If Ruddock, at his very best, faced every lineal champ from John L to Fury, who does he more than likely defeat? Or at least the highest rated lineal champ? IYO.
These are all maybes: - Shannon Briggs - Hasim Rahman - Leon Spinks - Foreman in 1997 who Briggs fought - Buster Douglas of the Holyfield fight - ingo Johannson - Floyd Patterson - Jack Sharkey - Primo Carnera - John L. Sullivan - James Jeffries - Jess Willard - James Braddock - Jim Corbett - Fitz ( maybe ) - Michael Moorer Some of them would be no more than a puncher’s chance
Late 70s Ali would get put in the hospital. He’d be a dark horse to beat mid 80s Holmes too. He looked good in their sparring videos.
Ruddock probably kills all of them. This man had the hardest left look in boxing history (Frazier had the most effective).
He probably things you're trolling. Pretty much nobody on this board believes Ruddock would kill ever lineal champ. Prime Holmes and Ali would have had him staggering all over the ring in 12. Joe Louis would have run over him in 7, 70s Foreman as well. The Bowe who beat Holyfield would have stopped him in 8. 80s Tyson would have slaughtered him quicker than Lewis. I'm not even sure Ruddock would get past prime Mike Weaver, to be perfectly straight.
