Hear me out: Butterbean was only a 4 round fighter. I get it But look what a Butterbean wannabe-Never will be, Dustin Nichols did to Wilder in 1 round. How do you guys see this going? Would a late 90s Butterbean have a chance versus Wilder? Or would Wilder just stay away from danger and tire out Bean.
This would be a knockout in less than a minute. Wilder's reach and power would add up to a cooked Butterbean.
Oh cmon... I'm more critical of Wilder than most, but even I can't pick Eric here. Wilder's resume is absolutely horrible for the legit contender that many have him down as - but even if you take a more realistic view, heck even an exaggerated "hate" view, this still has levels written all over it... Even if you say Wilder was only ever a gatekeeper with a punchers chance (and even I wouldn't go quite that far) he'd still have too much for Buttterbean - yes, he was fun but he was a sideshow act. It's not entirely unfair to say Wilder was the sideshow act champion, with his long reign of knocking out primarily journeymen, but the two aren't really comparable.
Wilder showed poise in his prime and had explosive speed. Would be surprised if Butterbean could get inside but he'd have great success if he got inside. Wilder 75/25 here.
Why are we being silly here? Wilder would stop Butterbean at whatever point he started really throwing punches with bad intent..................could be 30 seconds, could be 3 rounds. But whenever he begins...................the fight is over.
I remember when that idiot Roid jones was comparing Wlad to Butterbean Ohh how the tables turned though.
