This question doesn't really need answering, but just in case ... no, a peak era Hulk Hogan would NOT have done well in a real match against Butterbean (who was a boxer). Butterbean would have demolished Hogan, who would have ended up with even more physical issues to deal with than he already had.
Obviously, Hogan at his peak could have easily manhandled your average guy just from his steroid-enhanced size and strength alone, like he did to Richard Belzer, whom Hogan injured. But that wasn't a fight, and certainly wasn't against a fighter.
