i remember butterbean. He used to be included in PS2 Knockout Kings as a kind of joke. The Norties, that was the last rational generation.
Butter Bean had his own video game for Sega, he's miles ahead of Wilder and he was just a side show attraction in boxing.
Butterbean probably punches harder than Nichols, and is more aggressive, although obviously doesn't have the slick boxing skills of 'Buffet, the Wilder slayer'. I would still pick Butterbean for sure. Wilder has shown he has serious problems with anyone above 350lbs.
Hilariously, I've just found out, apparently Roy Jones jnr was in attandance at the alabama gymnasium where the nichols-wilder fight happened: http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Deontay_Wilder_vs._Dustin_Nichols
Well that doesn't say much about Wilder considering Bean could very well be his best opponent. We know this BC he's at least better than 2017 Stiverne and certainly harder to deal with than Molina who has a fraction of the power of Bean.
