    I don’t think Froch would win, but he was probably better than anyone Foster beat (accounting for Tiger’s age and lack of size). Froch also made a career out of beating guys he should’ve lost to.

    Bob Foster was a machine at light heavyweight. I don't think there are many guys in that class who could have beaten him at his pinnacle.

    I think Froch would put up very brave and gutsy fight, reminiscent of Chris Finnegan's challenge - but in the end the result would likely be the same.

    I like Froch as a real tough guy but Foster could decapitate him ..

    I like Froch he was a genuine tough guy, but a fighter from the weight below is not going to fare too well against Bob Foster.
    Bob by mid round stoppage or before.

    Did it really take that long to this conclusion?

    Groves, who in fairness was a big puncher, dropped Carl HARD and rattled him to his boots.

    Bob smokes him!

    Even an old Dick Tiger would beat the Hell outta Froch.

    The guy struggled with Glen Johnson.
