I think hes one of the greatest fighters and light-H of all time. hes also one of the few light-H i pick to beat roy jones.

how do u rate this guy all time?? how would he do in todays era??? what were his best skills????

he was porbably the best pound for pound finisher of all time. he was so smart and his crab style gave him an excellent defense. he dominated the light-H division for years and didnt seem to ever age. even at 40 he was fighting his best . i noticed his downcline after the marciano fight.
he possesed a powerful punch, he was a big light-H and while he was on top at light-H he beat alot of the top heavyweight contenders like nino valdez something foster couldnt do.

how would moore do against vs

Roy Jones-

bob Foster -

Billy Conn-

Micheal Spinks-

sugar ray robinson- if robinson stepped up to face him??


and if he was light-h champ today, u think he could step up like he did against marciano, but win a world title at heavyweight today over the likes of ruiz, vitali or bryd??????

roy jones- late tko by jones.

bob foster- early ko for moore

billy conn- SD in favor of ___ i dunno depends i think they would split even out of 100 fights i think its a great matchup

spinks- UD moore..doesnt hit spinks enough to ko him

sugar ray- probly another really close but UD for sugar ray

i think you should have thrown in the mix, tommy loughran. great light heavyweight of the 20's/30's
