    If Bob Foster had being lightheavy champ around the same as Holyfield was Cruiser champ,
    Can he move up and stand a chance of winning?
    We know how Bob fared right up at heavy, but what about here against EH?
    15 rounds.

    Great fight!
    I favour Holyfield by late stoppage. I think, that Foster wouldn`t knock Holyfield out.

    I simply dont see how Bob has a shot here. Evander would wear him down and knock him out.

    Exactly. There are a lot reasons why Vander wins and Foster's sole reason for winning, a power demonstrated against lightheavies, mends with two of Vander's best attributes, his heavyweight chin and recuperative powers.

    Thinking along the same lines here Clint. Bob crackin his best shots off of Holyfield s chin but Ev still coming forward like a maniac.
