    Donovan "Razor" Ruddock: Unluckiest HW contender

    His name: Razor Ruddock, A feared HW in the early 90s, 3rd.best behind Holyfield and Tyson, he was supposed to face Tyson late in 89' but the fight was called off, Douglas stepped in and scored the greatest upset in Heavyweight history, Ruddock did fought Tyson in 91' and went 19 hard rounds in 2 fights including a broken jaw, he could automatically wait for his turn to get a title shot yet he participate in an elimination bout and took on Lennox Lewis to show his willingness to take on the best, one could think how some undeserving challengers got a break after like Dokes (whom Razor already KO'd) Ferguson, Phil Jackson (another Ruddock victim) and the likes of Seldon, Hipp and Vaughn Bean (who even had 2 chances), just when an already past his best Ruddock will finally get a chance to fight for the HW belt (WBO title vs Vitali klitschko in 2000) he pulled out and in comes Chris Byrd who made Vitali quit! How unlucky Ruddock is, he would have beaten most of them, like schultz, Bruno and even John Ruiz, He's the best Heavyweight who never got a chance to fight for the title.

      I heard a story about Razor vs Tyson {can't remember where} but it said that at that time Ruddock was thought of as the crazer of the two at the time.They said that Tyson's people didn't want the fight because they thought that Ruddock was unstable lol. Anyway that fight was one where both men truly hated each other and actually fought with that passion in the ring . I can't say it enough these were two of the best fights {yet very underated by fans} I have ever seen, bar none .

        I wouldn't go as far as saying that they are two of the best fights i've ever seen, but they were certainly excellent fights, and are constantly referred to, when discussing the Ruddock - Lewis fight, as fights that had 'softened' Ruddock up by the time he fought Lewis.

            Fun fun fights to watch, exactly the type of opponents you need matched against one another to get a true #1 contender.
