Ya usually when the referee steps in and starts waving or counting the fighter gets the hint 😂😂😂 this is the worst group of fight fans I've ever found gathered on a single thread 😂
I think the punch absorbing was his main strength because you couldn't fight him like normal people. He just didn't take damage, so he could just walk right through opposing punches. If a normal person swung their arms like him they would instantly regret it, but he could do it because he didn't care about eating a few punches.
I think that one other thing people don't give him credit for, because of his looks: he's smart. like, VERY smart. he is, in every sense, a very well rounded fighter 😅
Dude Butterbean is by far my favorite boxer. Dude didn't dance for the crowd he gave them a show, I never heard a single person I've talked to yet say they were bored with one of his fights, even when he was doing mma he left nothing in the ring, or the octagon. Butterbean is the man.

Yeah he is awesome. He and I weigh about the same and though I have never fought I learned how to throw a punch using all my weight using a heavy bag. He gives me hope that if I have to defend my wife and I just keep my head up like I was taught that my fat ass can put up a respectable fight.
Eric Scott Esch aka " Butterbean " from Atlanta Georgia was a champion of champions. He was an amazing boxer that wasn't no pushover, he was underestimated by so many fighters till they stepped in the ring with him. than they learned really quickly to respect him. The dude was a tremendous fighter for his size and he had the heart of a lion. He knew how to entertain the crowd he gave his all and deserves to be recognized much more than he what he was, I think he was an awesome fighter. I was blown away at his ability to throw combinations and he would just keep going, the dude knocked out a lot of men in his days, what a monster. I wouldn't want to get hit with one of his power punches and I respect any man who would be crazy enough to step in the ring with him that's for sure. If you want to find butterbean today he's most likely cooking at his favorite BBQ and restaurant in Jasper 1379 Hiram Douglasville Hwy suite 123, Hiram, GA
"amazing boxer" did you hit your head bro? Look dude, butter bean is awesome, we all love and respect what he did!!!! But let's not rewrite history and start saying INSANE shit like "butter bean was an AMAZING boxer" that's fuckin comical dude!!!! He's as much of a boxer as kimbo slice was an MMA fighter!!!! Ya your right, bean was out there using slick footwork, working behind his jab, setting traps and cutting angles and........oh wait no he wasn't, he was just standing square winging ham-hooks at his opponent with one eye closed 😂😂😂😂 "butter bean was an AMAZING boxer" 😂😂😂😂😂 that's an ALL-TIME stupid quote 😂😂😂 thanks for that, started my morning off right
Yeah just to think he started off winning toughman contest somebody was brave enough to facing in tough man and that was shocking to me. You would have to be a big and bad mf'er to not be intimidated
At 6:00 this guy Kevin Tallon, he's either the toughest mother fucker I ever seen or the more stubborn stupid insane. I never miss Butterbean Esch fights.
I remember Johnny Knoxville asked him to go boxing with him in one of those Jackass skits. Johnny got multiple stitches to his head but i won't say he's brave. He's just stupid lol
He was left in crutches and in a wheelchair by years of fighting and his size, but recently lost enough weight to get a hip replacement surgery and now he's out of the wheelchair. He says he just wanted to be healthy enough to spend some time with his grandkids and that he's no longer in pain. Seems genuinely happy. Diamond Dallas Page helped him get in shape.
You can have huge respect to my huge moose farm that I own in Idaho with my fathers and kin wife. We go around and around like a record baby, spinning meat all day 5000*+ rotations. But no one respects the south but that’s because toilet paper is made from moleskin.
@@botulismcasserole9832 Bro, that's like how I use my fists to punch nails into six-inch-thick wooden planks at 3:56 PM every Tuesday. There was this guy by the name of Banana Guy Banana Dude Sir. Johnson Jr. who would come by to use his toilet paper cannon and shatter my windows. He wasn't an actual banana, he just named himself that because he really likes bananas. In fact, he rings me every other month to tell me how much he likes bananas. Anyway, one day, he was trying to do the same thing with his cannon, so I came running out of my house with foot-long chains wrapped around my wrists, blood all over my clothes, and screaming, "RUN, EVERYBODY. THE MONSTER WHO KILLS ANYBODY THAT LIKES BANANAS IS HERE!" Well, that was enough for him. Banana Guy Banana Dude Sir. Johnson Jr. screamed, took out a huge rope from seemingly nowhere, tied it to his toilet paper cannon, and took off down the street. The only thing I was wondering was what the One-Armed Cephalopod Man was doing by chasing after him. I quickly stopped thinking about it. Anyway, I went back inside and spent the rest of the day practicing singing "Pork and Beans" by Weezer while standing on my ceiling. Once it was time for dinner, I used my gravity-defying rocket-boots to jump to the Moon, slice a chunk off, and bring it back down to the Earth. I used the slice of Moon to make an alien delicacy called "Lunar cheese on toast". Since, as we all know, the Moon is made out of cheese. When it came time for bed, I did some backflips on the roof of my house while yelling "Buddy Holly" by Weezer at the top of my lungs. Then I waited for the Blood Rabbit to run through the 13th sector, thereby signifying the end of my day. Once I saw it, I phased through my roof and into my bed. That night, I dreamed of flying bananas. But when I woke up, I felt guilty about what I did to Banana Guy Banana Dude Sir. Johnson Jr. So that morning, I rang him up and told him it was a joke. He forgave me and we both went to the shoe factory to drink banana smoothies. Overall, it was a pretty good time.
