Who would you pick over Bob Foster at 175?

I would add that Foster's losses to Jones, Terrell, Foley, etc. were early in his career when he was poorly managed by had to train while holding a day job.

Interesting and I never knew about that. Thanks for pointing that out. It's always cool to learn something new.

I would take Spinks, Roy Jones and Hopkins

Yeah, right. A past-prime Hopkins (everything Hopkins did at 175 was past-prime) is going to beat Foster. Take another toke Junior.

Fighters reinvent themselves. Hopkins got 3 of his 5 best wins at light heavy and Hopkins that was just another version of him. Hopkins with his aggressive inside fighting would be too much for the taller finesse fighter.

You can reinvent yourself like you're Thomas ****ing Edison and you're still going to be past-prime when your reflexes slide. And for the record, old slow 175 B-Hop isn't going to get inside on Foster.

You think that any of those three (Tarver, Pavlik, and ???) could have hung with Bob Foster? I'm damn sure that Jean Pascal couldn't have. Hopkins has no power at 175 to hold someone like Foster off of him.

Ali got two of HIS biggest wins past-prime. And the grossly overrated Pavlik is NOT one of Hopkins' biggest wins :jerk0ff9:
