    Total bullshlt...Maske's main scalp was Virgil Hill...all the rest were little fish in a little pond...the kind of little pond that Maske chose to swim around in throughout his career. The height thing is also BS...you make it sound like Maske towered over Foster...he couldn't have been taller than 6'-4", and at light heavy, that would be called "negligible" at best. The only reason Maske was never knocked out was because he never fought Bob Foster. Keep spinning your webs of fantasy...you'll get called on it every time.

    ALL of this is certified, Grade A, amalgamated horseshlt! Foster stops Maske with a left hook before the 7th.

    Maske ,as you know beat Hill at a contracted 190lbs. Hill was the victim of an accidental head butt that had him bleeding and his vision obscured.

    Maske is Top One light heavyweight. Weltmeister.

    I will have to research who this Bob Forester is.

    Virgil Hill, another ancient scalp that was champion in the Ronald Reagan years.

    What matters is Maske has the superior ring IQ (or IQ in general) and Forster was tactical more limited, if not one-dimensional. So he likely fall in whos track.
    An Olympic gold medal is quite more difficult than to win a world title (especially when several per division exist, like now about three dozens), as Olympic Games are only every 4 years and you can't avoid someone, while you have to compete a lot more frequently.
    If Robert Forster get reckless, then might Henry Maske stop him, as he knocked Iran Barkley out too (who had an iron chin and went one year before 12 rounds with Toney).

    One of my favourites was Rudolph (who defeated Oscar and was more offensive than Ottke), but also Mosley, Jones and maybe Küchler.

    I know exactly how tall Maske is, as I pointed several times here, he is 1,90m (at least) and you never asked about copy past here, we both know that Boxrec is not available since one month (without membership), don't lie again!
    I know this (probably better than Boxrec, what is proven to be inaccurate several time, particular in height) and don't have to convince anyone about this. I just shared this information here (for these which are open to extend their knowledge) and I don't care if you believe me.
    But RTL showed many times his height, as there were statistics made before every fight.

    You predent that Rocky was not rated, but he was around top 5, at least in the second fight. He was just behind Maske, Hill, McCullum and arguable Tiozzo; it is even questionable if Michalczewsky was when above him.
    So all you wrote is bull****.
    Prince Charles Williams alone was on the top spot, ahead of Hill and Harding (or Andries). Duran Williams was also a mandatory defence and undefeated. His 10 challengers were better than the first ten of Calzaghe or Hopkins.
