    I love MSM, but he might be too hittable against Bob.

    Muhammad survived some wars and I love him as a fighter, but I feel like Foster hits a bit too hard and if he got Muhammad in trouble. I don't think Muhammad would be able to recover from it like in other fights.

    Foster hits considerably harder than fighters like Conteh, Johnson, Lopez.

    I agree. Foster's power adds up over time given Saad's leaky defense. Would be a close tough fight up until then.

    Saad Muhammad was the tougher man. I envision him beating up Foster to the body and exhausting him, winning the fight in the late rounds. I see him taking Foster's right hand well. He was difficult to K.O. It was almost as if he liked getting hit.

    Indeed. Probably the toughest fight Bob would ever have gone through.

    Bob was very tall and had that big jab that would keep Saad off of him and with his big height and reach advantage, Bob basically slices and dices Saad to pieces until he lands that one killer shot.
