    I only need a prime Roy Jones Junior, he's more than enough.

    Roy Jones beats him, the Blackburn crouch doesn’t work against men like him.

    I agree, anyone these days with a decent amount of experience would beat most fighters from that era, until around the Jeffries-Johnson era.

    Hagler from the Hearns fight, the way Frazier steamrolled Foster makes me think he would have trouble with Hagler's offensive pace, of course Hagler is a pretty big step down in power from Frazier but a big step up in jab/two handed skill

    Yeah I did, a shot to piece's Kovalev is hardly comparable to a prime Bob Foster. He give Canelo the Dick Tiger treatment,,,,assuming you could get him in the ring with Bob.

    Plant, Munguia, Smith, Kovalev, and Jacobs were all around Foster’s size and could box and bang. Good prep for Foster.

    On the other hand, I’m not sure Foster ever beat anyone as good and dangerous as Canelo.

    But RJJ was a light heavyweight. Would you send him in the ring at 160 vs Foster at 175?

    We'd look like fighters from another world, it wouldn't be even close to fair.

    He's barely more relevant than Canelo's brother.

    Then why did you include that as an option?

    Jorge from Argentina proved his chin is fine but Bivol is also probably 180-190lbs so how would he hold up with a heavyweight?

    Yes. He wins at 160 too.
