    Bob wasn't so effective against heavyweights, but the ones he lost to were mostly better than Mac. Still, I think Mac's skill level was enough, when combined with his size and ability to take a heavier punch than Bob, to allow him to prevail by knockout.

    Mac by early ko. Even Jerry Quarry who first beat Mac Foster noted how hard he hit.

    Foster never beat a decent hwt. Mac by KO.

    I think most agree.

    I'd pick MacArthur
