He was a fighter, not a boxer.
Can you imagine if MMA/UFC had been around when he was in his prime? He would have destroyed people.

Nope. Ali would have danced and tired Tyson out before finishing him off.

I remember UFC 1 and thinking that it would never take off. That was 1993 I believe.

So ESPNEWS has the 1987 Hagler vs Leonard fight on right now. I remember watching this. I remember this was Sugar Rays first fight in some years. I remember Hagler got robbed.

Hagler always seemed like the down to Earth professional and Leonard was the showboat artist. Had a lot of endorsements and what not. You never heard much from Hagler until it was fight time. He never did the commercials that Sugar Ray did. He laid low. He was my kind of guy. I never liked Leonard too much.

Then all he has to do is stand there -make a few aggressive moves on you -and wait to be awarded the victory because you ran like a 7th grade girl.Yeah butterbean was well know for only doing 4 round fights.

I’m not talking about beating butterbean in a boxing contest. He was always placed in a small ring for only 4 rounds. He would definitely beat me under those conditions.
I love butterbean by the way and I also respect him as a boxer. You are just trolling and I’m playing around with you a bit.

I like Roy Nelson more.
I wouldn’t even joke about beating Roy Nelson in a fight, he would knock me on my ass and strangle me to death.

I don’t care if people raise someone’s hand as the winner. Butterbean is just not a physical threat to me because he can’t catch me. If he continued to try to catch me he might work himself into a cardiac arrest and then I would let him go gently of natural causes. Might even give the guy a sympathetic ear while he lay dying of heart failure.
Even in a 4 round boxing match in that tiny ridiculous side show ring he fought in, Prime Mike Tyson would decapitate Butterbean, Ali would put on a boxing clinic and same for Joe Frazier.
I like butterbean, but recognize him for what he is.