I have a friend that is built the same as b b , and he has whipped about every tuff guy at the bar or mud hole or wherever, they highly underestimate my friend and that's their first mistake.
Literally hit to fast for the camera, even rewinding it's only a few frames. Can you imagine a dude that like that a thousand years ago, armed with an axe or something?
Every single Butterbean fight, even after his record was amazing, ya think "I don't know, that opponent looks ripped and more athletic..." yet Butterbean still knocks them out. God bless Eric Esch. One of the greatest of all time. Really good person too. Fun to root for.
Even though I'm British and not American when I first discovered butterbean I was genuinely blown away and ever since I've adored him hes the most underrated character in boxing. I like i do with many of the greatest comeback to watch him. Butterbean never being ko'd his stamina his obvious abilities are a genuine one off.
Butter bean is a legend. His combination of punches, movement, and power cupeled with accuracy is unmatched. Incredible speed for his size and controlled power of each punch. Really fun to watch. He dismantled opponents
I was always a big boxing fan and did some boxing as a kid but wasn’t any good, I was traveling today and stopped in at a flea market and couldn’t believe I met butter bean there, such a nice guy and everyone was trying to talk to him, he was selling autographs and photos so I bought one and got a few pictures with him we talked for awhile but what a pleasure meeting him, he said he has a restaurant in Alabama, I hope the best for him what a great guy
Not particularly, he's mostly an overhand flailer. Quantity over quality - he overwhelmed most opponents with an aggressive hails of blows. He could take a punch, though, which was good as he left himself open constantly.
Butterbean was not your typical boxer. Looking at him you wouldn't think he could have what it takes to go pro. He showed everyone in his fights win lose or draw he always gave it his best
You can just feel the power behind those punches , he really knew how to throw all his weight in a punch, not to mention the confusing amount of speed he possessed. The amount of knockouts he had just says it all
He fought on many undercards for big time fights. It worked well because they were only 4 rounders and it was usually the last fight before the main event. And those in attandance were all in their seats to watch him. Sports is as much about entertainment as it is althletisism. He had enough athlete in him to find his place in the sport and made the absolutely made the most of it.
@@angelperez7229 That's not true..He wasn't glamorous,or fit looking,but make no mistake this fella was no "Journey man"fighter..He was never going to break into the "Top Ten" but he cleaned up below it &put an end to many the aspirations of some future"Young Pretender"...
I met him and George Foreman at a wedding years ago both were really cool both had huge hands when I shook hands with them my fingers were inches from the side of them George is friggim huge
@ 4:35, the commentator was saying that Butterbean should lose 100lb he would be a better boxer, as he is now a side show, yet Butterbean keeps beating everybody to a pulp.
@@thearbyter7953 he absolutely lets everything go in round 1, haymaker after haymaker, his weight combined with the fatigue of throwing those punches would make him dead meat in round 2 onward
Absolutely deadly. Would also love to see a compilation of him taking big punches that would have leveled most fighters.. and just carrying on unfazed. His massive neck strength made him v hard to knock out.
Gotta give some of these opponents props though, Tallon went at it with everything he had and dove back in after eating some brutal ones. Never had much of a chance really, but massive heart and courage to go back to that pummeling multiple times!
He didnt get the credit he deserved because he didnt really deserve it.Oh,the casuals like you said he should have got credit.I respect him for getting in the ring but as a serious boxer? Do i fuck,he was a circus act,a novelty.Still,he made loads of dough,he was a nice bloke but he was fat lol
@@brianmorecombe2726 he took on all challengers in multiple disciplines of fighting, not just boxing, That’s what makes him different. At minimum you have to respect that. Calling him the GOAT, of course not. But he is a legend regardless , people will talk about him forever.
