    Foster is arguably the GOAT at 175 along with Moore. I'd go with Foster by KO.

    Foster destroys RJJ, RJJ would be a sleep for a long time after eating one of Fosters power shots.

    I dont think Foster has to knockout Roy to win....And to tell you the truth I dont pick that as the method of victory for Bob...I think it will only take a couple of hard blows to completely change the dynamic of the fight and have Roy very reluctant to open up with any kind of meaningful offense.

    Bob with his physical advantages could cut the distance very efficiently with only a shuffle forward or put a hell of a lot space between him and his foe with a well timed lean of his upperbody.

    I really just dont see Roy's leaping hooks and single punches working consistently against Bob and at some point he is going to eat a solid shot that will really shake him up. Self doubt creeps in and a lot of Roy's shots will pull up short as he just doesnt want to take the risk of putting himself in a position to absorb a Bob Foster shot.
    When the fight gets in close, Bob's trademark left hook will cut down Roy's work to almost nothing, as he really just tries to hold and deflect anything that comes his way.

    Bob was a monster...A scary prospect for anyone...Though he has the power to stop Roy, I think its more likely as soon as Roy feels it he is on his bike and the compubox representative has very little to put in Roy's column after that. I think he psychs Roy out in there.
    This is also a bit of a shout to Roy's defensive ability and the fact I dont think his chin in his prime is near as bad as his embarrassing losses later on would indicate.

    Ambitious post...I disagree though. Foster knocks him out, or gets beaten on points.
