Pick A MW To Beat Bob Foster

Carlos Monzon
Stanley Ketchel
Roy Jones Jr.
Bob Fitzsimmons

 

Burley, he had a great chin, speed and defence enough to possibly box his way to a decision but Foster would still be favourite.

 

How About Micky Walker ?

 

I was just gonna mention him I think he'd have a decent chance. He beat McTigue and drew with Jack Sharkey who were a lot bigger then Fosters so size shouldn't be a huge deal.

 

Greb, only Greb and that's debatable.

 

Well, Foster always hd trouble with busy fighter who had lost of stamina and didn't let him get set to set up his power punches (aka Joe Frazier). Marvin Hagler and Harry Greb would fit that description the best I think, and if I had to choose, I would say Hagler.:good

 

Bob Foster was a freak of nature and this makes it hard for anybody capable of making 160 pounds standing much of a chance against the man.

 

surprised no1 has mentioned Langford yet. I believe he was under the modern mw limit when he bombed out Jim Flynn the 1st time.

 

Thank you,,,

 

#1 Greb
#2 Langford
#3 Fitzsimmons
#4 Mickey Walker
,,,and that's about it.

 

No natural Middleweight would have much of a shot of beating
prime Bob Foster.
Most would run into the same problems Cuevas and Duran had
facing Hearns.
Yes fighters like Hagler , Robinson , Jones Jr. Monzon etc
may be better skill wise, but sometimes the best can
simply get overwhelmed.
Bob Foster was 6'3" with a 79" and hit harder than most
heavyweights in history.
In my opinion only a few natural Lt. heavy's would have
much of a shot against him.
Middleweights and lower?
Chances are slim to none. And slim has left the building.

 

Bernard Hopkins has a chance i think he would pose more problems than most think

 

Was Bernard really a MW? I always thought of him as 175lber on a strict diet and modern weight cuts but I’m probably wrong, I never really watched much Hopkins he was an awful viewing.
