    We disagree big time. Benn wouldn't beat Dick Tiger in my opinion . He certainly wouldn't beat Bob Foster.
    Fosters only prime losses were to very good to great heavyweights.
    While the Lt.heavy's were not as competitive as it would be a few yrs after he retired, he dominated what was put in front of him. As he should've.
    Samething can be said of Monzon's career.
    Now Nigel Benn, who was koed by a couple of average punching but skilled Jr. Middleweights in his prime is going to survive Bob Foster?
    I don't see that at all.
    Bob Foster wasn't Gerald McCellan.
    But it's your opinion, you're certainly welcome to that.

    Probably Greb or Walker

    GGG is small enough to have made 160 on same day weigh in

    Walker is a really great shout.

    I doubt that a lot.

    Greb definitely. Possibly Walker. Definitely Langford.
    A couple of others could have a chance.

    started camp often at 167, which is both close enough to lose permanently or cut + regain in 12 hours. lots of fighters used to lose 5-10lbs, and still do in wrestling, which uses same day weigh ins
