    The McBride that beat Mike Tyson fights the Martin that beat Sonny Liston. Pick a winner.

    Is this a joke? Martin was the number one contender when he was forced to retire.

    McBride was an obscure no name.

    McBride was much bigger and he beat Mike Tyson

    This is a fantasy match that doesn’t bounce around inside my head too often. I need more time to cogitate on it. :D

    McBride wasn't awful, and was about two weight classes above Leotis even taking the fat into account, but Leotis beat guys beyond his single win against an old ex-champion. I don't think McBride did that.

    He beat a shot version of Tyson. Tyson was more washed than Liston was by far.

    He never beat a single rated fighter in his career and has one win over a top 20 opponent (the number 13 Tyson).

    So I'm guessing you favor Martin

    Leotis Martin outclasses him, batters him, and stops him. He was a contender and was fringe world level, whereas McBride was European level if that,
