    Who would've won in their primes in an 8 rd Boxing match for the undisputed novelty act title?

    Butterbean blasts him. It's not even close in terms of skill and power.

    This. Butterbean at least knows what boxing is. Kimbo is woeful.

    How can you use Butterbean and skill in the same sentence?

    They're similar in many ways in that they hit freaking hard, they both gas out after 4 rounds and they've fought a bunch of losers. But the Bean is 77-10-4 and I think that puts him over 7-0. I think that if Esch had been serious about being a boxer at a higher level he'd actually have been fairly successful. He was surprisingly accurate for the lump of lard he was.

    Kimbo was completely unskilled as a boxer. Various guys were paid to take dives for him. No matter how bad Butterbean is he still fought better bums than Kimbo fought. Butterbean by first 1 round massacre.

    I honestly have not ever seen Kimbo Slice fight. He was not a professional fighter was he? I seem to recall just a toughman kind of street fighter maybe.

    He had 7 pro fights against garbage. Kimbo hits like a truck and that's ok when the other guy has no power and is unskilled. Butterbean for the most part also fought barrel scrapings but he was more accurate than Slice and could actually slip a punch. Kimbo is there to be hit. And don't kid yourselves, under all that dough the Bean is a strong dude.

    I met Butterbean once. He was my height and I am 5'10". Yet he fought Holmes and did ok in relative terms.

    Yep. Look, Holmes was as old as F but you'd expect even an ancient Holmes to wipe the floor with a true no-talent scrub. Going the distance with Larry is already something.
