    Now there's a blast from the past. A forgotten species. Eric Butterbean Ech or something was his name. Many of you recall this enormous man. He could sure move for his size.

    What were some of his greatest hits?

    He's lost a lot of weight I believe.

    I don’t know if I have a favorite Butterbean fight . But he’s got one hell of a good knockout reel . Even if 98% of his opponents were against low level fighters, the man had a nasty punch that could theoretically flatten anyone.

    Fun to watch at the start at least.

    Did score some solid ko wins over Peter McNeeley and Louis Monaco.

    Monaco would go on to ko Kevin McBride before McBride retired Tyson.

    Louis also retired Michael Dokes and knocked out a comebacking Buster Douglas after the bell shot for a disqualification loss.

    He'd have made so much money in today's freak show influencer boxing scene.

    I mean he did quite well in his own time, but if he were about a decade younger and in slightly better shape, he'd be headlining a card with Jake Paul on Netflix now.

    When he was brought in at Wrestlemania to punish Bart Gunn that was a pretty sweet KO although I didn't agree with how it went down.

    I still think the WWE were scumbags for burying Bart Gunn like that just because he wasn't expected to win that "Brawl for All" tournament.

    But as I said still a picture perfect KO.
