    Can one of the best lightweights of all time, maybe the best, knock out a super heavyweight like Butterbean?

    I’d bet on Duran easily.

    Size is a bit overrated to an extent. Massive difference once both are elite levels.

    Duran easily outboxes him. Could dance rings around him. Not sure about the KO though. Would probably have to come after Bean was completely spent. Could then see Duran piling it on and getting a stoppage.

    For you, if Butterbean lands a punch on Duran's head, could Duran not get up?

    Hmm body shot? Bean had a very good chin.

    If Butterbean hits right Joshua, for you, goes he down or not cause the chin of a professional HW is too trained?

    If Duran lives to be 100 and is on his death bed dying, splash some water on his face and get him out of bed. Put him in a ring with Fatty Butterbean (during Fatty's prime...what prime?) and put gloves on him. He will beat the living crap out of Fatty Butterbean.

    I was referring to when he was at the top of his career.

    Like with one shot? I seriously doubt it. Butterbean is a 400 pound man that also had a very good chin. Size/mass/force is still relative and Butterbean was a mountain of a man. I think he'd absorb any single shot someone Duran's size would land on him.

    Realistically, Butterbean catches him with something hard at some stage and batters him.

    1) this belongs in classic

    2) Duran would end Bean in a round.
