Good morning definitively one of the best. I would agree that Ezzard Archie Michael would be placed ahead of him.However any logical observer would recognize his achievements as a great lightheavy. Definitely one of the best in his division. An all time great for sure.

I served as an official with the New Mexico State Athletic Commission alongside of Bob. He was a lot of fun, and beneath that serious exterior was a very playful and kind hearted man! I attended his funeral when we had to say "so long" to my friend.

Thanks Rich for another winner, this one being of one of my all time favorites. It’s brought back so many memories. The Tiger stoppage, with the image of a heretofore indestructible warrior helpless on the canvas remains a shock to this day. I was at the old Springfield Coliseum for Kendall fight, an afternoon Wide World event with Howard Cosell. Foster fought there one other time against Charlie Polite. I lost track of him after retiring. Thanks for filling me in. This was an all time great. A dream match would have been Foster vs Archie Moore. Thanks again Rich. My Saturday morning is off to a great start.

@allinfun829 Micheal Spinks had insufficient amount of power for the light heavyweight division, his knockout ratio was pretty darn good... And Micheal Spinks style would've been why too scientific and modern for Bob Foster, and the awkwardness of Michael Spinks... That awkwardness and Speed would most definitely put the Spinks Jenks on Bob Foster... Micheal Spinks would just be way too advanced tricky quick and awkward for Bob Foster...

@allinfun829 Avon Derrell was his name who flooded Archie Moore a consecutive five or six times if I'm not mistaken... But given the facts that the Old Mongoose hasn't been ko'ed in any of his 100'n something lightweight fights really should give credence on rather or not the the man could stand up to the power of Bob Foster, it's apparently clear that Archie could have... I mean come on, if Archie Moore hasn't been knocked out in any of his light weight bout then you'll have to give Archie the benefit of the doubt of going the distance... Do you know there's actually been other fighters who have went gone the distance with Bob Foster, so why not the Old Mongoose... But Bob Foster is your lightweight all-time favorite, I get it...

He would have dominated Willie Pastrano, Harold Johnson and Jose Torres in his route to face Dick Tiger for the World Light Heavyweight Title and won a belt from him with his iconic KO win. Keep it up Rich.

Imo hardest p4p puncher in history. One shot kayoes of otherwise iron chinned Tiger and Mike Quarry are the stuff of legend. Vicente Rondon went 10 with Earnie Shavers, what Foster did to him inside 2 should have been illegal. Most knockouts in boxing don't actually leave men unconscious, his routinely did.

Bob should have heeded Tommy Loughran's advice. He never had the frame to hold the weight. The Frazier fight shows the greatness of Joe. Bob had height and reach and against a lesser heavyweight he probably wins. But Joe was all pressure and negated Bob's advantages. My trainer used to put me in with a guy half my age and about 5 inches taller than me AND A SOUTHPAW! I would say to Manny "what can I possibly do!" Well to say the least he got the better of me most of the time, but it taught me how to get inside and eliminate his advantages. I hate it when Manny is right! LOL. Great one Rich

It'll be awhile before I get to him but Martin is of interest.

I love Bob Foster!! Absolutely one of the best light heavyweights ever to reign. He had that same build and musculature as Tommy Hearns and was truly “the hit man “ before Hearns. Make no mistake, a wiry guy with a big punch is dangerous and hard to fight. The mention that he was considered as an opponent for Floyd Patterson is very interesting. Too bad it never happened. Not sure which way it would have gone, but watching him against Dick Tiger (and Floyd’s chin) kind of makes me feel like I actually have seen it. I always thought Ali’s win over him was not particularly satisfying. Frazier’s was definitive and the only time I’ve ever seen Foster truly KOd. Foster would have gone broke if I had a Time Machine. Because I’d tell everyone in the light heavyweight division to definitely not fight this guy. It’s kinda funny to me that these old time boxing announcers like Don Dunphy, compared him to Bob Fitzsimmons. Could there be a less relevant fighter? I’m pretty sure Foster spent zero time studying Bob Fitzsimmons. Anyway, I Love Bob Foster!! One the best ever!!!

Боб сухой был, как скелет, натуральный "дистрофик", а бил как битой бейсбольной! " Кожа да кости ", а в обеих рукавицах, по " кирпичу "! Спасибо!

Bob Foster was the first and only man to cut Muhammad Ali across the eye in a boxing match...

Foster had an excellent jab, and with those long arms, even the slippery Ali got tagged a few times...Remember, Ali was on the comeback trail, at age 30....and his super-quick reflexes, and his early ability to pull his head away from punches, was not working so well! Ali did well to not get clobbered by one of Foster's powerful hooks!...Frazier found a way to get that done!

@@curbozerboomer1773 Well Muhammad Ali did get Foster out of there in the 8th round, actually that was the same round that Joe Frazier got Foster out of there in the 8th as well... Now l don't know if you seen my other comment but l gotta ask you being as though you responded to this comment... But who do you think win in a prime fight between the two Bob Foster vs Micheal Spinks, l myself got Michael Spinks by late round stoppage or most definitely a unanimous decision... I rank Michael Spinks the greatest light heavyweight champion, over Bob Foster, Archie Moore, Micheal Moore when he was a lightweight champion, and Bill Conn, Roy Jones Jr. and so on and so forth... But I got to know, who you got as the greatest light heavyweight champion, and who wins Bob Foster vs Micheal Spinks, and I'll leave you to it...
