Ruddock was a more polished fighter than Arreola, but he did have trouble with his weight and he didn't take care of himself and whenever he stepped up he got beat....sound familiar?

As for Wlad being one dimensional...sure, but Wlad is in his prime and athletic enough to cut the ring off and there's no where/way to hide from him in the ring....with Foreman he was slower and if he got in vs a guy that would stick and move he would be in trouble...hell Tommy Morrison outboxed him easily.
Cris Arreola has never knocked any contender out just lower level guys. His power is not in the same range as a natural power puncher like Bruno. If the likes of Travis Walker can put Arreola down, his chin ain't gonna stand upto too many right hands from Bruno.

In the lists Bruno is 10th and Dimitchenko. Dimitchenko gets taken out in the sameway as Anders Eklund did.

Glad you mentioned Tommy Morrison - another contender that the current crop don't have.
