well is razor ruddock coming back or not?

Post by Bricks »

lennox lewis mentioned in it in his ringside interview a 3-4 months ago.
Youtube is full of a healthy 219 pound razor ruddock talking about coming back and training. But its been a while and still no fight...........does anyone know was ruddock just looking for cheap publicity or is he really coming back?

ruddock looks suprisingly young and fresh faced considering the wars he had. but if he is gonna come back at 46 he needs to put on about 15-20 pounds of muscle thats for sure.

Ko'd the first time he gets any sort of test mate, looks like he's in decent shape, but he won't have it anymore in the ring

Wow, he sounds better than he did 20 years ago!

Incidentally, I'd not seen the Jaco fight before:

tend to agree pal. it was great to see him looking so healthy and lean and happy faced but no way does his physique have the raw power and muscle he had before. at 46 i doubt he will have the neccesary fire and aggresion needed. seems a craazy thing to say when u consider the kind of chin he had in his prime. but these guys will go down from a few shots at that age when they havent been hit for a while.
the only sad thing was seeing him talk of fighting a no name eastern european gypsy who in his prime he would have polished off in 30 seconds.
i wonder if we will ever see a great athlete like razor or lennox ever emerge in the hw division again.a 230 pound guy who can punch move box and has style......razor had all those things

I see Ruddock is down to fight Gabe Brown on the RJJ v Alexander bill.

He's 47 now and i worry for him getting damaged permanently
