Razor Ruddock vs 1976 George Foreman

[uncle ben]

The best version of Ruddock and his smash vs the version of Foreman that beat Lyle.

[Thunderstruck]

Razor would have ended just like he did with Lewis eating a big right hand and going to sleep.

Lol now that's a fun ass fantasy fight. I'll take Foreman by early to mid KO, but I bet it's a barn burner while it lasts.

With Foreman's style, I think he'd visit the canvas once he tastes a Ruddock smash. But overall, I favor George.

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.

Foreman smashes. Superior power, punch selection, chin, heart, superior everything pretty much. Ruddock had zero defense. He would eat that penetrating power jab which would allow Foreman to time him.

The bigger question is if they fought in the early 90s. I still say Big George would prevail. Ruddock can't fight going backwards and like every puncher ever, they would run into an immovable object of earth shattering force with Foreman and if they can only fight going forward, they're toast.

Foreman had a great chin. I could see him absorbing Razor's famed Smash.

Could Ruddock's chin hold up against Big George's heavy artillery for 12 rounds?

Lewis got him out of there with a couple of direct hits within 2 rounds.

Tyson couldn't really land solidly, he had trouble dealing with Ruddock's size at close range.

Foreman certainly could, and his power is on Lewis' level. Ruddock isn't eating that. within 3 rounds it's over.

The thing about Ruddock is that he had a short prime when he was really talented. I cannot speak to why he became a one handed fighter... check him out sparring Holmes.



Im thinking if he came in at his best... But not post Tyson.

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.
