    Is to see if the toughest lightweight could knock out a superheavy having however a poor technique like Bean.

    Consider Duran was named "Hands of stone". For me Duran could have do it, other lightweights dont think.

    He said he knocked a horse out, a horse weighs more than Bean so...

    He knocked a horse without gloves no?

    Duran can't body punch Butterbean and size difference is too much for Duran. I think Butterbean Ko him.

    No way...obviously some underestimate Butterbean. Not saying he was an ATG but he is a massive guy who used to getting hit by massive men.

    He's been knocked out once, to Mitchell Rose.

    His level of competition is nowhere near enough to claim he would have a decent chin.

    For example, Wlad was never hurt at that level, neither was Khan, or Judah, or pretty much any world class fighter thought to have glass whiskers.

    Butterbean? This is a hard fight to figure. Duran is great on the inside and countering but Butterbean is so much bigger. I just cannot envision this fight. It would be a matter of Duran using his jab and countering and defense abd getting it into the later rounds and stopping Butterbean on cuts or swelling late. I just do not know.

    160lb Duran knocks Bean out. Duran was an excellent defensive fighter and would see Beans punches coming a mile away.

    if it was on the street it would be even worse for Duran, size is the overwhelming factor here, he cant hurt Bean

    Great as Duran was I can't see him knocking the Bean out. I could see him giving Eric a heart attack in trying to land a clean punch on him, however.
