Competitive bout for about 4 to 6 rounds, but at some point Bob Foster catches and knocks out Kovalev.

Kovalev would have his moments outboxing Foster with his jabs and combinations, but Foster would use his longer reach by jabbing, then throwing right hands and left hooks to stop Kovalev in 11 rounds.

Kovalev on fight night would outweigh foster by about 20 pounds.

But

Foster would have a significant reach advantage. I dont think kovalevs chin could handle it. If andre ward puts you on queer street foster puts you on coffin street

outside puncher's chance for kovalev, lesser hitters than him hurt or stopped bob by the same token, but more likely foster by brutal ko after a competitive start to the fight. he could be vulnerable too, but had more stamina and at lhw more chin to get him through rough spots to eventually score a big ending. i can see him coming back from being hurt, not kov doing the same

I could count with one hand how many light heavyweights would have beaten the great Bob Foster.

It's a very short list. Very short. It won't pass after 2. Thinking about 3 guys that could beat him is a stretch.

Foster by knockout. This guy ain't in Foster's quality.
