    How does this one go?
    Foster of 1972 who was ko'd by Ali in 8 rounds. Bob weighed 180 and was giving up 41 lbs to Ali in that fight. Foster did cut Ali in that fight, and Ali said Foster had power.
    Against Qawi of 1986 that lost a split decision to Holyfield. Dwight weighed 189 and 3/4lbs, and gave Holyfield the toughest fight of his life.
    Let's say over 12 rounds. Foster is giving up less than 10 lbs, has big advantages in height and reach. Qawi faced Holyfield, and late in his career George Foreman, and did well lasting 8 rounds against one of the hardest punchers in boxing.
    Can Foster ko Dwight or outbox him like Spinks, or would Qawi Grind him down and stop him?
