    Larry Holmes said after his fight with Butterbean that he was a legitimate fighter.

    Well the Bean did get into decent shape I think he did weigh a light 335 for the fight, he did go 10 rounds, and he did knock Holmes down in the 10th, although it was a punch to the shoulder. So I will give him credit. Plus I love when he got in there with the WWE's Bart Gunn and nearly Decapitated him.

    Moreso diet than training.

    Some of the wrestlers backstage were betting on Gunn. I think Stone Cold bet on Gunn and Mankind went with Bean.
