"I'm tired of talking about the new John Ruiz," says the two-time WBA heavyweight champion John "The Quietman" Ruiz (42-7-1, 29 KOs) who fights veteran Jameel "Big Time" McCline this Saturday night on the Oleg Maskaev-Samuel Peter card in Cancun, Mexico. "I can't change people's minds without them seeing me fight. I need more action, less talking about it, and I intend to show them in the ring. I've blocked that talk out for this fight. It's my last hurrah. The heavyweight division is wide open and it needs somebody to step-up and take charge. The statement I want to make Saturday night is I'm that heavyweight." Ruiz who is currently rated #3 by the WBA and #5 by the WBC added "That's why I brought in Manny [Siaca Sr.], trained very hard, and have gotten so mentally focused. I've talked less about it with reporters, but fans there in Mexico will see the new John Ruiz for themselves."
