Bob Foster thread

How come Bob never tried to avenge his loss to Mauro Mina?

 

That fight was controversial, it was held in Peru.

 

Foster was 21 and had 11 fights when he lost a dec to Mina.Mina never fought outside South America.

 

Kovalev beats him, IMHO.

Kovalev in his prime was a phenomenal fighter.

 

Doubt it very much

 

Based on?

 

On the fact that Foster is a far superior fighter

 

Foster vs:
Qawi, Bob by UD Qawi can't get past his jab and when he does Bob's power makes him hesitant
Saad, Foster by KO round 7. Saad is too easy to hit
Scott , Foster by TKO round 10, Scott can't beat an A+ lightheavyweight
Mustafa , Foster by UD , Eddie's skills keep him from getting ko'ed, similar to the Spinks Mustafa fight
Johnson, Foster by ko round 3, terrible matchup for pops
Lopez, Foster by TKO round 6 , different level fighters.
Spinks? I'd say this is a true 50/50 fight between two of the top 3 or 4 all time great light heavyweights. Good arguments can be made for both men to be the winner and there's not a wrong choice here as to who takes it. Bob's jab is probably the most damaging in his division's history and his left hook the most crushing punch here also, while Spinks has all the tools and his right hand can also get anyone outta there.

 

I don't see it.

Kov had a great jab himself, could lead with the back hand, big power, great Finisher, very good Cardio, great balance. He's a problem for many.

 

Fair enough that`s your opinion but i completely disagree

 

Good stuff here.

 

Foster would take his head off. WTF did Kova beat?

 

Hopkins. Who did Foster beat?

 

Kova threw everything long ,didn't have a clue about fighting inside,did not take body shots well,had only average defence , and did not display heart when under real pressure.

 

How old was Hopkins?lol
