Eric Esch (Butterbean) The Best Fighter You'd Give Him Odds Over?

Get smoked? Have you ever seen either Ed Jones or Mark G fight? They were absolutely HORRIBLE as fighters. They basic fundamentals were lacking...bad balance, no jab, couldn't punch straight if they borrowed Alexis Arguello's arms.

The Bean crushes them both...in the same night...in the same ring...at the same time (and believe me, I'm NOT a big Butterbean fan!)

 

You just described Butterbean to a "T". While both of those men were attrocious to watch, believe me, Esch was no better than they were, or certainly not by any real margin of significance. Kenny Craven may well be the best fighter he ever defeated, and Craven beat him two out of three!!! I remember about 10 years ago, HBO actually had the audacity to place Bean on one of it's undercards, in one of those shitty 4 round matches that he loved so much.. I remember Larry Merchant saying what a shame that his own network was airing what he called, and I quote "a fraud".

 

Gerrie Coetzee would have destroyed Butterbean.
