This wouldve been even better then the real fight I think. I think an early stoppage for either men would be likely Thoughts?
Considering a past prime and inactive version of Razor was basically a toss up with him, I don't hesitate in picking a prime Razor at all.
Morrison was primed in 1995 at age 27, while Ruddock was still young enough to rumble at age 31.... Morrison was just better prepared for that fight in Kansas City, Mo... Ruddock was 242 pounds and a smidge too heavy..... Who's fault is that???? Great fight from 1995...... MR.BILL
Ruddock nailed Morrison well with an uppercut in round 1 that floored Morrison... But T.M. got up and carried on........ Cheers.... MR.BILL
Ruddock was shot to pieces when he faced Morrison and Morrison still looked like he was going to get bombed out and Ruddock was still getting up from Morrisons big shots. Morrison landed a nice haymaker, but I dont think that happens with a sharp Ruddock, but its possible, Morrison could punch.
Razor Ruddock would have trashed Morrison in a prime for prime matchup. When this fight was announced, I remember thinking that Morrison and his team were picking Ruddock at the right time. Ruddock had been through two brutal fights with Tyson, was knocked out by Lewis, and then went through a long inactive period. Ruddock was far from being finely tuned...And yet he nearly beat Morrison. Morrison's punching power and speed would always be a threat, but I think a prime Ruddock would be too durable and too aggressive and powerful for Morrison...
The counter hook that Tommy nailed Razor with in around the 6th stanza that dropped Razor like a sack of taters was awesome... How the hell Razor got up is beyond me... However, by that juncture, Razor had blown his load and was running outta gas quickly... Tommy closed the show in round 7 in a wild affair on PPV back in the summer of 1995... I have the tape stashed... MR.BILL:hat
Foreman at age 44 in 1993 and 256 pounds was slow as a snail, while Morrison BOXED the fight of his career on that June night in Vegas.... MR.BILLhat