@@jtplumbing6592 British fighters get slagged off for fighting "bums"and fighting "at home".But they are still trained athletes that face credible enough opponents and have to be tested over the standard rounds depending on their experience.Fatty over there got respect for fighting nobodies,thats why he always knocked them out,he did only 4 rounds and looked like a club fighter and didnt have much better skills than that.Dont give me shit that he took on all challengers.If he did he would have been knocked out before he was ever known
@@brianmorecombe2726 yeah he's essentially a lower tier wilder. But i think he has more skill than wilder tbh. If he lost a bit of weight i think he couldve done alright, kind of like andy ruiz
@@jrfw96 I agree.I think he had bad start and he had weight problems as a kid but he had done well. Although him on classic fight videos is a bit laughable when you look at the opponents he fought and the rounds he fought at.
Man that hit 17:36 was impressive and frightening. One of his best knockouts for sure. That last bodyshot actually shifted Lindecker and completely laid him out. Let's not forget Butterbean's opponent here was a large, strong 255lb man. To instantly stop and reverse the momentum he had required absolutely monstrous power!
Went to school with a dude like this. 300lbs 17yr old that was crazy fast with his hands and just liked to fight. Fur him it wasn't personal, he just liked to fight. It was unreal how fast he was. Not fast for his size but fast for the earth!
I love watching Butterbean. Terrific entertainer. Terrific puncher. Terrific personality. One of the all time boxing greats. Seems like he had a lot of skill and courage. In terms of power, he must be on the same level as Foreman, Liston and Shavers.
The only reason Tyson's team wouldn't fight the bean. The risk of losing was too high. I don't know who would win. But the bean can take a punch as well as give one. Larry one more round he would have been ko's. I believe the bean could've taken Tyson's. The man was a wrecking Ball. Most men never made it pass the first.
2:14 Butterbean: Sir, I shall give you enough punches for TWO knockouts - no extra charge Bill Eaton: Ok. 3:23 Butterbean: I shall now punch a man out of the ring. 4:31 Announcer: "He'd be a lot quicker and he could be EFFECTIVE. He might be able to TURN on a punch. Now he's just a sideshow...." As if on cue, Butterbean sends his opponent to Sleepytown one second later.
I remember playing as Butterbean as a child on the Sega Genesis Toughman game. I'm happy to see that even decades later, he's still a popular personality.
At 4:37 the announcer called Butterbean "just a sideshow". He should get in the ring with Bean and then call him a sideshow. You are the man Butterbean.
When Butterbean decides he's coming at you, he's coming at you and there's nothing you can do to stop him. Just relentless. In the fights where they show number of punches thrown per round, Butterbean will usually have like over twice as many punches thrown. Not just that, but a higher percentage of them land, and it's not like he's a small target to hit, and when they do land, he doesn't care, he just keeps coming at you.
Those blind hooking overhands are so mean, especially with how accurate he is. Usually you see a man his size flail his arms like that cause he's going down. 💪🏼
Sure he would never be among the greatest but no doubt he had a certain natural talent, strength and skills that made him a pretty good fighter for his level
What I love about this guy is he doesn't pummel his opponent any more than he has to. He knows when he's won and walks away. Amazing guy.
Ya usually when the referee steps in and starts waving or counting the fighter gets the hint 😂😂😂 this is the worst group of fight fans I've ever found gathered on a single thread 😂
Unlike Ray mercer against Tommy Morrison.
That’s power.
He's conserving energy - he has the metabolism of a hibernating grizzly.
@@kevindavis5966lmao 😂
He's big, muscled, punch absorbing and damn right fast for his body. Butterbean is a legend.
Exactly. Just built different physically, but still a beast.
I think the punch absorbing was his main strength because you couldn't fight him like normal people. He just didn't take damage, so he could just walk right through opposing punches. If a normal person swung their arms like him they would instantly regret it, but he could do it because he didn't care about eating a few punches.

Come on how good was ButterBean, for a big guy he was fast 👌👌
Butterbean is a big part of my childhood always an exciting fight
Went to school with a dude like this. 300lbs 17yr old that was crazy fast with his hands and just liked to fight. Fur him it wasn't personal, he just liked to fight. It was unreal how fast he was. Not fast for his size but fast for the earth!
dang just described me how tall was bro?
@@JaydoseVr only 5’11 not tall tall but pretty decent.
He was my favorite! An all American Badass!! Even Johnny Knoxville was a badass for taking the extreme beating he received from Butterbean!😂
🤟😎🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥❤ Tyson and Butterbean, the best ones
I choked on my drink when the ref got KO'd. 😆
butter bean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my god, what a contender!!
He is a great warrior and a good guy with big heart, utter respect from Hungary! 😎
Man...Beans punches were efficient, accurate and powerful.
