How much of a chance does Bob Foster have in stopping a prime Dwight Qawi

[JAB5239]

Foster beats him much the same way as Spinks did and has an excellent chance of cracking that chin.

Foster was one of the hardest hitting LHW's of all time. Foster had scary crippling power in either hand. He had a overall KO Percentage of 70%. Out of 65 wins he knocked out 56.

At LHW if he hits them cleanly Foster has a good chance to knock out or hurt most ATG Light Heavyweights. I assume you mean this match would take place at LHW. In his pirme, Qawi was tough cookie to crack. As a LHW Qawi was never stopped, and in his LHW stint faced huge punchers in Matthew Saad Muhammad x2 and Michael Spinks.

Foster would have a fairly good chance at knocking Qawi out, but I feel Qawi would have a fairly good chance at hanging in there for the full 15. And lets not forget Ray Anderson who fought for Foster's WBC LHW Title in 71, took Foster the full 15, and his whiskers were very shakey, all in all Anderson was knocked out 11 times in his career, but yet Foster cound't score the KO victory.

Anderson had been knocked out 3 times before the Foster fight, and would go on to get knocked out 8 times after. Pierre Fourie twice also took Foster the distance.

But Foster wasn't all punch, he had a pistol like jab, which he would snap out and could control the fight with. He also placed his shots well, and as a LHW had a sound chin. But it was his scary power that most were afraid of.

Foster at his best, had the power to knock out any light heavyweight in history including Qawi.

Nvm, you meant Michael. But Foster was no Michael Spinks, he couldn't repilicate that boxing performance if his life depended on it.

Its a matter of opinion, of course. But I disagree. Foster was an excellent fighter and probably the hardest puncher ever outside the heavyweight division. Qawi would be eating bombs the whole time.

Ummm, Archie Moore and Michael Moorer were both harder hitting LHWs. Pretty basic concept, they could actually hurt credible men who weighed over 175 lbs. Who a man is KOing matters a lot. Just cuz it looks the most amazing doesn't make it real. Appearances are deceiving.

Bob Foster ko'd much better fighters at 175 than Moorer and did it in more devastating fashion. A reasonable argument could be made for Moore, but the pick is still Foster in my opinion.
