      Yo when this man runs its like watching a bull elephant charge
      You can literally feel the earth shake
      He can only sprint like 30-40ft roughly and he's fuuuuuuucked!!!
      But to this day I have never seen anyone run like that.........
      I used to wind him up about his size and it inevitably got round to him saying he'd fuck me up and I'd reply you'd have to catch me first ;)
      Saw him run 1 time playing english foot ball
      He was the goalie

      For sure Jess, it wasn't his fault. I don't like when people hold "he mostly fought bad, inexperienced boxers" against him. Truth is - that's what everyone does to progress onto the big fights! We just got to see the early stages of his career, where we normally wouldn't see it. The reason we saw his 'easy' fights early on is because the man was a spectacle.

    When Eric went pro you can see his dedication to the craft in his body. He is a large man, there’s no doubt about that, but you can see he put in all the effort to make a boxer out of his genetics. We’re more used to seeing guys like this in heavyweight mma divisions dragging down and laying on top of guys for 15 minutes at a time, or getting some sloppy one shot knockout more akin to his tough man matches. Butterbean, to me, is an icon of hard work and humbleness. He’s not going to go down in history like the old school greats, but he made a good life for himself and had a lot of fun along the way. If the phrase, “hometown hero” had a picture next to it in the dictionary, I’d have a hard time imagining seeing anyone but butterbean’s face on that paper

      Yeah, watching this footage reminds me of Tyson teaching Ngannou - duck and slip their jab, follow up with overhand right. Very clean technique, he's certainly doing it better than Ngannou. On the other hand, these are the highlights from his entire career! I sure wouldn't want to face him in the ring though.

      @@Ric_Vicious yea, and sometimes they try to clinch with him and realize far too late that even when you hug him tight you are still unable to get inside his crosses and hooks the way they should be able to against a thin opponent. Even if they get a good grip on him the shape and strength of his body gives him power and leverage to shrug them off so they can't just grab and hold and wait for the ref to save them.

    What impresses me, besides the power, is the attitude. He just advances, no fear, totally determined, just relentless.

And then he just pounds. He really wants to do this thing.
