Muhammad Ali vs. Mac Foster

[Bill Paxtom]

Muhammad Ali in his quest for a rematch with World Heavyweight Champion 'Smokin' Joe Frazier.

Muhammad takes on Macarthur 'Mac' Foster.

It was a 'minor concern bout' for the former champion, as Mac Foster was still a mystery. Despite a record of 29-1-0 {29 KO's},
Mac was not a 'one-punch' Knockout Artist. He was more of a plodder with above-average power, but far from a vicious puncher.
