    It looked like Foster rocked Ali on a few occasions. Even while giving away 41 pounds.

    The greatest left jab in light-heavyweight history cutting Ali for the only time in his pro career

    Did Ali get cut in his fight against Larry Holmes? I know he was bleeding from the nose and his face was bruised and swollen.

    Kinda like a Sherman tank bouncing 75 mm shells off a German Tiger Tank. German Tankers: "We heard and felt something bouncing off us......but no worries".

    No Foster was the only one to do it. That must have been a helluva jab. Cant imagine those poor light heavyweights having to deal with it.

    Greater than Tommy Loughran's? No.

    If Foster was able to build himself up to 200+ pounds and still have his skills, he may have been more of a challenge as he'd have the extra weight behind his already huge punch.
