    He is 51 and scored a nice KO over a 260lb journeyman.

    nope, he looked like sh+t for the biggest part of the fight.

    the only thing I'm impressed with is that he somehow pulled it out of the fire at his advanced age, but otherwise he's even further gone as I expected him to be.

    I dont think he is going for World Championship, but to just stay active and enjoy the sport. I thought he did pretty well for his age. He still has that KO power. His opponent was 260lb.

    No... But he did better than I thought he would, considering I picked him to lose this one. He should chase the Canadian HW title, winning that would be a nice accomplishment for his age/how long he's been out of the ring.

    Foreman looked similiar and kept the power as well.. Still had a shakey defense and being a second behind on everything .

    Kimbo Slice ices him in the first round, it's that pathetic.

    Foreman was not nearly as old as Ruddock when he first mounted his comeback, heck he was more than a decade younger... He wasn't even as old as Ruddock was when he decided to retire and call it a day.

    I may have mistook your post. Are you talking about aesthetic looks? Foreman had a much less muscular physique, but he was nowhere near as flabby as Ruddock is today, no way....

    No. I just meant it was a nice accomplishment for his age. George foreman was over 10 yrs younger.

    Nah.... Old Ruddock still has enough left in the tank to knock that joke out.
