Bob Foster-Michael Spinks article.

I disagree.foster wins

 

I can see Spinks beating Foster

 

Spinks probably would beat Foster, but it would be the toughest fight he would ever have had at 175.

 

I agree completely with the article. He was of course quite good, but I've always maintained that Foster was very overrated. Not sure what people gauge this supposed greatness on. KO's of an undersized Tiger and overmatched Rondon and Quarry?

He also didn't know how to use his size properly. Leaned in too much.

 

If only he had Emmanuel Stewart

 

If he did, he'd have just boiled him down to 160 and shortened his career.

 

Decent read....a little biased but many are.

I agree that Spinks would likely win, and did fight superior comp. Bob was dominant during his reign but I think Spinks would our point him comfortably and might even stop Foster. I would love to contemplate Qawi vs Foster as well. At cruiser I would likely go Qawi not sure about at LHW though

 

This would probably be my first choice if I could see any imaginary LHW fight actually happen. I am leaning towards Spinks.

 

I like Foster.

 

The Foster that took out Rondon is very dangerous. (Young Foster's victories over Henry Hank (1&2) & Eddie Cotton at Lightheavy grade weights, were left out of the article)

 

I go with Spinks. He fought in a better era, and was successful in his move up to heavyweight. Spinks is my GOAT at lightheavyweight.
