    Butterbean would win by stoppage. It would be a lot like Joshua-Ruiz 1.

    Unless of course Joshua ran like he did in the second Ruiz fight, then Joshua might survive and get a decision win.

    Butterbean never demonstrated he could beat anyone good. Anyone comparing Ruiz to him DKSAB. "They're both fat, that's good enough for me".

    I wish Butterbean had actually fought someone decent. Would have been interesting. I have nothing against him.

    That reflects very poorly on the levels of knowledge on here.

    Getting on for 50% DKSAB.

    He'd probably have had to accept more than 4 round joke bouts to get anyone decent in there - and what happened the first time bean fought ten rounds? He lost to a 52 year old Holmes.

    For a 52 year old to look amazing in any fight requires an opponent who is either in awful condition, not very good, or both.

    As much as I enjoy Bean, he fits both categories - he only ever had a 4-round gas tank and only ever fought opponents with very limited skill levels for good reason.

    Bean today wouldn't even be a journeyman, and not just because of his lack of stamina.

    Joshua's gas tank may be "suspect" at times but Beans was always a known quantity and not remotely close to the same ballpark.

    Butterbean deserved to win that fight, it was a robbery.
