how good was Lionel Butler?

[Mimmy]

Beat a few ex world heavyweight champions, seemed durable enough, sure, lost a lot of fights early on but was also compared to Mike Tyson.

He was pretty taletnted but very lazy. If you are 5'11'' and weigh in 261 lbs for the most important fight of your career - it's not good.

Hard to tell how good he could have been when the most memorable tale about him was sleeping in his car outside a crack house before the Lewis fight and selling his fight worn gear after the fight for more crack.

I thought he was pretty solid leading up to that fight.

Tough guy, pretty big hitter, not disciplined enough to make anything of himself really in the long run though. The fact that people remember him enough to make occasional threads like this though is worth noting though I figure.

Bonecrusher Smith (TKO-3, 1994, Bone next start he will LUD-10 v. streaking Axel Schulz thus... he has something left at that point) and Tony TNT his two worls champs conflicts with and takes wins. Tubbs is KO-1 (3:00). Last match LUD-10 v. the un-famous name of Damian Wills who was a impresive 27-2-1 but,,I haven't study his record. Lionel fought RIDDICK BOWE in his second start. And lost SD-10 v OLIVER McCALL during his career, July 1990. Tubbs in August '92.
He really did do significant things all in all considering how steep is the Climb. His record say man is born Bogalusa, La. w/ Residence Venice, Calif. would LOVE to read a Facebook interview with the man in modern. Seem to me he was as great as RON STANDER. If not even bit above.
