Foster was the best lightheavy I've ever seen. But there are about a half dozen other ones I'd give a shot at beating him. People should think twice before assuming that Foster would be outboxed by anyone at 175.

Foster doesn't get much love in these parts unfortunately.....I've had arguments in the past with people who say he doesn't belong in the top-10 at 175, go figure.
That being said, I'd favor Charles, Moore, Tunney, and probably Spinks over him as others have mentioned. That's about it. The only one of the above I could see blowing Foster out of there is Charles. I think he's competitive with the other three even though I'd favor them.
Fitzsimmons was well past-it when he fought at Light-Heavy and picked up the belt simply because it was a new division that hadn't attracted any talent yet.
