Eric (Butterbean) Esch is a colorful heavyweight fighter known as The King of the Four Rounders.

Esch made his mark as a Toughman Champion, winning no less then 5-Toughman Titles. After reportedly compiling a toughman record of 47-5 (36 knockouts), Esch made his professional boxing debut.

Esch ran up an impressive string of wins, mostly by knockout before being stopped in two rounds by club-fighter Mitchell Rose. The Butterbean took the loss with a shrug of his 350 pound shoulders, and went on the road, barnstorming around the United States.

Esch won 51 consecutive matches, with his best win over Peter McNeeley. After losing to a nondescript heavyweight, Esch fought his first 10 rounder; losing a decision to former world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes.

As a sidelight, Butterbean has also competed in mixed matches. He knocked out professional wrestlers Bart Gunn and Marc Mero in Wrestle Mania, "Shoot-fighting matches".

Esch fought in Japan's K-1 kickboxing matches and went 1-5. However, in Mixed Martial Arts, the Butterbean has earned a modest 9-3-1(4 knockouts) log.

This was an incredibly brutal pace. Two of the best.

I actually watched this with my son about a month ago. We were looking at some clips of greatest fighters and somehow went down a butterbean rabbit hole.

You have to remember that Butterbean came from the Tuff Man spectacles. He was this huge badass untrained brawler that was a promoter's dream. He was willing and able to take a serious ass whuppin to get that one shot.
He reminded me a lot of one of the toughest guys I ever knew. Kenny at 14 was this quiet, friendly, rotund (not fat ) redheaded kid that was beating the snot out of some pretty big guys much older than him. He never instigated trouble but his reputation got him challenged pretty frequently.
