    Both are extraordinary punchers, but didn`t had the best chin at HW. Which one dou you favour?

    I would guess maybe Foster, but not sure. It could go either way.

    Foster had some shocking losses at heavyweight in comparison to how good he was at light heavyweight, some of them were like Usyk doing what he did at crusierweight and moving up and losing to the likes of Robert Helenius, so I would heavily favour Hide to knock Bob Foster out and considering he was faster on his feet and hands, more powerful and it wouldn't surprise me if Hide had the better chin at heavyweight

    Both would knockout each other at the same time, round 1. No, just kidding. Maybe you are right. Foster had also a few wins at heavyweight, but not really significant. Hide seems to fit better to HW.

    Foster is by far the superior fighter. But, at Heavyweight, Hide probably knocks him out

    Could actually be who land s first. But if I had to choose I'd lean towards Hide getting the ko.
