    :-(

    You can find plenty of dempsey pics where he looks pretty ripped...others where he looks about how he does in that pic you posted. Doesnt mean one was "edited" likely has to do with different times in dempseys life...and different conditions. But regardless..its not a body building contest (in which case foster still wouldnt ****ing win) but a boxing match. You as someone who admires old george foreman should understand its not a body beautiful contest (but if it was, dempsey would have foster and old george foreman beat).

    Foster didnt too well at HW that doesn't mean he wouldn't do well against some HWs, but wasnt Dempsey a LHW himself against Willard? Both men have been brutally ko'd and both are big punchers. I favour Dempsey here but he had trouble with worse LHWs

    The remark was just a general defense of Foster. He gets a pretty bum wrap of late. I didn't actually address the matchup at all.

    Fosters losses at heavyweight are to noticably bigger men than Dempsey. Realistically this is a matchup of light heavyweight vs cruiserweight so all the talk of Foster losing everytime he stepped up to heavy isn't 100% relevant either. Dempsey's the obvious fave but he's no Frazier or Ali for me.

    The 6'2" 214 pound reigning 23(14)-1-2 European Champion Steffen Tangstad alone puts the heavyweight poleaxing resume of Michael Spinks over that of Bob Foster, and not by a small margin. Just who was the best heavyweight Bob ever defeated, let alone stopped? An oft beat, ring worn and end of the line Besmanoff? A retiring Don Quinn who had just been stopped by fading Tom McNeeley? Because Besmanoff and Quinn are the only two winning career long heavyweights Bob ever defeated who retired with a win column in the black. As I stated, Tangstad alone gives Michael a superior heavyweight resume, and not by a small margin. Cooney alone would also give the Jinx a better record against heavyweights, even the rusty and coked up 1987 Gerry who succumbed in five rounds. (How does the far less mobile and more stilted Bob manage to avoid those hooks to his body long enough to overtake Cooney?)

    Michael unified the LHW Title against Qawi. Ike then went on to post a record of 21(13KO)-9(2KO)-0 against opponents who weighed more than Dempsey did at Toledo. 29 of those 30 opponents had winning records when Qawi took them on. A case can therefore even be made that Qawi surpasses any win Bob had over heavyweight competition.

    As far a direct size comparisons go, Dempsey was bigger than Doug Jones, who decked and dominated his former coach from wire to wire when Bob was older than Dempsey was at Toldeo.

    Dempsey would get knocked out by an unmotivated Bert Cooper.
