    Ruddock for me better durability and a bigger man although this could go either way with two massive punchers but I'd favour Ruddock based on what I said above.

    I like Shavers’ chances more than Quarry’s because he could deliver a fight ending right hand.

    Ruddock could do this.
    Then again shaver s could land something and put Razor out like a light.

    It's a shootout that realistically either could win, so you can't predict it with too much confidence either way.

    Stylewise, I think Ruddock would find the opening for the smash and take Shavers out within 5 or 6. He had height and range on Shavers, better movement, and was good at setting up angles for his signature punch.

    But, I'd probably have said the same thing about Ruddock-Morrison if they had never thought. Shavers landed on most guys he fought, so it's a really fine balance for both of them as long as the fight lasts.

    Ruddock was a shell of himself by the time he fought Morrison.

    I think Ruddock gets up to stop Shavers, but it could go either way when both men can punch like that and don’t have the greatest defence.
    Not a fight to bet on.

    Two mediocre fighters armed with nukes. **** if I can predict what happens. Would love to see it though. Could be a sloppy war. Could end in 12 seconds. No idea.
