    Prime Bob Foster, 1968-1974, would have a good fight on his hands vs Prime Dwight Muhammad Qwai. Dwight could do well against taller opponents, his title winning stoppage of worn, Matthew Saad Muhammad, who had many an exiting career, but one last comeback, was one too many. Bob would keep Dwight on the outside with the long left jab, countering every miss by Muhammad, Dwight would find it difficult to fight on the inside. Bob stops Dwight by TKO 10.

    Bob's jab was too good, and sooner or later Foster will find Qawi with a left hook.

    I'll give Qawi the benefit of the doubt and say he lasts the distance, but Foster is the worst matchup for him.

    Bob would keep him on the end of that long, piston jab, and Qawi would remain wary of opening up for fear of the hook.

    If Foster catches him right, he could very well stop him, but like I said I'll give Qawi the benefit of the doubt.

    Foster by wide UD.

    I think Foster's great jab and power gives him the edge here as Dwight's aggression gets stifled enough to see Foster win by decision.

    Qwai was a hell of a fighter but like many here Foster had the reach , the size, the speed and the horrific power to keep Qwai very honest .. if he lands Bob could stop anyone but it may be simply a decision as once Qwai tasted any of the power he fights more cautiously ..

    I'll go along with Foster but I'll never count out Braxton against anyone @ 175. He will have a chance against anybody IMO. He wasnt at his best against Spinks and I think that is very influential in these type of fantasy matchups
