Thomas was a better boxer and could win it behind the jab. If Razor didn't land a perfect punch, Thomas would win by dec. The least is more likely.

Thomas by decision after out-boxing and countering Razor behind his sharp left jabs and right hands on the outside.

Ruddock did better against Mike Tyson than Thomas did, although Tyson was arguably in his prime before he lost to Buster Douglas. Thomas lost to Tyson by TKO in the sixth round. Ruddock lost to Tyson by TKO in the seventh round and then by unanimous decision in the rematch.
They have another common opponent in Tommy Morrison. Thomas lost to Morrison after the first round when the fight was stopped while he was in his corner. Ruddock knocked Morrison down in the first round, but Morrison knocked him down in the sixth round. Ruddock got up, but the fight was stopped by the referee after unanswered punches from Morrison.
Ruddock and Thomas are the same height, but Ruddock (82" reach) has a longer reach than Thomas (77"). I know that Thomas was a world champion and Ruddock was not, but I think that Ruddock would win by a close decision, either a split or majority.

Pinklon at his best, strong boxer with strong jab, and could take a decent shot. He wins by UD

In his prime, Thomas' chin was incredible. I took a lot of Tyson best shots to put him down, so I see Pinky taking it on points.
