Razor Ruddock vs Tommy Morrison?

Ok mate we don't have to agree about everything if not a forum would be very boring

 

So, I just reread through the whole of the thread to make sure I wasn't gonna share anything that had already been, and good lord, guys...good lord, GOOD LAWD, that was painful, I mean, good to the gods above, lemme tell ya what, it hurt me to do so, my boxing friends, it hurt me. But, for you all...anywhosits. Going through the thread was nearly as painful as watching the fights of Ruddock's I have sat through in my life. But here is one of those frequent moments of odd coincidence. Earlier in this thread was made mention of the Ruddock fight that happened between the Lewis shellacking and the Morrison shellacking, and the coincidence is that on the classic forum here, just the other day even, someone was asking questions regarding the sweetfights.com website and what the sell etc. Weirdly enough, sweetfights' YouTube channel just posted that fight, that being Ruddock vs one 290 lb Anthony Wade. I've not yet been able to watch the whole of the fight just yet, and it doesn't sound like the fight itself is one I'll find to be worth sitting through, which say's a lot, trust me, as I will sit through some stinkers. As I write another surefire masterpiece here, for you, I have had the fight playing on another tab, and have been listening to the commentary work of the then standard Showtime crew* and, very thankfully, it sounds quite likely that they'll provide a good enough reason to sit through the fight as it sounds as though a ton of laughs are definitely in store as they are going in, ALL IN, on the Razor's performance, bringing guns to a Razor fight, if you will. Enjoy if you choose to do so....
PS: Ruddock and Morrison both were serviceable fighters. There is not a single thing to be ashamed of in that. But they weren't to much more than that. One is known to the non-hardcore fan strictly on account of losing twice to Tyson, and the other is known to the non-hardcore's for acting in the worst of the Rocky's, being the most well known of the American "Great White Hypes" of his era, and for the whole AIDS debacle. Serviceable fighters. The end.

Douglas had bigger private problems much bigger than Tyson but won!Real warriors do not quit because that I belive Frazier,Marciano,Ali and Foreman would beat Tyson!

 

He was beaten by bum in late 80s by Jaco whom Morrison killed!
Also how Ruddock past prime after two fights with Tyson but Holyfield,Foreman...did not past prime after all those wars!
You did not mentioned that Morrison was not same fighter he was in late 80s to 1993!
At the time he fought Ruddock not only he was drugs and alchohol abuser but he was very sick and diagnosed with HIV and did nit train at all!
He came after hard losses against Mercer and Bentt!
But he did not pull excuses like Tysonitea!

 

Douglas had bigger problems than going to prison for 3 years?

Buddy, it's obvious you weren't around in those days. You're hammering a bunch of tripe here that was in no way in line with the thinking and perception when Tommy was actually fighting. There is a reason he was only ranked in the annual Top 10 twice in his career, and both times at number 8. He just wasn't that good.

 

Douglas had bigger problems than being in prison and resting and doing nothing there!Did Tyson excusing ass had those problems?
Douglas mother and father died!
His coach left him!
He had problems with money!
His wife had problem govong birth!
Whole community put preassure on him!
He was not good but you pulled excuse for Ruddock how he past prime after 2 fights which is laughable because Tyson could not beat him but you did not mentioned that he fought washed drug and drink addict with HIV unprepared for fight and than Tommy was in his prime which is funny!

 

Of course he didn't pull excuses, or whatever it is your attempting to get across, especially regarding the HIV/AIDS because.......he didn't have it, remember? That isn't what killed him, remember? Ergo, he just sucked because he sucked. He just sucked because he enjoyed drinking beer and getting high and screwing boxing groupies, regardless of gender. So Sugar Ray Robinson reincarnated had he not done all of those things, and we should not hold that against him, but instead recognize his greatness that didn't happen cause otherwise it would have happened?
But for real, he did die denying he had the illness that killed his ass. But here we see you sticking up for, and hard too, for a guy who, before going off the deep end with the rest of the "vaccines are bad" type whack-jobs, and denying he had a disease he had admitted to having in front of the whole world just a few yrs previous, was almost absolutely assuredly fighting for at least 2 yrs against opponents who had no idea whatsoever what he had, and he DID. They have gotten as close to proving that as they will ever be able to, you know, on account of his having died from something other than what killed him that didn't kill him. My hero.

 

He did have AIDS and he was diagnosed in 1989 and was caught 1995 by comission!
He was abuser of everything!
But he did not pull excuses like Tysonites that Rusdock past prime after 2 fights but Morrison was not after all happened to him!
If he was not infected by HIV why he looked like dead man before he died?Did you even saw how he looked before he died?

 

Shut up

 

You shut up!Get your Tysonit ass out of here!Or you would bring another excuse?

 

Shut up !!!

 

Oh he is angry better watch out!
Man what is next excuses?Tyson did not **** right for fight?Cmon!

 

He will get booted very, very soon.

 

Please, do you not have enough people too argue with in your own "lingua franca," because, while I commend you for attempting to argue your "points" in a language that can't possibly be your mother tongue, your lack of understanding many subtleties in written English, mainly sarcasm here, is causing all kindsa goofiness. but it's not only that, because it appears that you don't also know a lot of the history of what you're trying to argue as well. An example being when I tell you that Morrison did not die of AIDS, that is a sarcastic statement because we all know that he almost certainly did die of AIDS, but you appear to not know that he went to his grave publicly saying that he was NOT dying of AIDS. At some point in his life, after announcing to the world that he had HIV/AIDS and was gonna devote his remaining time to doing all kinds of charity work that would go along with that he got with some whackadoo broad and they both decided that wasn't what he was dying of said acquired immune deficiency syndrome, the end result of his at some point being infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
Again though, I would like to make the point that you're defending a guy who knowingly continued fighting other men when knowledge at the time should've had him believing that he could've killed any of those guys with his blood. But he didn't give a folk.

 

Again, anyone who was seriously into the sport in the 90's, and had even minimal access to some of the players, knew that Morrison was an enabled lottery ticket, not a serious contender. At a time when the heavyweight ranks were top to bottom black, he was a white guy (which is even bending the truth) who threw a flashy left hook and looked great against used up fighters and opponent types. For serious contenders, Tommy was a walking pay day.
