I was sorry to hear this at the Canelo vs Cotto fight.
He was very courageous to go up and fight Ali and Frazier.
I remember him being a guest on ESPN FNF once. Seemed to be a stand up guy.
RIP

Re: RIP Bob Foster.
He was very impressive when coming over the pond to fight Finnegan in an excellent bout.The KO of Tiger is one of them stunning images that would be on any highlight reel if you had sum up the sport.

One of my favorites; I love his style. If you are teaching a tall guy to use his height you need to watch him.

Re: RIP Bob Foster.
Reading about him he was one of the greatest ever light heavyweights ever. He had a fearsome punch and had the boxing skills to make him the all round perfect champion.

Re: RIP Bob Foster.
Is there one thread where you do not mention or show a picture of Ali?

Re: RIP Bob Foster.
Tall lean mean punching machine, down to earth guy. Two of the most devastating kos I've seen had to be those of Tiger and poor Mike Quarry who was layed out like someone dropped a building on him. Rest easy champion

Re: RIP Bob Foster.
Prime Foster v prime Jones jr? mmmm I think Roy's chin gets tested?
Apart from one loss to the great South American LH and unlucky Mauro Mina, Foster really only lost to the Heavyweights in Jones, Terrell, Folley, Frazier and Ali. For ten years he dominated the Light heavyweight division. Roy would've had big problems with Bob Foster!

Asked if he was ever scared in the Ring.
Bob said >
"Yes, I was very scared after I hit Mike Quarry. I saw him laying there on the canvas, and he wasn't moving.
I thought that I Fucking killed him."
