Donovan "Razor" Ruddock vs Wladimir Klitschko who wins?

[TheGreatA]

that's actually not a bad matchup. it all depends which donovan we're talking about.

if you're talking about the donovan that was trained by floyd patterson then i'll go with wlad by ko. patterson totally ruined ruddock.

now if we're talking about the ruddock that fought in two memorable wars with tyson and also knocked out michael dokes then i'll take razor by early ko.

I'm not sure if Patterson training him made any difference. I think he was simply ruined by the Tyson fights.

Ruddock was quite one-dimensional in my opinion. Early on he was more of a boxer but after developing the "Smash", he rarely threw anything but that one punch.

For years I have been looking for a clip of Ruddock's fight with Bonecrusher Smith.

Early on that fight Bonecrusher landed a right hand on Ruddock that nearly tore his head off. It made him cartwheel for crying out load!LOL

Crazy **** it was. How Ruddock got up from that to knock Smith out later is even more of a mystery.

Ruddock always seemed to go down heavily but he also got up fairly easily vs Tyson, Smith, Lewis and Morrison.

Amen brother! Couldn't have said it any better.Patterson tried to make him a boxer & ruined him.

Who wins out of these 2. I think this would be a good match up. Both can be hurt both carry good power and some skills.

ruddock would have been dangerous but wlad is probably too skilled. ruddock didnt have much of a jab and really relied almost exclusively on his left hook. wlad would be able to foucs on that and probably avoid any damage. ruddock's defense was also pretty lousy

hahahaha...

Naw, Razor
could apply good constant pressure and was heavy handed....

He also had a chin, that held up in the most part against Tyson, before getting KO'ed....

Wlad doesnt hit as hard as Tyson, and would be able to take the constant pressure and power of Ruddock late...

I see Wlad taking the early rounds (1 and 2) but Razor coming on late and KO'ing Wlad in 7 or 8.....

one of the best left hooks of all time was tommy morrisons that floored rud****, how the **** he even got up i dont know ,but he was going to get hurt bad. ref did a good job in stoping it tommy was fixing to land another left hook that could have killed rud****.and morrison was a one punch fighter .and you think rud**** would have stood a chance aginst wlad .no way he made it past 4.

could be quite a good fight actually

could go either way, but if wlad could avoid getting clocked with the home run shot he probably wins a UD

Styles make fights and Ruddock was not the same after the Tyson fights, If you watch his fight against Smith he was very good imo. Post Tyson Wlad would def win but before it would be a close run thing imo.
