    You keep yelping effeminately but have yet to give a credible reason why a superstar like Bean never got a big fight.

    Why was it ok for Lomo to get a title shot after 1 fight?
    Why did Spinks get a shot at Ali?
    What about Michael Bentt getting a shot at a world title vs Tommy Morrison?

    Did you cry and yelp when those matches were made?

    Why don't you address my actual argument instead of yelping and strawmanning?

      No one has even come close to giving a credible reason as to why Bean never got a shot at a big fight. When far worse fighters I have listed did.
      Perhaps it's just a matter of right connections that Butterbean didn't have? Bribes not paid to the alphabet organizations to rate him as highly as some of the bums you mention?

      As you correctly said in an earlier post, we will never know what happens behind the scenes. The Ali Raymi case that you also mentioned is exemplary; how in the world someone like that guy could be rated, dead or alive?

        Butterbean was a big draw. He was also promoted by Bob Arum.
        So bribes shouldn't be an issue. Arum had that covered in the 90's.

        Darrin Morris and the wbo was even worse than Raymi and the wba. Morris was moving up through the rankings despite being dead lmao 😝

            I remember the Morris case. Tragic and hilarious at once...

            Maybe at that time Arum was afraid that a loss would have spelled the end of his special attraction (Butterbean).

            History showed that it was not to be, anyway... For sure Butterbean wrote his own little piece of history, that's out of question!

              Bean had one loss before he hit his prime. So his 0 wasn't the issue.
              And a fight with Tyson would have made truly insane amounts of money and was an obvious risk worth taking.

              Even if Bean lost, they could say he lost to the "best"

              If Bean was feather fisted there is no doubt in my mind Lennox would have took the fight.

              And seemingly we have Holyfield, Tyson and Louis to blame for this.

              Like how Mayrunner ducked a prime Pacman.

                Carpentier was a legend

                middleweight to heavyweight son

                Bullshltkin thinks that fighting Fat Rolls at 164 is testing himself

                and you are too much of a phaggot to know the difference LMAO





                Mrs Butterbean... you and that Alf Stewart idiot are currently the 2 biggest shltheads on this site

                  He was a victim. KO by small tomato cans. Even a Flyweight Journeyman knocked him out cold.

                  Bart Gunn Knocks him out in truly violent and horrific fashion. And deep down you know it.

                  Carpentier VS Bradshaw is a good matchup. 50/50 fight.

                  And the Godfather would outbox Carpentier to a decision pretty easily. Might even stop him late.

                    you are worthy of each other

                      Why are you in the History section, If all you do is get triggered and start yelping Karen? 😝

                      Remind me how many Flyweights and Bantamweights have knocked Carpentier out cold? 😜
