Was Butterbean any worse than some of the contenders today?

    Arreola, Peter, Chagaev.

    I think the Bean could be win a match like Peter, stylistically. Someone like Chambers would run rings around him, but he could beat some of these fatties, right?

    Butterbean is trash...complete and utter trash.

    Barring a hail mary punch he gets harpooned by anyone in the top200 at heavyweight.

    Just because the guys you mentioned got dominated in fights against Klitschkos doesn't mean they're bums.

    In fact, I'd take Arreola and Chagaev to beat anyone from the era Ali fought in except Frazier, Ali and Foreman.

    Arreola is a 6'3 heavyweight with power in both hands, the ability to fight at least 10 rounds at a fast pace and the ability to take shots from the highest percentage finisher HW of all time.

    Yes, it's crazy to think he could have competed in that era isn't it? ****ing idiot.

    Give it a rest man. These heavy bashing threads have jumped the shark.
    If butterbean was a legit fighter, he'd have fought a legit fighter by now.
    Therefore, he's not a contender nor does he have contender status.
    Does the post reach you? Are you understanding the WORDS BEING TYPED?

    eddie chambers has done nothing to warrant the hype he gets on this forum. when wladimir stops him like every other opponent you can guarantee this list

    will have his name on it

    Well there we have it guys. Because Arreola went 10 rounds with Vitali, consequently landing **** all in the process, he would be considered the third greatest Heavyweight if he competed in the '70s. I also forgot, he stands at 6'3.

    :lol: You're a funny guy, man.

    Yes of course..Now I know you are just taking the ****. :lol:

    As heavyweight contenders go historically, they arent particularly good but the only thing Bean was ever a contender for would have been some kind of Burger eating trophy.

    Dont worry about that dude Addie...He once said modern fighters like Ricky Hatton would have knocked out Kid Gavilan in 5 rounds. :rofl

    His boxing knowledge of anything outside of a month ago is laughable.

    He also said Muhammad Ali would be stopped by Vitali Klitschko, despite an overweight, unproven, inexperienced Arreola going the distance with Vitali if it wasn't for his corner men pulling him out.

    Funny stuff.
