IMHO, if McBride is given is chance to fight for a belt by beating a guy who is nowhere near the top ten (or even twenty), then I could see why they wouldn't let Tua fight for a belt in a rematch. But of course, they are probably...heck, actually they are...letting him (McBride) take on Ruiz not base on his cred, but his name (similar to Williams against Vitali). Although I give Williams a much more deserving credits more than McBride as he actually earn some in the Euro scene.

Let's all face the fact that McBride is a low class fighter and does not deserve a title shot. No matter who Ruiz fight, he can, could, and will make that fight a candidate for the most boring fight of the year. Just imagine this fight? Ruiz UD in possibly the most boring fight of the decade.

Here here! I liked the "sig" gag as well.

I think McBride can beat Ruiz for a couple reasons. He is stronger Ruiz. He has a good uppercut. He is a good inside fighter. He can outfight Ruiz on the inside. If Ruiz tries to fight McBride from the outside which Ruiz sucks at doing he is going to have trouble with McBride's height advantage. I think McBride can beat Ruiz relatively easily because of these factors. If Ruiz comes in to grapple, he eats uppercuts. If he stays outside he will eat jabs, and McBride has a better chin than Ruiz.

People point to McBride's early losses to discredit him but that was all before he was trained by Petrenelli.

This sounds like all the advantages the golota had over Ruiz. Golota was much quicker and better than mcbride. Ruiz would kill this guy

Well put. Golota had size, strength, power and better technical skill than Ruiz but he still couldn't beat the guy. What can Kevin hope to do?

McBride is about to become victim to a rare boxing occurrence- a Ruiz knockout!

To non boxing fans this will help to put Ruiz on the map... he'll effortlessly KO the man who "retired" Tyson.

Poor old McBride has nothing but the uppercut, which won't win against Ruiz. For such a big guy, he showed no ability to use that as an advantage. Did you see those downward chopping "punches" of McB's? That was bush league stuff. He's nowhere near ready for a top-tier match-up, even it's Ruiz.

Probably a KO for Ruiz, or, if he wanted to he could make it typical decision.

Weird... everyone is now, by default, acknowledging that 2005 Ruiz would kill 2005 Tyson, right? Talk about how the mighty have fallen...

[Kid Achilles]

It is weird to think that even Tyson's fans have to accept that Johnny would maim him now, but those in the know would have picked Ruiz over the Tyson who KO'ed Etienne in one round and had everyone so excited a few years back. Tyson has been damaged goods longer than I have been following boxing, and was never quite as good as he has been built up to be. Not even on his best day.

I would pick both Holyfield and Lewis (when he was focused, on his very best night) to KO a prime Tyson. All of that speed and power is useless when it vaporizes after a few rounds of stiff resistance.

its weird how many people is now disrespecting Tyson. I mean, he was a great fighter back then. But everybody gets old, there is that one time that u just have to quit it. And thats what happened to one of my favorite fighters, Tyson.

[Derranged_]

I think all the current top heavyweights should be pressuring Iron Mike into one last fight. Look what happens:

Danny Williams KO Tyson> gets title shot against V.Klitscho

Kevin Mcbride TKO Tyson> gets title shot against J.Ruiz
