Right?! Wtf is with all the fat and food references throughout every fight? Yes he's a big man, yes, he eats food. Is all that necessary? You're making him seem like a joke. He excelled to greatness and knocked out so many opponents despite his weight.
I've always loved Butterbean, he was awesome. Happy to see DDP helped him get on his feet again, these fighters put themselves on the line for our entertainment and they all deserve respect.
Eric Esch is a legend, so entertaining back in the day. No one should ever make fun of him, for a man his size he had good head movement, stamina and very powerful! Like a tank coming towards you. He fought at a good level for a very long time, he was over 300 pounds when he fought!, try sparring in the gym with 130 pounds on your back. I bet you can’t. Butterbean was pure entertainment and pure class. Respect.
@jamesj-cr6wq His body was fueled by the fire in his veins. The phrase " eye of the tiger" isn't just an 80's theme song. It's the hunger for survival. A desire to win. Size has nothing to do with it. It's a gift and shouldn't be mocked.
@@ronkistner2672he didn’t have to think he was tough, because he was tough. Every opponent underestimated him, until they were wondering how the hell they were laying down.
I can’t even imagine what a shot to the ribs from him would feel like. Once I had a semi truck tire (100psi) blow up about 3 feet from me and what felt like a solid ball of air hit me in the gut, knocking me 6 feet back right on my ass with my head spinning. I’m 250lb. That probably isn’t much different than a Butterbean punch.
Butterbean, I love how he goes swinging. He his slugger style so simple yet them hooks, straight jabs and liver blows, man head hunts like crazy, but he built like a fortress.
“Butterbean was only afraid of an empty refrigerator and a treadmill.” That was funny…. I think I’d rather take my chances of jaywalking across the 405 freeway during rush hour than find myself in the ring with Butterbean.
Most of the jokes were on the cheap shot side of things, but if I was butterbean, I'd be proud of that, "grabbing beers off the top shelf" line to describe my overhands lmao
People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car.
Of course this type of cars are not meant for salary earners because salary job is just like modern slavery. You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car
You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car while some people are just investing little coin in the stock market and they're making millions of dollars.
Can't imagine being hit by a 300 lb monster swinging what adds up to kettle balls. He is thick. His head is on a 8X8 post. Very difficult guy to knock out. Your only hope was to get him too tired to lift his ham hocks. Loved watching him.

He was definitely an enigma in the sport. Back when boxing was actually a sport I guess and not that sort of insanity we had the other day that amounted to a multi million dollar nothing bucket. It was always interesting watching butterbean's fights. He might of been a larger guy but he really did use it to his advantage, that extra weight being carried through the shoulders and down the arm delivered some absolute sledge hammers if he got it lined up right and he often did.
No reason to make fun of him. He was a badass and deserves respect.
Yeah, the fat jokes got old. He was a legit fighter.
Life is a mindset, yer size matters not.
Straight up
There's a RUclips video about his life and the like -- more respect when you learn the background.
Great guy .
I remember Butterbean. His fights were always fun to watch.
Bean is a destructive force of nature. Don't let his image fool you. The guy hits like Tyson. His record speaks for itself. Miss seeing his fights.
I heard that he's a bad ass in the ring but a big teddy bear in life. I don't know if it's true or not, i don't know the dude.
Love butterbean. !!!!
I hate how people make fun of him, this man was an absolute machine.
Looks like boxed Freddy Mercury 😆 B.B. is a frickin MOUNTAIN. 👍
The disrespect in this video is wild.
@@Slowrollin592I agree and the fact that the dude talking would never get in the ring with a welterweight much less than Eric

He never boxed a professional Opponent.

