Harold Johnson vs Bob Foster 175lbs primes

[billeau2]

I don't doubt Foster could be knocked out by several fighters at 175. Thing is, they'd have to get past that height, reach and power he had. Foster was no slouch in skills. Several fighters were more skilled at 175. But few had the attributes he had......he was a scary man at 175.

A lot of people look at Foster color tremendously by the Frazier fight. They don't think so much about how good Frazier was lol.

- - Johnson could be KOed. So could Foster, but only by heavies and not Johnson who was whooped, what, thrice by Archie?

Nor did I imply Johnson would knock him out. Johnson wasnt overly strong: but a smart & fast tactician. Ergo, he could 'outwork' him

Very true.

Peak Frazier was a beast but unfortunately Joe left his prime after that incredible performance in TFOTC.

To beat him that night Ali or anyone else would have had to kill him.

Yeah, sometimes it was working but following their directions I couldn't get any YouTubes list posted lately at least. I'll probably give it another college try soon.

You might want to check the settings on your personal computer. Go to settings. On the menu on the left go down to Shared Experiences. Make sure it is turned on. I don't know if that will actually work, it is just something to try. Sometimes features get turned off when there is a power outage. It is not going off that gets you but coming back on with a surge.

Great as Foster was, I believe he could be KOd by a light heavy, though I don't think he ever was. Foster's chin may be only decent too. I consider chin to be a boxer's #1 asset. Is there any footage of Bob taking really good shots from non-heavies? Against other ATGs Bob may need to get there first.

The nearest Foster got to being kod by a Lhvy would have been against182lbs Doug Jones,for which fight Bob was 174lbs.

Foster was a substitute for Zora Folley, who pulled out with a virus. Foster was knocked down for a nine count in the 1st by a right hand. Foster was staggered badly in the 7th and 8th.
As he was staggering in the 8th round, referee Teddy Martin stopped the bout.

Nothing on this ****ing phone works - voicemail, connections etc but I can't get rid of it.

Johnson decision would be the bet I made but if Foster lands clean enough then Johnson is in trouble.

Johnson can be hurt, and stopped and Foster is possibly the hardest puncher ever at that weight.

- - At LH, Foster was invincible, and at his best a LH KO machine. If forced to bet, smart $ goes with Foster who cut up Ali in spite of being above LH.

Yeah I'd probably slightly favor Foster in this. But for some reason he's one of those guys who I vacillate on in my mind greatly. Somedays, I feel like you: a monster at LHW who could take down Spinks, Ez, or Tunney. Other days I think of him as being kind of slower and a big target for a fast fighter to outpoint