You dont say. Genius take
I love watching Butterbean. Terrific entertainer. Terrific puncher. Terrific personality. One of the all time boxing greats. Seems like he had a lot of skill and courage. In terms of power, he must be on the same level as Foreman, Liston and Shavers.
I wish we could've seen a Tyson butterbean fight...
We?
Dude Butterbean amateur boxer...
Tyson professional boxer was impossible the fight...
Lol be serious, Tyson would’ve murdered the bean. There’s levels to this shit, a 52 years old out of shape Holmes embarrassed 35 years old Butterbean.
LMAO
@@ELOctavion yes we fool
The only reason Tyson's team wouldn't fight the bean. The risk of losing was too high. I don't know who would win. But the bean can take a punch as well as give one. Larry one more round he would have been ko's. I believe the bean could've taken Tyson's. The man was a wrecking Ball. Most men never made it pass the first.
2:14 Butterbean: Sir, I shall give you enough punches for TWO knockouts - no extra charge
Bill Eaton: Ok.
3:23 Butterbean: I shall now punch a man out of the ring.
4:31 Announcer: "He'd be a lot quicker and he could be EFFECTIVE. He might be able to TURN on a punch. Now he's just a sideshow...." As if on cue, Butterbean sends his opponent to Sleepytown one second later.
haha nice comment sir
Yes a sideshow that flattens professional boxers.
Dude the things this guy did were absolutely incredible. He deserves the title knockout artist
I was a boxer when I was younger and I would not want to fight butterbean, his punches are too fast and hard...
Love me some Butterbean. Thankyou Eric for all you done. You da man
Can you imagine Butterbean in a pub brawl, he would win everyone would be out cold.
I'd of loved to have seen Butterbean trained down and fighting the best in the world. He's an absolute monster...
Everybody looked cocky as hell. Big boy come out strokin! Go Butterbean!☺
Butter Bean is 1 dangerous man. My hat off to you sir.
If anything,Butterbean has taught us one thing: Never underestimate your opponent!
@Someone Junior His neck looked fat, fat doesn't protect your chin. Tyson had an intimidating neck.
@Someone Junior I never said otherwise.
I remember playing as Butterbean as a child on the Sega Genesis Toughman game. I'm happy to see that even decades later, he's still a popular personality.
Замечательно 👍
That knock out 😂😂 was hilarious 😂😂😂😂, love n respect to butter bean
He was a big bloke, but! He had the ring skills and one of the fastest pair of hands I've seen in a fighter!.
I don’t care what anybody says, Butterbean is up there with the greats.
What a beast!
and he's a nice person too.👍🏼👍🏼
Butterbean for his size had a lot of speed.
Looks to fast because he always face it people training boxing for fun...
I never saw Eric in his early days... Really amazed at what a great boxer he was.
Butterbean is the 4 rounds specialist boxer.
💪🏼
i am from germany but i like butterbean and his boxing style...great.👍👍when he goes into his opponent ... omg... thats it.
The best butterbean
The guy's a force of nature.
It’s hard to believe Luis Monaco knocked out Kevin McBride at the almost peak of his career. McBride that is! ( Tyson’s last professional opponent)😆
At 4:37 the announcer called Butterbean "just a sideshow". He should get in the ring with Bean and then call him a sideshow. You are the man Butterbean.
What the hell was he? No one his girth can throw a left hook that velocity and speed I can understand the right hand. Thank you Butterbean.
a semi with a vette engine juiced up is what the hell he was hehe
Jajaja the Butterbean☀️🇺🇲 is a legend in MMA, jajaja jajaja congratulations from krangi Singapore☀️🇸🇬
When Butterbean decides he's coming at you, he's coming at you and there's nothing you can do to stop him. Just relentless. In the fights where they show number of punches thrown per round, Butterbean will usually have like over twice as many punches thrown. Not just that, but a higher percentage of them land, and it's not like he's a small target to hit, and when they do land, he doesn't care, he just keeps coming at you.
I find it so satisfying when the commentator says butterbean lol “good body work from butterbean” is a great sentence
He was in great shape
Those blind hooking overhands are so mean, especially with how accurate he is. Usually you see a man his size flail his arms like that cause he's going down. 💪🏼
Getting hit by those hooks must feel like you've been ran over by a truck. Holy crap.
Kkkkkkk
So much nostalgia. I will never forget as a kid, the ring was always sponsored by Budweiser!
Sure he would never be among the greatest but no doubt he had a certain natural talent, strength and skills that made him a pretty good fighter for his level
Those body shots are brutal.
Eric é o cara dos nocaut💪
