Roy Jones jr vs Bob Foster

Of course he can, we'd need to have a fair playing field for all. Maybe that could help Lurch get some agility.

In all seriousness, there's a damn good chance Foster knocks him out and that's that, as I've always maintained.

Only in this forum does "Roy has a chance" get reacted to as though I'm saying Foster doesn't have a prayer.

Foster didn't have a great defense, wasn't a master boxer, and wasn't fast. It's ok to admit that and still pick him. He relied on massive size advantages, having nuclear power, and very good conditioning- and it's quite likely that wouldn't end well for Jones, as that's a tough package to overcome.

It's not that I'm anti-Foster per se, but I think he gets overrated here at 175 based on who he actually beat at the weight so a little devil's advocate needs to get played. Roy's resume is the subject of ridicule, but it's not like Foster has the necessary wins to play that trump card successfully.

The other guy had to resort to "well, everyone who beat Foster would beat Roy worse". Pretty much says it all.

 

Foster hit like a hammer and we know Jones chin is suspect. Bob had the long reach and that all time jab. My pick would be Foster. He disrupts Jones awkward style with his jab and lands a KO blow as Jones presses forward. Foster KO 5.
