One of the greatest Light-Heavyweights in boxing history! Bob Foster was a tall, lanky devastating hitter who was simply too powerful for the fighters in his 175 lbs reign. His knockout win over Mike Quarry is one of the best left hooks I've ever seen. www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
HANZA - YOU DID IT AGAIN with Classic Music to go with MY FAVORITE 175 POUNDER (Light Heavyweight) EVER - BOB FOSTER!🥊🥊🥊. His POWER was JOHN BLAZE!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Imagine being a natual light-heavywheight and still daring to go up and face true heavywheight killers like Ali and Joe Fraizer. Foster was a true badass and one of the great punchers in boxing history.
@@brocksimmons345 Can't compare Wilder with Langford. Wilder fought only 2 former champs and maybe 1 hall of famer. Langford at 17 beat a Hall of Famer Joe Gans then 1 year later he drew against another hof the Barbados demon. He fought 70+ hall of fame fights !!!
The light heavyweight division was pretty dead back then to be honest. The heavyweight division back then was probably the best era for the heavyweights, alot of fighters in that weight class who Foster couldn't beat
In an interview Bob says that he developed his left by constantly throwing it out with a 1 pound weight. Says thats why his left shoulder was bigger than his right. Huge Foster fan myself. Great vid as always
Bob Foster, one of the greatest light heavyweights in boxing with his great jabs and a devastating left hook, which I love how he put his opponents away in his division.
People forget about this man! One of the greatest p4p punchers in history retired light heavyweight champion of the world! Didn't fare so well against the heavy weights because he was really a light heavyweight but man that guy could punch! REST EASY 🏆
Bob foster was my favourite fighter to use on the first ever fight night on the PlayStation lol,brilliant fighter great jab and cross left hook all the vital basics,great light heavyweight,unfortunately to skinny for real heavyweights lost some fights but still a legend
Wow I am glad I subscribed, from the reply bout Montreal 76 Olympics, you truly are the hype man of the ones who weren't all hype, the boxers who were actually devastating, that jab, wow, av said that twice now, and it's the song choices with the right footage that entertains, onto the next, am looking forward to this like a rocky film, Thx bro
Pity he wasn't 5 or 10 years younger, imagine him mixing with saad Muhammad,spinks, galindez,conteh quasi and marvin Johnson for me he beats all those tremendous fighters but his legacy would have been far greater. I'll say it again rhythm and timing beats all this strength and conditioning of today,and better on the eye too.
It was almost cruel they way that his own era had so few fighters to seriously challenge him, and as soon as he retired in '77, one of the greatest generations of Light-Heavies ever started coming up.
@@quincyrobinson8139 I think he might be too long for quawi like he was for dick tiger, though quawi was more similar to joe Frazier and just as tough and awkward ask holyfield! I agree with you about moorer if he would have stayed at the weight who knows what he would of done.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE WAY HE ALWAYS KEPT HIMSELF IN PERFECT PUNCHING RANGE!!!!!!!!!! HIS LEFT HAND WAS MORE EDUCATED THAN CORNELL WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All though Bob Foster lost to Muhammad Ali by 8th round knock out, Bob Foster still became the only man to have cut Ali from a punch... Foster had Ali's left eye leaking something terrible...
Lightnin Bob Foster an absolute all time great! A lot of the older generation say Archie Moore was the best light Heavyweight ever but for me it's Foster remember him knocking out Chris Finnigan at Wembley and four years before that wins the light Heavyweight Title by knocking out Dick Tiger in the 4th spark out devastating
Excellent boxer at light heavyweight him & trinidad reminds me of each other as far as use of the devastating left hook....oh yea iran barkley left was mean too
@@brocksimmons345 I don't know, it seems to me that someone who understood distance and timing and had as good a jab as Foster could give Roy some fits. We saw a prime Roy struggle a bit with Montell Griffin in their first fight.
@@brocksimmons345 I'd favor Roy as well, don't get me wrong. He was perhaps the most naturally talented fighter ever in his prime, I simply reckon Foster had the size, reach and skills to make it a truly good fight.
Foster may be the best lightweight in history he had a very powerful lift hand and knockout power.....Dream match Foster vs Micheal Spinks,Foster vs Ezzard Charles, Foster vs Arche Moore but the dream match of then all Foster vs Matthew Sadd Muhammed your talking to of the hardest hitting lightweight in history..May Moore,Matthew and Charles soul rest in peace they all are true legends !!!
He later admitted his biggest mistake when going up to HW was he tried to hard to knock out the HW fighters instead of boxing them. And it cost him. Still a beast though.
Wicked extreme dangerous left hook. Extremely dangerous leverage transferring to impact. Strong impact jab; not a tapping- point making- feeling out punch. It hit like a straight left. He was the best light heavyweight ever in Boxing. No other lightweight from any other era was better. He was the best.
Conteh came a little too late and by that time Foster was no longer the same fighter. He actually was on commentary for Conteh's fight against Yaqui Lopez and you could tell he was very impressed by Conteh's jab and overall boxing ability.
Excellent Presentation Sir 👏! Foster was truly THE HITMAN in every sense of the word before Hearns came along. His kayos were SCARY. The Quarry KO in particular. Quarry looked as if he was dead and I'm not saying that in jest. He cleaned out an entire division and had the grit to face Frazier and Ali when they were good.
A lot of these modern boxers can learn from Bob Foster. Ali? Horrible matchup? Fuck it. Imma fight him. Joe? Too big and strong? Fuck it. Imma fight him. Bob Foster was a fuckin' warrior.
Ezzard Charles is the best LH in history, and there were some others better than Foster - but Foster's power is up there with hard hitters like Moore and Langford.
@GustavusAdolphus1 While there is negligible footage of Charles at LH - there is still some. And he was definitely superior to Loughran and Conn. Tunney was damn good - and that would have been a hell of a fantasy fight...but Charles beats him too.
@GustavusAdolphus1 I've already watched the Conn & Loughran films. And that's why I'm saying a Light-Heavyweight Charles beats them both. Everything they did (lateral circling, jab & parry, clinching off the parry, Charles did better). "Charles was probably a better Heavyweight than he was a Light Heavyweight, but even then, at his peak, he's missing and getting out-punched by a relative amateur." more
Julian Jackson type of power No other lighheavyweights expects adonis stevenson have this type of power but today’s fighters rehydrates crazy, imagine bob foster fights ggg who’s fight night weight is 170+, foster would crack that chin.
Слава Богу! Здравствуйте! Да, хорош был Фостер! Но это не тяж, кость тонкая! Дрался с Али, Фрезером! Просто нужны были деньги! Боец был шикарный, Царствие Небесное! Спасибо!

