    Satterfield fought in the 180-185 lb range.

    Satterfield fought some of the best in the Lt. heavy & Hvy Divisions
    during the early & mid-fifties.

    Foster could fight at 180 lbs., and we know he blew out most of the Ltheavies he fought.

    Who wins this slugfest????

    Satterfield was a lightheavyweight...He got down near middle a few times and most of his better wins were around 175 ..I dont think he was consistently fighting at 180+ to later in his career.

    Dont forget he beat Harold Johnson, OBS, Syl Perkins, and destroyed a heavyweight Cleveland Williams whilst at weighing in at the lightheavyweight limit or there abouts.

    I go with Foster even at 182 because he is clearly more skilled and technically proficient, Bob's often pourous defence would give Foster to many openings...But Satterfield had a heavyweight punch that could knock just about anyone out..His straight out of the blocks aggressive style mixed with this ungodly power could most definitely repeat the result of Frazier-Foster, I just wouldnt bet on it more times then Foster getting to him first.

    This is the kind of fight where literaly anything could happen.

    I would tend to go with Satterfiels because he has a better track record at world level above 175 lbs.
