Bob Foster vs Rex Layne

OK so either Foster dies at ringside, or possibly the day after?

 

No, no I meant Foster would be a 160-168lber my bad!

 

I would favor Layne here, he handled Satterfield and an off Walcott. Wouldnt be that scared of Foster's power.

 

You do realize this is boxing and not a decathlon, right

Like I am quite certain that Anthony Yarde runs faster and jumps higher (as well as being younger bigger and stronger when they met) than Sergey Kovalev, yet?

Athleticism is only a part of boxing, and it isnt even the most important part

 

He tried to go up to heavyweight via an extra serving of his wife's soul food and drinking beer. He only got up too 180 something. With that kind of nutrition I'm surprised he even beat the subpar "heavyweights" littered throughout his record.

 

I agree with your assessment of Layne except for his hitting ability. He had a big right hand.

"Throw out the record book on Layne, he was a rugged brawler with a quick, very heavy right. As he got shopworn and discouraged, more and more, he got outworked and beaten down.

But, when he first raged out of Utah -- full of Pisss and vinegar -- he'd have been a handful for anybody. He could crack with that right." - Joe Rein



"Layne looms as the outstanding prospect west of the Mississippi. He is a hard hitter... Layne has what it takes to be developed
into the next world heavyweight king. He can hit and has an abundance of
courage." - The Ring 1951