The one on dick tiger he fell in chapters
What? Not a perfect record? What a bum!
(Obviously joking about the sad state of modern boxing) Good work as yoosh haNZAgod

Imagine starting your career at 122 and finishing your career with 100 kos at heavyweight. That was Sam Langford the true p4p #1.
@@stevens392 Imagine going 41-0 with 40 knockouts, that's Deontay Wilder. The hardest hitter of all time
@@brocksimmons345 lol who did he knockout?
Bumsquad.
@@colorado2455 I was joking but I do seriously believe he is the hardest puncher of all time

Never lost his LH title in the ring. Moved to Heavy because he cleared out a division. Loses to Ali, Frazier, Terrell and Folley. A ATG!!
For real
Wow I love the history that you guys present to us younger cats!
The light heavyweight division was pretty dead back then to be honest. The heavyweight division back then was probably the best era for the heavyweights, alot of fighters in that weight class who Foster couldn't beat
@Kyler Scott no problem. Boxing has a deep and interesting history more than any other sport.
@@Kyler_951 and I love seeing you younger cats getting into your boxing history!
A Savage left hand and brilliant boxer who doesn't get mentioned that often.
In an interview Bob says that he developed his left by constantly throwing it out with a 1 pound weight. Says thats why his left shoulder was bigger than his right. Huge Foster fan myself. Great vid as always
That’s sounds about right I do similar I’ve now over time became effectively ambidextrous and can switch stance effortlessly preferring southpaw
I can believe that
No disrespect to the rest but you've got the best boxing/boxer HL's in TH-cam
Combined with his music selection is brilliant.
Him and reznick
And Lee Wylie
Brah he been having the best
We should note that Foster's right was also not to be overlooked.
Magnificent video! Thanks for the upload. Foster was an amazing fighter
Hanza, as always in shape
!
I love watching videos and researching this man. Thanks haNZAgod
Great Vid bud it's such a shame that he's one of the best LWH fighters and is not often talked about or studied by current fighters.
Bob Foster, one of the greatest light heavyweights in boxing with his great jabs and a devastating left hook, which I love how he put his opponents away in his division.
His jab was a power punch like those of Foreman & Holmes.
@@martyhowell4043 He did.
Beautiful jab
Greatest LHW of all time. A true warrior and legend.
Ezzard Charles was better you are clueless if you think not
@@surveying482 I agree, but Foster was up there too, probably second best after Charles.
@@shriharihudli no foster is 3rd it always goes 1. Ezzard 2. Archie 3. Foster simple
@@surveying482 1. Charles 2. Moore 3. Tunney are top 3 imo. Foster, Spinks and Conn are honorable mentions
@@TheTruthTalker_tunney? 🤣🤣😭💀 he avoided an entire race/talent pool of fighters he was 🗑️
So glad to see Bob Foster on here!
Brutal boxer and wicked intensions
People forget about this man! One of the greatest p4p punchers in history retired light heavyweight champion of the world! Didn't fare so well against the heavy weights because he was really a light heavyweight but man that guy could punch! REST EASY 🏆
Bob Foster, This guy out textbooks the textbook!!!
Wow, never heard of this man. I’m ashamed. Amazing!
😳
Nice editing and background music!
The way Bob feints a philly shell to pop out with a power shot is ridiculous. Sweet science.
Guillermo Rigondeaux clearly learned that from him.

