    Doug Jones did fight at 175lbs and even weighed in at 171lbs or something against Harold Johnson.
    Does the fight happening at 175lbs suddenly make a difference, or does Doug Jones still beat him? They are a similar size both of them, and maybe Doug Jones didn’t build a legacy like Foster simply because his priorities were the Heavyweight division, or maybe that paid more, so maybe Doug Jones, in that very weak LHW era, could’ve swept up and have gone down as one of the great LHW’s.

    We might not have the data sample that we would like, but Foster did OK at 175, and he ran into trouble quickly north of that.
