...Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride reportedly has a contract in-hand to challenge WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz. Ruiz has not yet signed and negoiations are on-going. The time frame is November-February, possibly in Dublin.
In many ways this is a freak show title fight but does have some charm. Such are the skills of both fighters, anything could happen in this fight. So, is it good or bad this fight may happen?

Yawn..............Womens bowling is more exciting than this fight will ever be.
a bum gets a shot at fighting a shitty champion, what is this world coming too?
^^This needs to be repeated.
Why should McBride get anything for knocking out an ancient Tyson? The fight was abysmal, which was particularly noticeable when watching the Casamayor/Cotto fights on the same night, side by side.
If McBride should get anything it is a step up in competition. You know, someone who is in the top 20/30. He's coming from 165 up to number one contender? How about Ruiz fights someone, ANYONE who is considered a legit opponent?
This is Danny Williams all over again. Boxing "experts" were picking Williams against VKlit. Go back and read that last sentence again. People are still fooled that the Tyson of last year was a contender and now anyone who "conquers" him gets a title shot.

This will be a TERRIBLE FIGHT!!! :eek:
This should be a good fight the Irish slugger vs the Unidisputed Hugging(boxing) champion of the world John Ruiz
I hope they put this on in Ireland, would be good fun
As a tyson fan i hope mcbride wins and which might urge tyson to come out of retirement and knock his fat ass out , but I seriously doubt tyson will do that tysons hates boxing at the moment and would probably rather walk through broken glass than ever fight in a professional boxing match again .
If you're serious, I'll up it to 30mil. My 30m on Ruiz to win... deal?
Alright 30 million on Kevin.
Whad you predicting for Klitschko vs Peter tonight?
McBride deserves a fight at least against a top 10 contender. If he gets a title shot vs Ruiz. It is entirely deserving. He in many ways dominated Tyson in a stronger fashion than did Williams and to the opposite of Williams who got an immediate title shot at what is considered the REAL Heavyweight Championship. McBride got f***K all. Not ever an offer for a fight from any NAME or top 10 contender heavyweight.
Also McBride matches up extremly well vs Ruiz in my opinion. He has the size and the strength. Which are particularly important factors against Ruiz. He seems a good inside fighter, a good uppercut a good jab. I think McBride takes Ruiz.
this is just showing the powers of mike tyson. u beat him u automatically no matter what your record is get a title shot.CAUSE THERES PPL THAT STILL KNOW IF U BEAT TYSON THATS SOMETHING!!!!!!
I have to agree with you, even when you are a no name and put a win on tyson, it gets you a shot.
That just exactly proves that Tyson , the legacy, will always live on. People will always remember him for what he was.
Even when I see him loose to bums, I always remember that prime Tyson KO's anyone.
That legacy is enough for me to give Tyson the respect he derserves, and the boxing world , I would aussme, feels the same way.

Maybee Kostya should just forget the lesser weights and go straight to the heavys, he has a much better chance of getting a title there! :D

yes but all tyson fans should want mcbride to win. Then tyson could have a clear comeback rematch against mcbride for the wba heavyweight title.
