    I actually thought Holyfield was winning the fight against Bowe on the outside and when he started to mix it on the inside Evander started getting beat. Riddick's uppercuts were devastatingoing.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Kind of makes you wonder what would have happened had Donovan Rudduck fought Holyfield.

    That would have been a devastating fight either way. Tyson took the smash so maybe Evander could. Very intriguing.

    Ruddock was essentially a one punch threat (the "smash" hybrid left hook/uppercut he threw), and usually fired that punch more from mid range than either in close or from the outside. Riddick was a very balanced fighter and I felt that his jab from the outside mixed with his uppercut up close gave Evander the most problems. I see Evander taking Rudfock apart, and maybe not stopping him (he took hellacious shots from Tyson), but winning a dominant decision. Evander loved aggressive fighters and struggled with boxers who had good defense (Lewis, Bowe, Byrd, Larry Donald, Toney...etc.). Tyson, Foreman, Ruddock, Mercer...etc., were made for Evander.

    I think some of it may have to do with style over substance in some recent heavily pushed fighters. We see so many guys now who try to set traps for the big finishers or showy shots. More smoke than fire reading headlines and not doing homework completely on investing early to body. Fighting inside doesn't mean just rushing in and setting up shop to work short punches. Watching a guy set up at range and knock on the door before and combined with inside bursts is a real pleasure to watch. Spence does this well. Young Oscar Valdez off of a hurtful jab transitions to inside work quite well. You have a guy like Wilder with tremendous range and snap on the end but honestly looks clueless and vulnerable when it gets choppy in close. It simply comes down to being well rounded and learning to work more, work hard as a fight evolves. Then you have a Santa Cruz who proved to do the opposite from his reputation for free swinging inside volume and turned top notch boxer last out.
