    At light heavy, of course. Who's is better?

    Do you like Foster's long career there? His quanity of fights, or Spink's quality?

    Its pretty close unless you convince yourself Lopez and Johnson were still at their best, which they were not; especially Lopez.

    What about Foster's longer dominance of the division?

    His destruction of Dick Tiger?

    Spinks would have destroyed Tiger, too.

    I prefer Spinks's quality over Foster's quantity. Thus, I rate Spinks slightly higher at light heavyweight.

    Have to consider Tiger was capable at the weight, and had an ATG chin that Foster cracked.

    Yes fair play to Foster he had murderous power at LH.either left hook or right cross got the job done.
