I think the only time I ever seen Wimpy Halstead on tv was when he was a guest on the David Letterman show.
I wonder if his name ever subconsciously gave any of the judges of his fights,lower points on the scorecards?

Butterbean was good at bashing up blokes who'd never had a fight.
I remember when he came unstuck against Rose (a guy who did have a boxing background).
It was straight back to complete novices for Fat Eric.
Wimpy? Was he the guy who used to beg for food in the Popeye strips?

He didn't beg, he asked for a line of credit. "I'll gladly pay you a quarter on Tuesday fir a hamburger today" is about what he'd say.

Mike Tyson vrs Butterbean.
I think that was going to be a pay-per-view event.

Seriously, early on Arum was talking about that freak event as though it may have happened someday.

I bought Holmes/Butterbean. Not my proudest moment.
