I'm seeing 42 on wikipedia. Foster was the real deal and a dude that very easily could have been a heavyweight champ in a different era. We all know about his legendary power but he was a very smart fighter as well.
Just to cause even more confusion, his gravestone in Fairview Memorial Park cemetery in Albuquerque where he is interred, states he was born born on 15 December 1937.
The person asked what year was Foster born not if you think he was the real deal, he could be "heavyweight champion in a different era, or do you think he could punch hard.
Hey thanks new member or alt account. I think I'll say whatever the **** I want to say. After all, none of us are related to Foster and can't answer the question accurately.
