Razor Ruddock vs 1976 George Foreman

[billeau2]

Ruddock made a name for himself knocking out the old guard who could no longer perform. I really wish that one of the old men he tried to KO was big George. He would have had such a rude awakening.

Not a fan of Ruddock myself. The man had 4 chances(Tyson, Lewis, Morrison) to make it big and he got annihilated every single time. He's exactly the type of victim George preyed upon.

Not really a fan so much... But he had a nice jab, good punching form. Some guys just lose big fights... Even against Tyson, he had Mike reeling and with a bit of desperation could have maybe pulled at least one these fights out.

I will say this. Ruddock was a lot better fighter than he gets credit for these days. He became a one handed fighter but had considerable talent and was not always so limited. Razor also had a chin. I actually think this is a bad match up for George, kind of like the lyle fight where he managed, but where either man could have prevailed.

I don't see anything that stands out as to why this fight would be any different than the Lyle fight.

My thoughts exactly

foreman was a psychological mess after he lost to Ali, physically dangerous but his effort was lack luster. That being said ruddock cant stop Foreman, I would be surprised if he could even drop him. Ruddock looked like a big puncher vs smaller or average heavyweights, but he wasnt hitting hard enough to spark Foreman. Once Foreman hits ruddock its basically over.
