Roy Jones Jr vs Bob Foster 175lbs

[acb]

In honor of Foster being on FNFs tonight.

This would be a hell of a matchup. Foster had height, a great jab and a punch behind it.

I will take Foster SD in a close fight.

[KO Boxing]

I agree...

But then here comes all the "Roy doesn't belong with Foster, Charles and Moore" at light-heavy crew... :roll:

Maybe, maybe not. But damn there hell of a couple of fights.

Roy could hang with anyone. I just think that stylistically this is a bad matchup for him.

Come on dammit, lets talk this fight up. Would be one of the great fights at this weight class in history.

Nope Foster hits to fucking hard for Rjj to stand and take any shots from him.. The real fight would have been Foster Vs Michael Moore two 175 pound monsterus wrecking balls.

I think the better match up for Rjj would be Michael Spinks .

Bob Foster by KO. As the OP wrote, Foster's jab and reach would make it a long night for Jones. And anyone who watches Foster's fights knows how good of a counterpuncher he was. I see Foster winning virtually every round and stopping him in 7 :bbb

Foster by KO

People here under-estimate the deciding factor in this fight.

Roys lighting quick speed and his lighting quick reflexes to avoid the punches.

Roy by decision.

[joe the great]

I would have to favor Foster but who knows. Both were great. Still my pick is Foster.

Foster by crushing KO.

Thanks friend. What a great club, great tradition and great fans.:good

I maintain I would take Roy in this via decision. Time will be kind to Roy.:good

in 20 years time most people will go for Roy in this ATG match up.
He is still fighting and that makes people bias against him.

[seb melmoth]

Foster by KO.

[brooklyn1550]

I think Foster would get to him and stop him in the 10th

The real fight would have been Foster Vs Michael Moore two 175 pound monsterus wrecking balls.

Good call!! That would be worth a ppv. Foster was a total badass, although Moorer is one of the strongest lt. heavies ever. I'd have to take Foster by a nod.

Moore was the 175 pounder fighter that you would hate to see looking at your from across the Ring , the thing how you would deal with his pounding Jab and even heaver cross..IMO Moore was the TRUE Liner Champ at Lt heavy by default ..based on the fact Virgil hill refuse to fight him.

Spinks hit just as hard as Foster did, why would that be any better a matchup for Roy? I think Spinks vs Foster is the real matchup at LHW, and I'd take Spinks.


I have to disagree with you on that 100% True spinks hit hard but Foster fucking CRACKED !!!



Anyone that seen clips of bob foster and clips of Spinks could defiantly tell there was a difference in power in favor of Spinks.

There was almost a touch of death in Foster's punches. Foster was a mean Motherfucker!!! no doubt about it.


28 out of foster 46 kos were Straight KO, 18 where TKO

Spinks only had 5 straight ko out of his 21 KO

Spinks hit just as hard as Foster did, why would that be any better a matchup for Roy? I think Spinks vs Foster is the real matchup at LHW, and I'd take Spinks.

Also lets not forget Moore was 22-0 with 22ko, thats 100% ko ratio before moving to heavyweight .
