    Bob wasn't so effective against heavyweights, but the ones he lost to were mostly better than Mac. Still, I think Mac's skill level was enough, when combined with his size and ability to take a heavier punch than Bob, to allow him to prevail by knockout.

    Mac by early ko. Even Jerry Quarry who first beat Mac Foster noted how hard he hit.

    I think most agree.

    I'd pick MacArthur
