He was fighting club fighters. Ingo was fighting guys like Henry Cooper, Eddie Machen and Floyd Patterson
All jokes aside Ingo would obliterate the novelty act within 2 rounds probably within one. How many of the guys Butterbean fought were actually trying to win? **** all I’d say. It’s a pity Mitchell Rose missed the memo and forgot to not punch the bum back lol. Butterbean could hit hard against out of shape pub bouncers and unemployed actors but against a real world class fighter? Nah not a lick.
It doesn't make any sense. There is absolutely nothing Butterbean did better than Ingo inside the ring. I think people haven't seen a single Butterbean fight. I saw two recently and he looks laughably bad.
I don't think Butterbean was ever knocked down in over 90 fights. Getting stopped by a bum is downright impossible to overlook or forgive, but again, he wasn't knocked out or even down. His hefty 300 lbs of fat certainly seems to help him absorb blows. I don't see how Ingo could be regarded as having the better chin, who we've seen ger KOd twice. Ingo has less than 1/3 of Butterbean's fights which doesn't help either. Ingo KOing Machen had less to do with raw power and more about excellent timing and strategy. He lulled Machen into a false sense of security, then launched a cruise missile of a right hand when he was off guard. Butterbean definitely seems to have a bit more raw power shot for shot and knows how to get his weight into his blows.
Don't forget that Burtterbean went 10 rounds with Larry Holmes and scored a Knock Down against him. He was definitely championship caliber.
I really hope you're being sarcastic but given your agenda against Patterson and by extension Ingo, I sadly doubt it.
Bean rolled gracefully with the punches, a quality that that often incorrectly gives a fighter the label of having a great chin.
And then Butterbean, at certain stages of his career, was hard to knock down, mainly because, if he tilted his head a certain way, and his trunks got tangled, and he kept his gloves off the floor, the referee sometimes had a hard time determining if he was up or down, as in: "Uh...one...two...uh...wait...are you up or down?"
