prime 1991 razor ruddock vs heavyweight michael spinks ?? who wins?

Ruddock would knock Spinks out.

 

Ruddock

 

I don't believe so. Rudduck was a one trick pony. All he had was that sweeping hook uppercut thing he threw and really that was it. Pawed with his jab. Spinks was very smart and would move away from Rudducks left nullifying the punch. Rudduck won't hit him with it. Over 15 rounds Spinks wins a clear decision.

 

If Spinks can get out of the early rounds and box intelligently then he probably wins a decision. If he starts off too slow as he sometimes tended to do and Razor is able to get off some smash hooker-cuts then it could result in catastrophe for the Jinx.

 

I think Spinks could implement a good game plan to stay away from Ruddock's power and win a decision but there is a solid chance that Ruddock could catch Spinks and knock him out at any point in the bout.

 

It's Ruddock for me. Look at the fights between him and Tyson and compare them to the Spinks fight. Let's face it, Spinks was scare ****less of Tyson, but Ruddock made a good account of himself, and according to Tyson, hit like a ****ing mule.

 

Spinks was very smart. He had the skill to nullify a fighter who had only one real punch to throw. Clever boxing......really basic boxing wins this for him.

 

I don't have a real high opinion of Ruddock, but I believe he takes Spinks out. I am of the opinion that the stars aligned just right for Spinks to achieve what he did. Caught Holmes at the right time, got lucky in the 2nd fight, beat a European tomato can, got a depressed ****ey, and got a payday of a lifetime for getting nearly killed by Tyson.

 

Spinks was a great fighter and he legitimately beat Holmes to win the true title and defended it against another one armed but deadly contender in ****ey by a one sided KO to boot. I do not believe Rudduck with one arm and only one real punch would catch Spinks. Spinks by U 15 round decision.

 

I think Spinks would win and possibly knock Ruddock out. Razor left himself pretty much wide open.

Could Spinks avoid the smash all night? That’s the question, if so he wins. I could see his fast awkward attacks landing with relative ease and since Ruddock won’t fear his power Spinks might just surprise him. Speed is power. But Ruddock was a frightening puncher so he could probably end Spinks at anytime. Tough one to pick.

 

Spinks would win IMO. Ruddock was too one-dimensional to beat Spinks. Tyson was much more versatile fighter, all his punches were dangerous - streight right hand, right hook, right uppercut, left hook and left uppercut, body shots and combinations of all those punches. It's much easier to defend youself against a fighter with one weapon, even if it's extremely dangerous. It was evident in Spinks' fight against Cooney who, like, Ruddock, posessed an absolutely great left hook but not much of anything else. Plus Ruddok was noticebly slower comparing to Spinks while Tyson could match his speed. I think the fight between Spinks and Ruddock would look like a master class and Spinks would probably even stop Ruddock in the late rounds.
