay wilder or parker. His run of victories over weaver,bonecrusher and dokes up to confronting a still formidable tyson twice in 4 months was pretty impressive

    Ruddock was a one trick pony, that wild "Smash" of his would leave him wide open for a hard right hand, Joshua would wipe him out like Lewis did.

    AJ would get sparked in under 5 RDS.
    Razor could take AJs shots but AJ couldn't take his.
    And Razor landed from weird angles that AJ hasn't seen before and can't train for.

    He took Wlad's shots, Joshua looks like he can take a better punch than Ruddock.

    Ruddock was significantly harder puncher than Joshua.Against the unprepared Takam Joshua's punching
    power wasn't impressive.Plus i think the prime Ruddock was better than the old, shot W. Klitschko
    who exposed Joshua's questionable chin and stamina.
