    Literally 0 of those guys his only real fight was arguably Holmes who probably could’ve done it before his morning coffee - He was a clown… those guys Willard, Martin Carnera were real pros whatever this forum may think… his literal only chance is some miracle flash KO in round 1.

    Willard really didn't have much experience. Butterbean might catch him and if they used the same gloves, it would only help Bean.

    Half this forum would tell you, he’d beat prime Wilder, let alone Wilder today.

    Zanon was a slick boxer with a superb left jab if somewhat soft chinned.

    I doubt Bean would have got near him, especially over 4 rounds

    Butterbean was a better boxer than Willard. This needs to be said.
