    I wouldn't be shocked if Foster scored a knockdown or even a stoppage, but I would expect Dempsey to maul him.

    Some fighters can move up from lightheavy to heavy effectively. Foster was not one of them.

    Dempsey would knock him out.

    its a testament to how underrated dempsey is on this forum that some people are actually picking him to lose this fight. Foster might stun him, but Foster never knocked out any notable heavyweight

    Dempsey by murder. This would be more of a one sided match up than the Foster-Frazier fight.
