Now everytime Foster stepped up and challenged for the heavyweight strap he was knocked out.
What if he had challenged Ellis in 1969 though?
Ellis was closer to his size and Foster would have a considerable height and reach advantage.
Could Foster get that Wba title or would it be another fission mailed?
As for me I lean towards Ellis in this one.

I would favour Ellis also. Though it would be a tight match. I think
Ellis edges the win, though it would be interesting to watch.

Bob has very little success at heavyweight.
Certainly nowhere near enough to convince me he could beat Ellis.

I also think Ellis may be a bit faster than Foster too.
Foster always seemed some what frail mixing it up
with the big men.
