Two-time WBA heavyweight champion John “The Quietman” Ruiz (42-7-1, 29 KOs) returns to the ring March 8 against Jameel “Big Time” McCline on the Oleg Maskaev-Samuel Peter card in Cancun, Mexico. “I’m getting ready to clean-up the heavyweight division, starting March 8 with McCline, and then I want the Maskaev-Peter winner,” Ruiz said from his Las Vegas training camp with head trainer Manny Siaca, Sr. “McCline almost beat Peter in his last fight and he’s a lot better than some people give him credit for. He floored Peter three times but we’ll see how tough he is on March 8." In his last fight, Ruiz stopped Otis Tisdale in the second round. Ruiz has beaten three heavyweight champions -- Evander Holyfield, Hasim Rahman and Tony Tucker – as well as top contenders Andrew Golota, Fres Oquendo and Kirk Johnson during his 15-year pro career. McCline (38-8-3, 23 KOs) is a three-time world title challenger.
