    Butterbean would have reminded Sonny Liston of the cellmate who used to keep a clean cell for him, doing his laundry, folding his clothes, entertaining him with a Grass Skirt and Roman Sandles, making Geraldine Liston very jealous.

    LOL! Sonny would've also had Mr Bean singing like a bird for him. Couldn't find the Soft Kitty rendition, but this will do.

    Butterbean was an absolute animal and severely underrated as a professional, the king of the 4 rounders, cast iron jaw, ridiculously aggressive, 1 punch KO power, if he was serious he was dangerous for anyone. Liston by destruction in round 1
