Bob Foster vs Roy Jones

Probably payback for that "Not tonight, I have a headache" line.

 

Very correct Nemisis. This is the way I see it, if you remember what Tarver did to Roy, then you remember that Foster is totally superior to Tarver, then you realize that Foster would have iced Jones with far more definitive devastation than did Tarver. Foster, who was like a giant praying mantis, would have brutalized Jones the same way I described in a previous post concerning Michael Moorer. He would have pole axed Jones. Period.

Sorry for the double post. It was unintentional, as my computer is being rather quirky today. On the other hand, however, my point is so emphatic that maybe it warrants being posted twice.

 

I agree. Senya will argue but i reckon Qawi is a scary one too.

 

If Jones was KO'd by Tarver.........

 

Foster by mid to late round stoppage ,that freakish power,allied to those long arms mean sooner or later he catches Roy,imo.

 

i do not understand, why r people using Jones fight with Tarver when he was past his best? So should we use Fosters last fight as an example to judge how he would do vs Jones?

 

I think that Roy Jones Jr. can beat him but he'd had to bring his A+ game. Don't look at the Tarver fight for a frame of reference, I think Jones's handspeed and power are more than enough earn Foster's respect. Jones walks away with a SD with 2 judges giving him the nod based on accurate punching and the other scoring for Foster on the basis that he was the busier fighter and the aggressor.

 

Foster was a bit too strong for Jones at 175, of course others have already commented on this. Most of Foster's defeats came when he tried to step up and fight at heavyweight. I often wonder how long he could have maintained a winning streak had he not taken his chances at the higher weight class.
