    Butterbean recently called the bullshitter out but who wins in their respective primes?

    From what I have seen to be fair to John I think he beats him quite comfortably on points assuming he survives the first four rounds.

    John Fury is exactly the kind of opponent Esch built his career on. He stops Fury within a round or two

    Are headbutts and eye gouging allowed?

    To go against the grain, just for a thought experiment I go John Fury for his size and to make sure this ain't a white wash, but Butterbean probably koes him. but do yall think john has a better gas tank, he probably should right?

    Bean by highlight reel KO inside 2.
    Say what you want about Bean but the experience difference alone is insurmountable for Fury

    It's definitely a tough fight to call. Bean is 5'10 and absolutely nowhere near a real HW under the fat.
    But he seems like a good puncher and might have better power than John Fury. The Fury family seems very underpowered. Tyson, Hughie and Tommy all seem low powered for their size.
    So it's possible Bean actually wins this one.
    John Fury getting KO'd after trying to intimidate a smaller man (like he tried with Frampton) would be a great moment in memes.
    Hopefully one day somebody destroys him out there when he's looking for trouble and we all get to see it.

    Butterbean KO win in 2 rounds. Big John Fury has a big mouth but he was useless as a fighter. He even soiled himself when challenged by Micky Theo to a straightener.

    Actually watched Mickey the other night on a YouTube channel. He seemed like a decent, honest fella. I worked doors for over 30 years and his stories had the ring of truth about them. Particularly liked the fact he called Lennie McClean, who was his friend, a bully.

    Dominic Negus and Joe Egan were also interviewed by the same guy...DZN I think was the chanel. Big Dom's was kinda sad while being heartfelt and funny
