I'd never thought of that, but that's a pretty good comparison.

Could the fittest 220lb Lionel Butler beat the fattest 265lb Sam Peter?

And if Bert Cooper, Lionel Butler, Oliver McCall, Jeff Merritt, Tony Tubbs, Mike Hunter and Tony Tucker were all in the same room, who would be the 'least' high?

What ended up happening to Lionel the Lardass, anyway?

Sanders/Butler! Discuss!

I just remember Butler being totally useless against Lennox Lewis. He did look sort of dangerous beating Tony Tubbs, but I don't think he ever was really a 12 round fighter. Even less so than Corrie. Corrie would win in 4.

When he was training he went 10 with Oliver McCall, losing a split.

The Butler who showed up to fight Lennox Lewis couldn't name the place where he'd been training. He knew where the local dealers were, though.

The most criminal waste of a great chin and a big punch ever.

Neither one was a 12 round fighter.
