Foster was a late sub when he fought Doug Jones and was still pretty green going against a ranked contender in both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions.

Mina was a ranked light heavyweight and too advanced for Foster at the time. Not really fair to say Foster couldn't beat cruiserweights because of losses to guys that weighed 1 lb over the light heavyweight limit. That's like classing a middleweight as a light heavy because they weighed 161.

Those are the only two negative results that Foster had against guys that weight. He had overwhelmingly more success.

 

I will throw in Tommy Gibbons.

Anybody who outgrew light heavyweight, but was a bit undersized at heavyweight, is probably a good call.

 

Sam Langford.

 

Totally dishonest. I'm sure Terrel could've dried out from 202 to 200. Folley fought under 200 many times. Frazier could've probably made 200 if he tried.

I don't think Foster ever beat anyone good over 175 and he tried plenty of times. This isn't his thread.

 

You're a deluded hack. What I said are FACTS. Don't like it? Don't go on the internet then snowflake. I've had countless run ins with you on here and every time you cry like a little girl because you don't like what happened in history. I've been more than respectful and you continue to completely lie and change the goal posts at every turn. Put me on ignore if you don't like what I have to say.

You specifically set the goal posts as 175.01-200 lbs. Not 198, not 202, not 205. 200. That's what YOU said. Joe Frazier weighed a very fit 209 lbs when he fought Foster and hadn't weighed 200 or less since 1966. 4.5 years before he fought Foster. 9 lbs is a huge amount of weight to ask an already in shape fighter to cut.

I don't care what Folley weighed in the past. It matters what he weighed on fight night when they fought. Not ridiculous hypotheticals. Folley weighed in a whole 212.5 lbs against Foster! Hadn't weighed below 200 in 3 years.

Why would Terrell dry out 2 lbs? Makes absolutely no sense to cut weight when you don't have to. You have no idea whatsoever what weight Terrell even cut to begin with. Your position is based upon what ifs and could have beens rather than what actually was. Yet you still have the audacity to suggest I'M totally dishonest.

 

Lol. Is this ban worthy?

 

You've been on here for 9 whole years and not even half of your posts are peer approved. Probably because you waste so much time not talking about boxing.

 

I was posting before they had likes, chief.

 

Lol there's a poster a few above you that's been posting since 2004 and has a better ratio.

 

You're just a noob who will probably get permabanned, so you should take some Ambiens or something before it's too late.
