    Ok irl Butterbean fought 52 year old Larry Holmes. However, how bad would he have been beaten up if Larry was 32, 20 years younger. Could it have been a potential 1st round stoppage?

    How about a PRIME Butterbean and not the 36 year old version Holmes got to play with?!

    Like Ali vs Liston, he would hit Bean with so many punches from so many angles, he'd think he was surrounded ...

    The difference in class would be too much. It'd be the Marvis fight again. Holmes stoppage rounds 1-3

    Marvis was probably a better fighter at the top level than Butterbean

    Butter bean gets stopped likely on cuts and early.

    Love butterbean but he's not winning a single round against a prime Holmes.

    Typical cherry pick by Holmes. He waited until The Bean was nothing more than a ponderous fat guy with knee problems . Sweatpants Era Bean was nothing to play with.

    He wouldn’t even qualify to face a younger Holmes. He would get sparked on his way there.

    Remember too, Holmes was 16 years older at 52.
