    - - Johnson could be KOed. So could Foster, but only by heavies and not Johnson who was whooped, what, thrice by Archie?

      Did Johnson punch similarly hard?

        Since everyone else is able to post links I have to assume it may be something simple in your settings. Must be very frustrating to be unable to support your contentions with video. Have you tried various options in settings? I would check your personal computer settings too.

          No. Decent puncher with a great skillet. Foster a murderous puncher with a decent skillset.

            Great as Foster was, I believe he could be KOd by a light heavy, though I don't think he ever was. Foster's chin may be only decent too. I consider chin to be a boxer's #1 asset. Is there any footage of Bob taking really good shots from non-heavies? Against other ATGs Bob may need to get there first.

              I don't doubt Foster could be knocked out by several fighters at 175. Thing is, they'd have to get past that height, reach and power he had. Foster was no slouch in skills. Several fighters were more skilled at 175. But few had the attributes he had......he was a scary man at 175.

                I picked Foster by decision, but it isn’t something I’d be comfortable putting money on and I wouldn’t be shocked if it went the other way.

                  Reminds me of Hearns although Tommy was a far better technician.

                  In the nine years at 147 or 154 ('77-86) that Hearns fought at only Ray was able to do it - and that was from behind in the 14th after the greatest Welterweight fight in history.

                    Yes, hard for LHs to fight Foster successfully from the outside without similar length. Wouldn't he and Braxton be an odd couple in the ring?

                      Yeah, sometimes it was working but following their directions I couldn't get any YouTubes list posted lately at least. I'll probably give it another college try soon.
