	Boxing's Biggest Fraud: Butterbean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Butterbean goes on to claim that Holmes is fearful of his wrath and has tried to distance himself from the comment.
		If Butterbean is so confident that he’s the reason people come to boxing matches--if he really does “put people in the seats”--lets see him bank on this box office appeal.
		The fraud that is Butterbean would be hard enough for a fight fan to stomach if he just kept his mouth shut, beat up whatever local stiff they put in the ring against him and cashed his checks.

	Preparing to fight the Butterbean
		Faith was saying "Butterbean" with a kind of precise, mildly percussive delight that I'd never heard associated with the character, one Eric "Butterbean" Esch, a 300-to-400-pound boxing carnival act still subsisting on the oleaginous fringes of an alleged sport.
		Butterbean was supposed to fight former Chicago Bears sideshow William "The Refrigerator" Perry Feb. 2 in Gulfport, Miss., an event that screamed for cancellation and got it when the Fridge showed up for something called "Toughbowl II" last week in Las Vegas weighing a reported 422 pounds.
		Butterbean's forte is eating, and he has managed to enter the ring with a 58-inch waist on occasion.

		Butterbeans are similar to Lima Beans but smaller and slightly more heat-resistant.
		Limas are less heat resistant than Butterbeans, however, the larger, thicker pods are easier to shell and the green beans are appetizing fresh or dried.

	Boxing Insider : News : Interview w/ Butterbean, Eric Esch
		Butterbean: I had a couple other fights, I fought Billy Eaton, I got a draw with him which was a bum deal so we had a rematch and during the rematch, I detached a bicep and still knocked him out.
		Butterbean: It took off pretty quick, my second pro fight was on national TV—it don’t happen like that, normally you get 15, 20 fights and then you get a TV fight unless you’re very fortunate to win a gold medal or something like that.
		Butterbean: I’d fight him again, it would be less than a six round fight—we’ll schedule it for however many he wants but I’m gonna give it everything I’ve got right off the bat.

	Peter McNeeley News: McNeeley-Butterbean Fight Stopped in Controversial Call By Ref
		McNeeley had not been down nor was he cut, and although the Bean had scored with a heavy uppercut and a four-punch flurry as McNeeley fell into the ropes, the round was only a second from being over and his hands were up.
		It was clear McNeeley was having problems with Butterbean's power and uppercut, but problems are an occupational hazard in boxing.
		Although that is what happened, there was no question Butterbean (45-1-1) was getting the better of McNeeley, his nearly 100-pound weight advantage and fitness to fight working to his advantage.

		Butterbean is known as "The "King of the Four-Rounders." With a down-to-earth personality, an easy affinity with his fans, and a take-no-prisoners style in the ring, Butterbean is extremely popular wherever he goes - he packs fans into the arenas and every fight is a wild, free-swinging brawl.

		Like Butterbean, Kevin had no amateur boxing experience, but is a product of Toughman contests - he fought many times on the weekly events in Cincinnati.

		I think Sapp would beat butterbean if it was an MMA match, and if he doesent stand with him.
		That'd be interesting...but I think the consensus seems to be that if it was a boxing match Butterbean would win, under MMA or K1 rules it might be a lot closer.
		Butterbean is a no-skills joke to the Boxing World.
