I forgot what a powerhouse Ruddock was. He was built like a 6'3" Tyson. It's a pity he didn't have Tyson's chin or skill.

he was decent till he slaughtered dokes with the smash in the 4th .. from then on he was a one armed bandid

As men get taller athletic ability tends to diminish. It is very difficult for a man 6'3" to fight small in the same manner that Tyson did. In today's heavyweight division 6'3" is a bad height. Too tall to fight small and too small to fight tall! Right now the divison is wide open for another short slugger like Tyson. These ovesized and overrated giants could be knocked down like bowling pins.