DDP seems like a great human being ❤
Absurd narration. The man deserves more respect.
Yes. Awesome footage terrible narration. Either AI or a dope.
The narrator really dished out high-calorie comments, marbling his words with culinary precision.
Yea, that narrator is pretty unimaginative and obnoxious....
Correct, not funny except to 10 year olds. I won't come back here.
The writing of the narrative is so hilariously bad I can't imagine it was anything but a parody of itself.
The man,the myth,the legend....BUTTERBEAN
I like watching Butterbean, he is always moving forward, when he swings and connects, it doesn't look as fast as it is.

so..... LOSE WEIGHT AND GET IN SHAPE.... be a REAL fighter.
@@jamesj-cr6wq He could also take a heavy hit too!....
@@robleary3353his weight distribution to the force of impact definitely helped him out in that aspect.
@jamesj-cr6wq His body was fueled by the fire in his veins. The phrase " eye of the tiger" isn't just an 80's theme song. It's the hunger for survival. A desire to win. Size has nothing to do with it. It's a gift and shouldn't be mocked.
Dude hit like a semi. And could take more punishment than most of his opponents.
Big fan. 😊
Results don't lie .
Butterbean was feared,and feared nobody.
Respect.
The narrator's condescending name calling is not appreciated.
Come on, man, it’s funny.
It was AI
Too disrespectful, and it's stupid narration isn't funny.
I don't usually like boxing, but man I love watching Butterbean fight.
Nothing but respect for this man.
I love watching butter Bean.......he is a real fighter
only prob is ,he is 200# more than the other guy, and thinks he is tuff
Old Ron here don’t think butterbean was tuff… 🤣
@@ronkistner2672he didn’t have to think he was tough, because he was tough. Every opponent underestimated him, until they were wondering how the hell they were laying down.
His punches got aftershocks
I've always loved Butterbean as an icon, I'm glad he's still getting his flowers. Man is a legend.
He was big, but! He had the boxing skills and was an exceptionally fast punching machine!. On ya Butter bean!. Nuff said.
Someone was very proud of the 20 variations of the same fat joke. Writing-masterclass...
You can call him whatever you want, but you better call him Champ. 😅super entertainment.
They called him 'Butterbean' to disguise the fact that he was an absolute bulldozer.
Esch had fists and a head of granite, surprising speed, and devastating power. And he went for the body as readily as the head. Fun to watch.
I can’t even imagine what a shot to the ribs from him would feel like.

That probably isn’t much different than a Butterbean punch.
I’m reminded of a boxer who once called George Foreman a freak of nature when he was champion and boxing in his 40’s.
I met Eric once and what a class act he really was.
Eric, you hit like the kick of a mule, love ya. Great video.
Those mad hooks are hard to stop! 🥊
Its tiering the put downs and stupid jokes of a GREAT athlete ! The Bean gave us strong will , courage , and fantastic entertainment ❗️
Yes exactly my sentiments, Butterbean is one of my favourite boxers😊
I found this much more enjoyable to watch while muted.
Fat jokes get old. Eric is obviously a skilled athlete.
Butterbean was a amazing fighter
That overhand right was just fucking deadly.
Butterbean always has been and always wills be a crowd favorite
Fun to watch. Turn the sound off to avoid the inane commentary.

