    Who would really win? The durable and hard hitting Butterbean, at his lightest weight of ~310 pounds, when he demolished Peter McNeeley vs the heavyweight Jake Paul who fought Mike Perry and Mike Tyson, at a weight of around 215 pounds?

    Paul does not like pressure and would fold as soon as Butterbean starts landing.

    The Bean looks like a joke but his main attributes are real: he was a big guy who could go hard for a few rounds. The power was real and he was surprisingly accurate for a lardass. Paul isn't some super skilled dude with amazing defence and footwork who would make Butterbean struggle to land.

    Jake Paul specializes in fighting oooollddd men and midgets and guys with one foot in the grave.

    I think Butterbean would mop him up in the first.

    Even if we take butterbean as a joke, he still destroys Jake who isn’t even funny enough to be a joke.

    Butterbean s power makes the difference here.
    Paul would get hurt in this,if the fight was a ten round then Jake doesn't see the end.

    Butterbean would take his head off and I don't see Jake being able to hurt him to keep him off and he sure isn't going to use his non existent lateral movement.

    Paul wins by virtue of making the Bean understand the conditions of the big paycheck include not winning or landing any meaningful punches.

    Butterbean would make the proper business decision to get paid.

    I think Tyson did the same, only it turned out he wouldn’t have been able to last eight 2-minute rounds if Paul had decided to pick it up a bit. (I’m glad they made that a fight that counts on Mike’s record and not an exhibition — if he’s going to take the money and run, he might as well take the historic stain on his record for it.)

    I honestly think if Paul were to make it past the first 4-5 rounds or so (big "if") he has a slim chance of going the distance and even slimmer chance of winning a decision. Bean wasn't known for his late round power, stamina, or the capacity to turn things around when behind. The thing with Paul is that he's durable enough to handle one stray, strong blow, but we have never seen him have to take a barrage from anyone with even average power, combination punching skill, timing, etc.

    This is because Paul goes out of his way to avoid facing any half-decent opponents who aren't old or coming from another sport. I suspect Bean is the exact type of fighter who could expose a cherry picker like Paul who relies on his size and youth: a glacier that never stops coming forward throwing a barrage of heavy shots and simply tanks whatever Paul throws. Paul has decent power, but nothing that would stop Bean dead in his tracks. More importantly, Paul doesn't have the skills to put his shots together and finds the angles to make anything count.

    Gun to my head, even an old Bean is too dangerous for Paul and should win by KO no later than the 6th. Prime Bean wins by KO within 1-2 in a one-sided beat down.

    Bean could probably beat Paul today
