    Bob Foster is overrated and Archie would beat him and gave him boxing lesson!He would knock him out with counter right!
    Bob Satterfield was better version of Foster and hit just as hard!Moore and Charles knocked him out!
    Moore would beat Foster same way as he beat Satterfield!Foster didn't knock any big and quality HW!Satterfield knocked Cleveland Williams,Baker and beat Valdes on points!He was better than Foster and hit just as hard or harder!Moore knocked him!
    He would beat Foster same way!

    Is there a particular reason that Moore isn't prime and Foster is? I've always thought the prime LHW Moore was between 47-49ish, whereas his best days at HW are in the early 50s. I'd pick that version of Moore to stop Foster. I said this last time it was brought up.
    Anyway, if Moore isn't prime... I can't pick him. You have to be prime to beat a LHW Foster.

    Foster late KO or points.

    Moore started to decline pretty badly by 1954, so he might lose against a prime Bob Foster, but I still have it 50/50, since Foster had a bad habit of being in love with his power, so he could definitely make the mistake of coming at Moore too aggressively in the early rounds and getting himself stopped, since even in 1955 Moore was still good at making guys pay for mistakes. However, if the fight makes it into the later rounds I’d have to pick Foster.

    Moore by KO in a pretty lopsided fight. Foster is outmatched here. Very overrated by the masses. Beat up on taxi drivers and tomato cans mostly.

    Moore by late stoppage. Never saw in Foster what others obviously do. Moore on the other hand had a great resume and the commensurate skills. Can't see a way for Foster to take this.
