    Bob Foster pretty much had no success when he tried to fight at HW, especially against the likes of Frazier and Ali. Would he at least have any chance at all if he were to fight a small HW like Byrd who is also a light hitter? Foster has the height and power advantage which might help him but I'm not sure how well he does with a southpaw with slick movement.

    Neighbor, I do not see any success against Chris Byrd either, Ernie Terrell was a light hitter too, he kayoed Bob .

    Which is very weird, since he was way bigger than Frazier. Foster was too skinny, he should have bulked up way more than he did
    .
    Yes, he clearly has a better chance, but it's not a given he'll win. Although smaller, Byrd was very slick.

    If it's at LHW, Byrd gets royally ****ed up.

    If it's at HW, then Foster gets badly beaten up.

    That simple IMO.

    Foster said he could never gain the weight.

    Funny you say that, going a bit off, one of his opponents, Bob Hazelton, he was in the 180s and he was 6'7 and he took steroids to bulk up and ended up at 222lbs and eventually after his career had his legs amputated due to the steroids
