    Once again this the Razor who brutally kayoed Dynamite Dokes vs the focused and well-trained version of Spoon' who schooled Bonecrusher Smith. Who is victorious between these two excellent punchers?

    I would like Witherspoon to win this by about a 10th round knockout.

    Ruddock was very overrated. His KO of a way past his prime Dokes was spectacular to see, but Dokes wasn't even considered a contender then. He never really did much to deserve such high praise. He stood up to Tyson, but that was it. Witherspoon would own him.

    WItherspoon would win this hed stop Ruddock late, however unlike Sister Sledge i dont think Ruddock was overrated, Witherspoon might have been a little underrated.

    Spoon in a competitive fight. He could get KO'd too but he was a better overall figher than Ruddock.

    I'll go with Spoon, but I'm not convinced that it would be a knockout.. I'm think Tim takes a decision.

    If Witherspoon shows up in shape, he wins by a unaninimous decison., or K.O. Otherwise Ruddock stops Witherspoon between rounds 9-12.

    Seriously, what major accomplishment did Ruddock ever achieve?
