    I reckon it depends on what weight McBride comes in at.

    Seriously though, McBride will get beat the first time he steps up to a top 30 contender - I'm willing to bet 10 million points on it if you're interested McKay.

      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.
      ruiz has been stopped once, mcbride has all 4 of his losses come by knockout to other journeymen and u say he has a better chin than ruiz?

        Golota didn't even land a very hard shot on Ruiz and he went down with a thud. He didn't stay down, but he went down hard. Tyson hit McBride with much harder shots than Ruiz has ever been hit with, with exception of vs. Tua. The only difference is Tyson never caught Kevin flush on the chin.
        I also highly doubt Ruiz is even close to being as strong as Kevin. Im 'm not trying to say that McBride is good or anything, because he's been fighting for awhile and he's probably as good as he's going to get, on top of his terrible conditioning. I don't know if he would beat Ruiz, but I think his size gives him at least a shot.

          Well, Ruiz must still be feeling like crap losing again to a former middleweight. His title may have been given back to him but his self esteem and ego have been shot down....

          If this fight happens, Mcbride might be able to take advantage of that. Mcbride is feeling like a winner right now and everybody in the boxing world still considers him a bum.

          How can john ruiz feel good about himself fighting a bum? A win will not do anything for him.

            I know Ruiz is not the best heavyweight ever, but he can beat big slow heavyweights. He just has a problem with the quicker ones that he cant grab.

                      No he cant beat john ruiz because norman"stoney"stone is in ruizs corner he doesnt not get ready for fights like tyson. It wouldnt be an early ko but maybe a k0 8 or beyond. Mcbride should put his toys r us belt on the line.
