This one would've been fun, these guys were two of my favorites in the 90's. I was able to see both fight live and of course had (still have) all their fights taped, on that now beautiful relic of our past the VCR.... lol. This is a tough call, my original thought was Razor by KO, thinking he probably owns the sturdier chin.. But MM was much more polished, threw much better combos, was a southpaw and also hit damn hard with both hands.. So I'm on the fence, one thing is for sure I think it'd be a can't miss fight with both men hurt and probably down. If I had to make a call I'd say if Razor doesn't get him early then Moorer probably gets him late. I'm going to assume Moorer whethers the early storm, and fights fire with fire hurting Ruddock and getting his respect and when it gets late I think it'll be Moorer standing at the end and stopping Razor in the 9th!!!
you have to favour moorer over the overrated ruddock, after all moorer did beat holyfield and was champion of the world, the legend of ruddock is based on 2 losses against tyson. Moorer by ko or clear decision
Why should he knock Jaco out in the first round? How many people did tua ko in the first round before beating Moorer?
why? because jaco is probably the worst hw in the history of boxing and he lasted 7 rounds with ruddock... old foreman alex stewart,and green tyson stopped him in 1... wow you are using david tua as example, tua is easily a top 5 hardest punchers ever and stylistically was all wrong for moorer... also tua had granite chin.and ruddock got stopped in every defeat that he has
There's been plenty of HW boxers worse than Jaco. Jaco is someone you've actually heard about. Imagine all those who never even get to his level. I used tua because he did beat Moorer in 1. Who is his power actually proven against for you to rate it top 5? Ruddock didn't get stopped in every defeat he had. That just isn't true.
really? except with jaco that he had an asthma attack. he got stopped by morrison,lewis,tyson in the first fight, and the bum that he fought in 2015 knocked him out.
and earnie shavers? please.. tell me the great names of the fighters that shavers stopped... shot norton? can you imagine imagine him surviving against tua? no... so let's to continue... who? the 190 pounder jimmy ellis? please compare his style to byrd and tell me that ellis survives to tua , i want to laugh... jimmy young by tko when he was green like a plant ? (he lost against him when young matured). MY POINT... SHAVERS STOPPED.PURE GARBAGE... AND STILL NOBODY WILL SAY THAT THE GUY COULD NOT HIT.
I never mentioned Shavers. You said Tua is the top 5 hardest hitters, upon what do you base that claim?
Your answer doesn't change that Ruddock was not stopped in every defeat he had. It isn't convenience it's fact.
