    I picture Bean's fall less as a cataclysm than a gentle roll, like tipping over an egg that's been balancing in an upright position.

    I think that Butterbean had, in his career, one fight scheduled for more than four rounds. Johannson is not somebody that I think much of but, if he fought Butterbean, you could schedule that fight for 267 seconds and it wouldn't go the distance. Ingo would splatter that WWE gimmick.

    Bean's style reminds me of Joe Louis.

    I do not think his body does, Joe Louis was physically fit.

    The love and respect being shown here for the TRUE GOAT, now residing in Val Halla, has almost brought this “ice in his veins” Nordic member to tears.

    Lest any confusion, I’m not talking about Butterbean. I don’t know which/what Hall Mr Esch will be received into when his time comes,

    That's what I'm talking about. Just look at him fighting, he's bad. His opponent is stiff as hell in this video and he beat Bean basically by repeating one-two all the time...

    The scary part is if Butterbean should fall on him, breaking all of his bones or suffocating him with his folds of skin.

    Maybe all Butterbean sees in Ingo is a huge two course meal. Imagine an eating contest between Andy Ruiz and Butterbean. Lol.

    I like Butterbean too. Seems like a good guy from everything I've seen. Fought under multiple different sports over many years.

    I think it's a shame he's had to get bashed so much because of people saying nonsensical about him be able to beat world class heavyweights

    If BB had no defence and his chin wasnt much it's a puzzle to me how in over 90 fights he was only stopped twice and one of them was on an injury? I'd have thought a few of those guys might have had enough pop to dent his soft chin?

    It's a very plausible scenario,I don't see Ingo fighting on the front foot here.

    Haha! I cast my line for a “Hall of…Shame” response but no one took the bait.

    Joking of course. The Bean was what he was, no more and no less.

    We all definitely watched him and still talk about him. Perhaps his greatest victory was knocking out Johnny Knoxville.

    Because all of his opponents were brought in with the understanding that they were there to lose? Especially after the Rose fight when his matchmaking guys were fired for bringing in someone that was only presumed, but was not actually, dead.
