Here is a somewhat legit boxer who competed rather disastrously in Pride

Jeremy Williams is 3-0 against pretty low competition

The reality is until money becomes more comparable, the public really wants to see it and a world champion cailber boxer wants to risk his legacy we will never get to see what a top notch boxer can do against top MMA fighters
Yeah but you said it yourself, crap competition. Butterbean is a sideshow in both boxing and MMA. Butterbean has never got anywhere near a legit MMA title just like he never got anywhere near a legit boxing title. He's just circus entertainment, fighting handpicked opponents to entertain the crowd on a Saturday night. I wouldn't class him as either an MMA or boxing star.
