Bob Foster - Where do you rank him...

I was, it had to be that big to be seen and understood i think. Admittedly the header is what got most.

 

Foster # 1. I ask myself two basic questions. Was he the hardest punching lightheavy? I would say yes. Did he have the ability to land with great power? I would say yes.

 

George Chaney
Ray Robinson
Jimmy Wilde
Tommy Hearns
Pepino Cuevas
Alexis Arguello
Stanley Ketchel
Sam Langford
Ike Williams
Sandy Saddler
Lew Jenkins
Max Baer
Carlos Zarate
Ruben Olivares
Bob Fitzsimmons
Joe Choynsky
Joe Louis
Terry Mcgovern
Sonny Liston
George Foreman
Naseem Hamed

Just a sprinkling.

 

the only light heavy I would be confident of picking over foster would be Gene Tunney

 

Helllll yes!!!!!!!!

 

Top 8 million definitely

 

it was a title unification bout on May 1 1972, Foster was stripped by the WBA for refusing to fight no. 1 contender Jimmy Dupree, Rondon kayoed Jimmy to claim the belt, Bob kayoed Vicente Rondon in round 2 to claim back the belt.

 

At par with Billy Conn and Lamotta and little below Tommy Loughran and Burley

 

175 pounders yes how can you say not, Next division no! and there was no cruiser, NOT THAT BOBBY IN HIS PRIME WOULD HAVE BEEN IN IT. he brought my girlfriend and I in his office once to talk boxing a lil, and I asked him how Muhammad Ali was when they toured on a team in the amateur ranks, Bob said, "Everybody beat Ali" LOL , Even my girl laughed at that, he also said Ali would go after bed check and shine a flashlight in the other fighter's face while they were trying to sleep, He Said Ali never ever did that to him lol.
