Razor Ruddock vs Frank Bruno

Frank Bruno.

Everybody who beat Frank beats Ruddock -and I include the version of Bonecrusher that Bruno fought not the shell that Ruddock fought.

But Frank was a guy who could beat anybody when the pressure wasn’t on him. When the pressure was on Frank to win it drained the life out of him.

 

I think Bruno would win boxing being his jab and firing in big rights as Ruddock moves forward.Razor went power mad latter in his career and forgot his boxing .Both big punchers with the capacity to knock each other out with one shot but Ruddock takes more chances.great fight.

 

Ruddock a more natural fighter, faster, can survive when hurt...
Ruddock would hurt him at one point and Bruno will froze

 

I gotta go with Ruddock. I think it would start out great. But eventually Ruddock catches Big Frank with something substantial, and Frank goes downhill quickly just like he did against Lennox.

 

Its long forgotten that the reason Razor fought Tyson was that after his
brutal ko of Dokes nobody wanted to fight him. Like Mugabi with Hagler
fight the two Tyson fights ruined him and the Morrison and Lewis were
not the true Razor. Razor that fought Tyson would hit too hard and be
too rough for Bruno. Razor ko in 8 .

 

Bruno had a style that would trouble razor because he was a straight puncher and a more fundamentally sound puncher with long reach as well. But razor could move, was much faster, incredibly athletic and still dangerous late in fights.
Not sure

 

How would Bruno evade the smash?

 

Frank takes a lead, even dropping Ruddock, until the inevitable fall from The Smash.

 

When Bruno was in control the other guy never got off. Not until Bruno got tired anyway. Not even Lewis could get off against Frank -until he got tired- but you had to be pretty good to suck it up and reach that point. I don’t think Ruddock was quite good enough. People got carried away with Ruddock but it was over one win. A faded Dokes. What else was there to go on? David Jako wiped Ruddock out early in his career. Nobody that bad bothered Frank early in his career.

 

Jumbo Cummings had Bruno out on his feet at the end of certain round, if Ruddock caught him like that the fight would be over, Ruddock fought better against Tyson than Bruno did even though I didn`t think he looked that good in their two fights he showed more guts than Bruno who just gave up, when Ruddock hurt Tyson he went for it.

 

Oh please. Ruddock wasn't a shell of what he was to become and also had severe asthma problems at the time. Once he developed he was 30 pounnds heavier and a totally different animal.

He was beating Jaco handily until what was deemed a medical problem set in.

 

It's a pickem fight I tend to lean towards RR aggression and power to catch Bruno mid to late...though I would not be opposed to Bruno's more disciplined straight punches beating Ruddock

 

I think Ruddock was tougher and had better recovery ability. I would have to favor Razor Ruddock. I see Bruno doing well early and probably shaking Ruddock a few times. Razor was pretty tough though.

Ruddock stops Bruno.

 

Just watched some of Ruddock`s fight against Mike Weaver. Razor was still a prospect at that time but he fought so much better. He actually got worse as a boxer as he became more prominent as a contender. Against Weaver he used his jab and dropped the right cross in behind it. He moved fluidly and he had spring in his legs. No sign of the Smash. Had he kept this style he could have been a great heavyweight.
