    Because He proved he could take a beating against those guys due to an abnormally strong chin+roids+his style of fighting.
    Unlike foster who looked physically frail against comparitively small HWs.

    I don't understand why you still can't see the difference.
    The problem isn't fosters talent.
    I would give a hypothetical roided up 215lb foster with a smart game plan a really good chance.
    But not frail-KO crazy foster

    At heavy you have to favor James, Bob never looked comfortable fighting guys that large. The Toney that beat Evander stops Bob.

    To take the bodyshots.
    Also a more defensive minded strategy than he actually used, then yeah why not

    Love both fighters but I would have to lean toward Toney. Would be a fun fight.

    Fosters jab wins the fight, Toney can't get inside and use his know how, plus Bobs punches carry snap.
