    LaMotta fighting another LtHeavyweight......can Foster spark him with 1 shot?

    I agree..no, but jake's can't get thru at LH. Foster would tear him to shreds at some point. A tko stoppage at some point.

    everytime an older fighter is match with a newer generation... even foster. no way he can get knocked out. Foster could knock Jake out cold with his left hook. yes.

    I think Foster would eventually stop Lamotta

    If Tiger had never moved up to light-heavy, I'd be willing to bet that no-one would have thought that he could be poleaxed in the manner he was, an iron chin like that. Foster's ability to crack skulls was something else.

    I know Jake stood up to Satterfield's bombs and the like, but it wasn't just the unearthly power with Bob - he was a tremendously crafty puncher to boot and highly adept at setting bear traps for opponents to unwittingly trigger. He was also the kind of slashing, lacerating hitter who could disfigure and cut up an opponent's face to the point that they'd struggle to see stuff coming their way. Wasn't he the only man to ever cut Ali?
