    I think Quarry outlasts him and bangs him out of there after taking a beating that shortens his life expectancy.

    Honestly, if Foster couldn't do it...

    I'll put my money on Quarry. I always thought Razor's power was awesome, and then that was about it. That and a lot of the stories I hear about Razor make him look like a complete stubborn ass.

    I'd expect Quarry to win.

    He beat Mac Foster, Ron Lyle and Earnie Shavers when they were all up-and-coming and hyped punchers, which is exactly what Ruddock was at his peak.

    I like Quarry by UD. While he struggled against slick boxers (Ellis, Ali, Machen) and swarmers (Frazier, Norton), he was brilliant against big, plodding power punchers (Lyle, Foster, Shavers).

    Hard fight to call. Quarry sometimes fought like a fool. If Quarry thinks he could beat Ruddock by standing and trading shots, I think he looses. If Quarry uses his skills, and fights smart, I think he wins.

    Though Quarry did beat punchers like Shavers, Lyle, and Foster, Ruddock was more durable that these three.

    I'd go with Quarry via UD, but its a near pick em' type of fight in my book.

    Agreed,

    Quarry's only chance would be to get Ruddock out of there early, and I'm not sure that he could do it. Ruddock was the much larger and stronger of the two, and had power to complement it. He took some very hard shots from Tyson, Smith and Morrison showing that he had a certain amount of durability. He was also a deadly left hooker which is often a treacherous asset. I see Quarry boxing well in the early rounds, but given his tendency to cut and wear down late, Ruddock's power and persistance would become a cummulative factor as the fight progressed. Sure I could see Quarry winning, but if I had to pick, I'd go with Ruddock by a TKO in the mid to late rounds.

    A lot of people give Ruddock a low rating as a contender because of his early destruction against Lennox Lewis. This cannot be used as a measure when sizing him up to the much smaller Quarry. Lewis had great size and power which Quarry would not have over Ruddock. Plus, I'm not sure that the Ruddock who fought Lewis was the best version we've ever seen. Razor, in my opinion looked his best in April of 1990, when he dusted an aging but still competitive Michael Dokes. He would not fight Lewis for another 2.5 years, and along the way would endure two poundings from Mike Tyson, which may have diminished him a bit.

    Dokes was Ruddock's best win. Dokes may have had his best fight a year earlier v.Holyfield, and that may have been his last hurrah effectively, but he was the highest-ranked fighter Ruddock would ever beat. All credit to Ruddock for that devastating win, but his win column isn't amazingly impressive.

    Generally, Ruddock only ever beat over-the-hill guys, and second-raters.

    Quarry however, he beat some "live" opponents, good ones like Lyle, Spencer, Shavers, Foster, he beat Patterson when Floyd was still a good contender. And he beat a host of second-raters.
    His track record is at least twice as heavy on quality as Ruddock's.
