    How would the best Marshall fare vs the best Bob Foster?

    I'd have to think Foster's natural size and reach advantages would be too much for any version of Marshall to overcome.

    Marshall defeated some good light heavies, including Ezzard Charles. I don't think he's automatically doomed in this matchup.

    The story with that is Charles went into the match with a hip injury. To show credence to that, Charles didn't fight for 9 months after this fight, and went on to beat Marshall twice by KO in 6 and 2 rounds.
