    The only thing legendary about Butterbean is how he make 12 quarter pounders disappear in 3 minutes.

    Why, he knocked out the great Peter McNeeley!!!! They later found McNeely's mouthpiece under the Bean's left tit.

    Honestly that was incredibly stupid for both parties. I’ve seen it before , I think I understand the premise but it was very dangerously dumb

    "The King of the three rounders" Is how he used to be described. An ageing uninterested Holmes gave him a boxing lesson.

    Butterbeans career is an great example of market segmentation, finding ones “niche”. He was thus able to build a career without much effort emphasizing his only strength. Horrible fighter but an excellent market plan!
