I'd favor him in all of them.

How would Dick Tiger perform against Bob Foster's last challenger in Jorge Ahumada? Would he counter and outpunch Ahumada for a decision win with his swarming style?

Id favor him against all except Rondon. Rondon was a good fighter. His loss to Foster (which is about the only footage most have seen of him) was A. Not indicative of his true ability, and B. came against a guy who also poleaxed Tiger. Rondon was a good boxer and big. He wouldn't have gone at Tiger. He was smart enough to use his height, reach, and skill to keep Tiger on the outside and box him to a decision or bust him up for a late stoppage.

I agree that Rondon would use his height and reach by out-boxing Tiger behind his jabs to a decision, but busting him up for a late stoppage was not the possibility unless Tiger was aging by that time. Anyways, Rondon would box smart against Tiger.
