I love his tenacity. Not only did he have a cannon, he was a showman. He has to be in the top 10 based on those merits.

Great video as usual butter bean what a legend!

[@DigDugger-hg1xb]

His taunts were great because they were responses to how the opponent was fighting, like if he thought you were being dishonourable he let you know. That was really smart because it eroded their confidence, and all he needed was one moment of confusion. The other thing was when he took punches intentionally, for various reasons, I believe. He had a hell of a neck and jaw. In this video we saw his punch taking technique fail him. He was out of his prime and taking a questionable road into kickboxing. I hope he got well-paid for these fights.

[@gatergates8813]

When he just stands there, arms down, and takes a few to the face and stares at them like it was nothing, it's kinda terrifying

I think this guys prowess in the ring didnt come from his stamina or punches, but his ability to take punches and keep going till the opener was worn out. I mean look at his build, his head sits directly on a massive torso and shoulders, he’s like a brick wall. He put all his points into defence.

[@dwigg7700]

Well that and one punch KO power. Butterbean had absolutely atomic bombs in his hands and you really are born with that or you’re not. He hit like guys like Mark Hunt and Foreman, where if they catch you right you are going to sleep. Doesn’t matter who you are big, small, skilled or not. If they pop you, it’s lights out. Butterbean had that.

You gotta love butter bean. He is a fighter who not always going to win but he always puts on a good show.
