    Foster went 0-6 against capable heavyweights (Ali, Frazier, Folley, Terrell, Doug Jones, and Mena) and one them, Mena, was more of a light heavyweight who fought over the limit.

    I think that the comparison of Bob Foster and Deontay Wilder are astounding. Foster was a tall lanky light heavyweight with a long left jab, and a killer left hook that left many of his challengers in dreamland. Both Wilder and Foster had similarities when it came to body frame too. Wilder was also very rangy and wiry, with power in his mitts.

    Not a comparison that I ever thought to make to be honest.

    Stylistically they are like night and day.
