Razor Ruddock, after the dokes fight he should of got a title shot.
He should of never have fought lewis for an eliminater as his record prior was more impressive than bowe' on lewis' as he'd beat weaver, bonecrusher and dokes. Niether holyfield or bowe wanted him so the Tyson fight happened but even though he lost he gained alot of respect for taking tyson 12 in a war. Tyson went inside so ruddock should been number 1. Ruddock was shot by the time Lewis fought him the tyson fights took there toll. He fought page after tyson and won a lackluster 8 round ko win, then ko'd jackson in 4, got ko'd by lewis, got taken 10 by a overweight wade - journey man and looking over weight himself ut won on points then got ko'd by morrison, then retired for 3 years. He was owed a shot in 1990,1991,1992,1993 but was avoided, dont forget at the time ruddock was very hot. Since it has come out Evander's team team priced themselves out of a fight with ruddock and so did bowe who took a fight with phillip brown instead when ruddocks team tried negotiating. Danm ruddock should of been champ at least once even if it was'nt for long. he deserved that or at least two shots in his career but nothing. i guess some are avoided
