Valdez arguably beat better comp but also lost to about a third of his opponents, including a few who were well below Ruddock's abilities. So given that its a double edged sword I'll side side with the razor's edge
He sure had some shoulders on him when he was prime. What a pity he didn't have the discipline to box and follow his corner's instructions he had a decent jab if he would have only used it.
Yeah I saw that on boxrec. I can't imagine why he'd be fighting again unless he was broke, which is pretty sad if true.
