    Skinny Bob didn't have the fastest of feet either! He was a pacer, a drag the right leg type.

    Anderson was on survival mode that entire bout with Foster afraid to engage. Foster won a lopsided decision. Further both bouts with Fourie were Foster in the latter stages of his career. Certainly not prime Foster.

    Prime Foster beats the best Conn IMO.

    IYO. Fact is boxers gave Foster problems,Tessman went into the 10th, Finnegan into the 14th and Conn was light years better than both!

    It is inaccurate to say Fourie or Anderson gave Foster problems.

    Lasting longer before being koed and losing lopsided decisions does not equate to giving Foster problems. Knockouts are the great equalizer.
