Bob Foster ~ "I Put Cassius Clay Out With One-Punch'

[Bill Paxtom]

May 8, 1964 {UPI}

Bob Foster >

It was back in 1959, and were in training together at the the Pan Am Trials. Clay was mouthing off,
and talking trash that he could whip anybody.

He just wouldn't stop. He was really annoying everyone. These guys were just trying to train and get
in shape. He totally disrupted our routine. He did not show one bit of respect for anyone.

Finally, I said > "Hey you. That's enough. Now get in the Ring."

Well, we got it going inside the Ring. Then I nailed him with a big right-hand to the kisser.
I tanked him with one-punch.

I know this thread is bull shit, you know why?

Simple, it was posted by billy paxtam!

You dont even read the post and you know it is BS.

Why do people lie so much?

Like if he died in a fire would any of us care? Likely not, i have gasoline and id like to burn him and his mother until they are crispy and dead.

And im not even an ali fan, imagine what they wanna do to him.

Wasted thread and no one will read and if you do join in, in laying down in the fire.

[Bill Paxtom]

I suggest you read the article. Then you can apologize to me.

[ruthless rocco]

I suggest that you realize that you're considered full of shit and that you should never expect an apology on this site.

Bob Foster had his biggest moment in the sport at the time, a 'KNOCKOUT' over current
Heavyweight Title holder - CASSUIS CLAY.

Looks like Ruthless Rocco will be 'Sucking My Ass' again. He likes it.

Madison, Wisconsin

Looks like being in Madison, Wisconsin in April of 1959 was not a good time to be CASSIUS CLAY.

He got 'tanked' in One-Round by Bobby Foster in a sparring-session.

Then he got his 'ASS' spanked by Amos Johnson in the Finals.

Bobby Foster {Air Force} and Amos Johnson {Marines}. Had many things in common.

1} Members of the United States Military
2} Kicking Cassius Clay's 'Ass' for all to see.

May I salute you men.

Boxing Coach ~ Vaughn Edwards

Yes, I was there.

It went something like this. We were in a training session at the University of Wisconsin {Gym}
on April 27, 1959. It was in the late-afternoon.

There were about 40 guys in the Gym, and all were working out doing their own thing. Everybody
was focused on getting ready for the Boxing Tournament. There were coaches working with their
boxers, and trying to squeeze in their last day of training.

I remember Bobby Foster was there, and he was one of the best boxers in at the Pan Am Trials.
He was only {75 Kg}, but he could punch as hard as any of the Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight
boxers.

Everybody was to their own self, and there was no loud chattering going on.

Suddenly we hear this loud yelling. It sounded like some arrogant Teenage Kid talking trash.
He was in the back hallway yelling out loud >

"I'm the best fighter in the World. Look out Madison, because the Kid from Louisville is about
to shake up this place."

"I'm the best. Yes I said it, I'm the best. Who can beat me. Nobody. I'm bad."

It was really an obnoxious sound.
