As for that cartoon character butterbean,what would make anyone think he would stand any more than a punchers chance with any of the names mentioned.A hard punch needs mobility and speed to land...yes if he connects with a clean shot within the first 2 minutes it will be lights out,but that applies to any heavyweight not just him and nobody of a decent level would allow themself to be caught clean early on like that.
Unfortunately tysons not far behind him,although he ended up a cartoon character also he did at least have some tools early on,just a shame he didnt have the insides for it....holyfield ? now theres a totally different class of athlete.....made tyson quit twice,consistently beat bigger men,what people forget is his best days were as a cruiserweight,he could have held that title for as long as he wanted it.
