Bob Foster ~ "I Wanted Cassius Clay In 1968"

[Bill Paxtom]

Primo, Primo

Cassius was 'banned' from every State Boxing Commission in the United States
at the time, except for Utah.

The money was there for Cassius $300,000.

But the 'greedy coward' wanted more.

"I can't understand it. Look at the money there 'giving' him. And he's playing
games asking for another $50,000 - which would cut into my purse."

Bob Foster

June 1968

Bob {Age; 30 years, 1 month} was at his physical best.

Despite having a 'rail-thin' body at 6' 3", Bob rarely fought above 180 lbs. But what
power he brought into the Ring.

ON May 24, 1968 - Bob had destroyed Light-Heavyweight Champion - Dick Tiger with
such ease, it was embarrassing.

With a record of 30-4-0 {23 KO's}, Bob was clearly one to be careful with, as with his
long reach and leverage, he could deliver 'one-punch' Knockout power.
