    WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT:huh

    Butterbean, Botha, McCall........?:nono

    Those three have no ill effects from boxing. Listen to them talk, watch their reactions in the ring. None show signs of being punch drunk, although all but Barrett are probably too old to be competing at a high level.

    Somehow though I think Holy and Toney will find their way into the big fights!:lol::lol:

    Uh, how?

    He could barely beat guys like McNeely and 50 y/o Holmes in his prime. He's not gonna beat a top 100 much less a top 15.

    His best bet is to fight 4rdrs against undefeated fighters with more than 10 wins. Show us if these hypejobs have a chin and a defense.

    Same goes for Fergusen!:deal

    I think the Bean or Slice could carve up Fury or Boystov right fukking now, but as soon as they fought an Arreola or even a Quezada or Sprott they'd get dealt with.

    I would love to see those hypejobs inside the top 20 exposed, but instead they'll continue fighting unproven pretenders like themselves and C class fighters like Firtha.

    This is exactly what I thought when I saw the thread. It has to happen.

    Butterbean has already knocked this bum out once. That was his only loss.

    He should fight that glass jawed joke Kimbo Slice. I bet even an old Bean knocks that fraud out.

    Butterbean is better at higher weights. He's stronger.

    I don't think there's any heavyweight champion that could handle a 500 lb Butterbean. How could Vitali beat someone twice his size?
