fuk,thats a tough one ...but ill go with ruddick for a points victory,ruddick had a excellent chin/heart back in the day,he could take huge punishment, but so could holyfeild for that matter,so not to sure,would have been awsome fight ,but i think maybe ruddicks size would get the better of evander...

i think holyfield by points victory i think holyfield may have to box like he did vs bowe in 2nd fight get in and out stick and move because if he fights on inside vs ruddock he could be over powered like he was with bowe

I think Holyfield would have too much for him, but Razor was no push over. Holyfield UD but Evander would have been intimidated by Razor's punching power.

Lol. I think this fight is a joke. Holyfield wouldve whipped his ass! Maybe wouldnt knock him out but would have won a totally lopsided decision. Ruddock was never that good, he was a big, slow, clumsy ox. Sure he was strong. Sure he knocked out Michael Dokes. Who hadnt? Tyson outboxed him twice (yes the first was stopped prematurely but it would have ended the same way)...wtf do you think Holyfield wouldve done to him? Only way Ruddock stands a chance of not being made into a human punching bag is if he fought Evander when he was having heart problems. I dont think this would have been an awesome fight. There was a reason it never happened. Holyfield fights champions and Ruddock was never anything more than a mediocre contender. Tommy Morrison fought an exciting fight with him sure, stood toe to toe and kicked Ruddock's ass at the end. Lennox Lewis ABSOLUTELY FUCKING KILLED him! I dont know what you are thinking comparing him to a prime Holyfield. A better match would be Ruddock against Briggs or Valuev or maybe prime Ruddock against the Holyfield who fought Lewis back in what, '98-'99? Then maybe it would have been competitive.

Holyfield would win a hard fought decision he did such a good job of smothering power punchers in his prime and his workrate was pretty tough to beat as well

Ahh!! you gotta be kidding....
ICE are you just putting up whatever names come to mind now, so you could create threads?

Holyfield would mop the fucken arena with Ruddock....

Tommy Morrison fought an exciting fight with him sure, stood toe to toe and kicked Ruddock's a** at the end. Lennox Lewis ABSOLUTELY F****** KILLED him! I dont know what you are thinking comparing him to a prime Holyfield. A better match would be Ruddock against Briggs or Valuev or maybe prime Ruddock against the Holyfield who fought Lewis back in what, '98-'99? Then maybe it would have been competitive.

hey pal ,i said i wasnt sure,and it would be competitive...holyfield was never a heavy weight ko specalist and he would not ko ruddick in his prime,maybe u should watch some old film of ruddick in his hay day,he could take tremendous amounts of punishment....i think the 2 tyson fights took alot out of ruddick,he wasnt the same after that..

......but i dont know who would win,it would be left up to the judges

I agree with diamond dave but maybe not as strong.
Razor was strong and had a huge left hook but if Tyson beat him twice and Evander beat Tyson twice,It makes it a pretty tough argument to make.
Notice that Ruddock was ANOTHER tough CANADIAN!

u cant use tyson/holyfeild as a comparison as to who would win,i dont even want to get into this,but styles make fights and i know ice will get upset about this but tyson was so past his best when he fought holyfeild,and he will say so was holy,but holy trained hard for 15 weeks,tyson didnt and it showed ,he was out of gas by the 6th rd

Yup he was another tough canadian. and like it or not, canadians ARE very tough (well maybe not FRENCH canadians...lol JK)! In most parts (if not all if am not mistaken) of canada it is illegal to own guns, so the average people there are into martial arts/boxing/etc from an early age. There is a huge amount of fighting talent in canada. Look at what George St. Pierre just did to Matt Hughes. I have a lot of respect for canadian fighters. One of my trainers is canadian and dude is a bad ass for sure. Im not sayin Ruddock didnt have a great chin and could hit hard. I just dont think he is in the same league as the only 4 time heavyweight champion in history.

Rudduck was in many ways like a post prison Tyson or old Bowe...he had power but he got tired and he came in overweight a lot....Holyfield was ALWAYS in great shape and he could take a lot of punishment....more than I think Razor could dish out