Loved watching Butter Bean!
Get on Eric....!! Thank you
My God, the man not only took the hit.. he deliver a good hay maker, them swings look hard and the impact satisfying to watch
Butterbean, I love how he goes swinging. He his slugger style so simple yet them hooks, straight jabs and liver blows, man head hunts like crazy, but he built like a fortress.
Amazing! Amazing!! Just AMAZING!!!
Yes, Eric is a boxing Legend! My nickname " Presslufthammer"!🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Excellent Butterbean, ça c'est de la vraie boxe,il leur démoli la gueule littéralement !!!
The comedy was in the narration.... The reality was in the knockouts.
Truly one of the Greats
Butterbean, er ist wirklich ein Krieger im Ring den man mag 😂🎉🎉🎉
I love you butterbean! True hero!
I absolutely love the Mr. wiggles knockout
I’ve never heard of anyone making fun of Butterbean before, dudes a beast.
Can't take anything away from the Bean!✌️
For a big guy, some of those punches were fast as hell.
Excellent video
Thanks ❤👍
“Butterbean was only afraid of an empty refrigerator and a treadmill.” That was funny…. I think I’d rather take my chances of jaywalking across the 405 freeway during rush hour than find myself in the ring with Butterbean.
I know that’s right!!!
Most people laughing couldn't go 2 min . with a heavy bag.
I’ll go ahead and step into that big ass Chinese shredder thank you anyway
I just love Butterbean. He was frightened of nobody...
Butterbean was a great boxer and enterntainer
Great may be a stretch
@@rssphllps He fought a worl champions and did not get KOed!
@@rudyroedling188 He fought a 43 year old ex champ who was never known as a hard hitter even when young. That does not make him elite.
@@rssphllps Are you talking about Larry Holmes?
@@rudyroedling188 What other champ did Butterbean fight?
I enjoyed this video of his best knock outs. Is there another video of his worst knock outs? 😂😂
"Eric's cornerman stimulated his beastly appetite by smearing mayonnaise on his face."😂
That killed me! 😂😂😂😂😂
I lost it when he said that.
Butterbean was always fun to watch. ❤
OMG the commentary CRACKED ME UP.
Most of the jokes were on the cheap shot side of things, but if I was butterbean, I'd be proud of that, "grabbing beers off the top shelf" line to describe my overhands lmao
The narration is funny af and i love butterbean so much i wanted to see him fight tyson
Butterbean will be back, the man's walking already, he's a fighter all the way.
"Only thing Butterbean is afraid of is an empty refrigerator." - Now that was FUNNY!
So many GREAT food metaphors! 😃
King of the 4 rounders!!!
Butterbean is like. I thought you said you wanted to fight??😂😂😂😅😅
I met Butterbean many times, he fought for Art Dore out of Bay City Michigan,, he is a very nice guy,,
I love your commentary. Excellent.
People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car.
Hahahaha😄😄😄😄😄
Of course this type of cars are not meant for salary earners because salary job is just like modern slavery. You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car
While Musicians, governments and other Celebrities invest there money to make good profits, that's why you can see them lavish money 🤑 to stupor
You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car while some people are just investing little coin in the stock market and they're making millions of dollars.
Stock investment has been the most lucrative way to make money and succeed in today's world, no doubt.
Funny commentary. I like it.😅
Bean was the man back then
Loved watching his fights

He was 400 lbs
Real Butter!!! Tyson waz lucky not to meet him
Butterbean is King of knockouts💪
He beat a lot of guys seemingly stronger and certainly more athletic...
Yes, but most had very little or no boxing skills.
Informative vid..TY
Great to play on video games too. Franchise 😉
I love Butterbean!! Great boxer
Bean gets ahold of you its lights out!!😊😊
The true undisputed King Hippo. And I say this as respectfully as possible.
This guy is amazingGO Butterbean
Great to watch!
Great comments about a great fighter😁
I love this video
Love his boxing👍👌
Butterbean should be in boxing hall of fame..
Gotta love dat Butterbean !!! 😊
I love fighters that just tank their way to victory XD
"muscles in boxing do not matter"
As if Eric was a pile of mush. Dude was huge with a good layer of armor.
This was badass.
He is an amazing guy!
He was a badass and proved it time and time again
Respect a lui tres grand combattant, et vu son poids quel endurance .
Great commentary
6:15 Buuerbean is only afraid of an empty refrigerator and a treadmill 😂
Butterbean is a round savage. His comeback story is even better.

I watched him fight a few times..that man could take a punch like no other I have ever seen
You forgot one of his most memorable knockouts.
Butterbean vs Knoxville 😁
BUTTER BEAN !! 👍👍
The man is a legend
He was definitely an enigma in the sport. Back when boxing was actually a sport I guess and not that sort of insanity we had the other day that amounted to a multi million dollar nothing bucket.

I love the way Eric emulsifies those big bright shiny black boys! Hahaha
Black men get your shit right
