    Ortiz by ko , McBride fought a Tyson who was well past it.

    Ortiz by KO, McBride was lucky to run into that washed up version of Tyson.

    Why pick this spot to **** on Ortiz? He looked pretty good against Martin. And Martin would've kicked McBride's ass.

    I did it because Ortiz is 42 and Tyson was 38 when he fought McBride and people said he was washed up, I’m not saying he wasn’t, I’m saying I find it interesting how some people can be completely washed up by 38 and others still look decent at 42

    McBride doesn't even deserve to be in the conversation here. Ortiz is a shell of himself at this point but still good. It's too bad he wasn't mixing it up at the top ten years ago.

    That’s cute you think Ortiz is still in his forties.

    Ancient Ortiz and even Charles Martin are much better than Mcbride. There are different levels to washed up and they don't necessarily correspond to age. Tyson was also still physically capable of beating Mcbride but his heart wasn't in the game anymore.

    I agree, whilst Tyson was fresh he was dominating McBride, but he didn’t have the dedication anymore to training or in the ring, so when he gassed in that fight, he didn’t have the heart (by that point) to push through and he realised in that fight that he had lost his love for the sport
