Tyson v Rudduck 2 is the fight I have probably watched the most and it was absorbing because anyone was liable to knock one another out.

I haven't watched that fight in years, but I remember Ruddock being very one dimensional in this fight and just basically loading up on his "smash" hybrid over and over with limited success. Tyson had very good technique with his punches and defense (when he trained and focused on it) and I remember Tyson being a full level above Razor and dominating the fight. Am I missing something?

Tyson was awful in the that fight he did not punch in bunches and no real head movement. Tyson was loading up and he did break Razzors jaw and bruised some ribs but overall Tyson was finished as a top fighter at 25.

I saw his destruction of Berbick and it was beautiful.

Tyson even seemed gassed out by the 10th round. I remember some pretty questionable blows Tyson landed. Two times I think to the hip.
Rounds 1-6, great, but after that, it seemed either he was declining or just wasn't a fighter who could do damage in the latter part of a fight they he could in the 1st half.

Yes I think in the 7th he got a pounding and seemed lost of ideas.
