    15 rounds. 1966 rules.

    Joe had a really good heavyweight punch. Bob could do everything... but take a really good heavyweight punch.

    Who ya gonna pick?

    Bob Foster is 6'3" with a 79'' reach. Joe C is 5'11", just about the same size as Mike Quarry...and we know what happened when Mike tried to mixed it up with Foster. But from the fight reports, Joe C must have had an incredible punch for a Lightheavy.

    I go with Foster leading big on the cards, but gets caught in the 12 round by a big punch, and Joe C wins by K.O.

    Foster gets knocked out if he lets Joe land, simple as that yet it would not take many bombs from Bob to go the other way. Joe Choynski had a weakness getting started and if his opponent decides to come out trying to blitz him then Choynski has only one chance... landing a haymaker...... this is highlighted by his disastrous effort against the great Walcott. However if Bob tries to box a few rounds first he will just encourage Choynski into all out assault, an assault Bob will not make it through. A very interesting match up.
