Do any of you guys think think mcbride can pick up a heavyweight title ? . Mcbride is thinking of fighting ruiz do you think he can beat ruiz ? .

[paul750]

i wouldn't give him much chance, he's basically just a journeyman, who has beaten a washed up mike tyson, who he wouldn't have lasted a round with a few years back.

and mcbride is not fleet footed lol

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.

[Truth]

McBride is a one hit wonder, actually a no hit wonder because his performance against Tyson was far from spectacular.

john ruiz is a proven top level fighter, who has beaten the likes of holyfield, rahman, johhson and oquendo, mcbride has not beaten anybody of note, except a shell of mike tyson who was not even as good as he was for the williams fight. and john ruiz is probably stronger than mcbride, that suits he grappling tecnique, ruiz has also got some legit power in his hands, ruiz may be a very boring ''champ'' but he's still in a leauge above mcbride, who has not proven himself againist a current top heavyweight yet.

And Ruiz lost to had a draw with and once beat a shell of Evander Holyfield. McBride is way stronger than Ruiz. McBride has a good uppercut that will give Ruiz serious problems on the inside especially when you consider McBride is stronger.

there is no evidence that mcbride is stronger than ruiz, ruiz was able to grapple well with holyfield who is very strong, i think mcbride might actually make ruiz look good if they fought. mcbride has been a pro for years and was ranked at about 150 before the tyson fight, he's not even as talented as danny williams who was a least a top european level fighter before his tyson fight.

Everyone forgets that Mcbride didn't knock Tyson out with a punch, but with the undefeatable weight of his irish belly.

If you meant Kevin McBum, no he ain't got a chance.