Spinks and Muhammad "might" have given him problems.
@@quincyrobinson8139 Qawi was only 5-7. Stay off of the crack.
His jab was awesome.
Awesome highlights man!
Bob Foster was the reason you drove the speed limit in Rio Rancho, NM!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE WAY HE ALWAYS KEPT HIMSELF IN PERFECT PUNCHING RANGE!!!!!!!!!! HIS LEFT HAND WAS MORE EDUCATED THAN CORNELL WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easily the best jab in the light heavyweight division!
Thanks for the video!
Great video!
P4P - one of the hardest punchers in boxing's recorded history.
All though Bob Foster lost to Muhammad Ali by 8th round knock out, Bob Foster still became the only man to have cut Ali from a punch...
Foster had Ali's left eye leaking something terrible...
Foster had a devastating left hand indeed..and his RIGHT one was equally impressive!
LH version of hearns 😂
I also had that thought, too. Great jab, strong hits.
Darren Gill also reminds me of hearns. Of course, not to the same level however instantly thought hearns when I saw him
I was thinking the same thing.
That combination of range and power had to be a nightmare for the other guy. And to top it off he had a very good inside game, too.
The Mike Quarry knockout was scary.
True, but his bro Jerry Quarry would've decimated Foster
Thanks for doing my request you never dissapoint me.
Lightnin Bob Foster an absolute all time great! A lot of the older generation say Archie Moore was the best light Heavyweight ever but for me it's Foster remember him knocking out Chris Finnigan at Wembley and four years before that wins the light Heavyweight Title by knocking out Dick Tiger in the 4th spark out devastating
Ezzard Charles beat Archie 3 times 3-0 no doubt he is the greatest LHW ever indisputable
Used to work with Bob Jr in PA around 03..good stories

Hey HaNZA, love your content!, can you do one of these "Jab" Highlight videos for Jimmy young , very underated and great fighter
Well that was the most intimidating 4:30 of my day lol
Maravilhoso vídeo 👏👏👏👏👏
Mama there goes that man with a brick in his left hand🚬
Foster vs. Roy Jones would have been one for the ages!
Foster was good but Jones was on a whole different level
@@brocksimmons345 I don't know, it seems to me that someone who understood distance and timing and had as good a jab as Foster could give Roy some fits. We saw a prime Roy struggle a bit with Montell Griffin in their first fight.

I like the way he fights
1:40 the ref was like nah you can go on bro
"walk soflty and carry a big stick" Bob Foster he kind of fought like he did his sheriffs job.
I like the music
Great light heavyweight relentless pressure
He was like a LHW Tommy Hearns
Jermall charlo should watch tapes on this guy!

Ezzard Charles is the greatest light heavyweight, hands down
He later admitted his biggest mistake when going up to HW was he tried to hard to knock out the HW fighters instead of boxing them. And it cost him. Still a beast though.
Wicked extreme dangerous left hook. Extremely dangerous leverage transferring to impact.
Strong impact jab; not a tapping- point making- feeling out punch. It hit like a straight left.
He was the best light heavyweight ever in Boxing.
No other lightweight from any other era was better.
He was the best.
Foster was one of the great ones. I think he's the only one to have cut Ali in a fight.
One of these for joe louis and jimmy young would be awesome 👍
Have you done a chartchai chionoi highlight reel?
Music is DOPE!
one word for that left hook fucking scary what power
@haNZAgod what's the great tune on this one please?
@sean kinkegaard Dark Oasis (feat. The Moliqule, Le Sept)
@@eutuxiadustuxia1918 Thanks mate!
Dick Tiger was underweight, undersized and aged 40 when he lost the title. On paper 40 year old Tiger is bob foster best name resume wise
To be a great fighter you must have a great left hand
Where you get the music from? Let me know how
;) th-cam.com/video/SaCb4UBQYLc/w-d-xo.html
This is why Monzon never went up to Light-Heavyweight.
Would have been interesting to see a rematch against Ahumada and maybe even a fight against John Conteh.
Conteh came a little too late and by that time Foster was no longer the same fighter. He actually was on commentary for Conteh's fight against Yaqui Lopez and you could tell he was very impressed by Conteh's jab and overall boxing ability.
When an orthodox fighter has a front hand that good it's not a jab......but a strait left.
Excellent Presentation Sir 👏! Foster was truly THE HITMAN in every sense of the word before Hearns came along. His kayos were SCARY. The Quarry KO in particular. Quarry looked as if he was dead and I'm not saying that in jest. He cleaned out an entire division and had the grit to face Frazier and Ali when they were good.

What about South Africa???
?
Bob foster vs Michael spinks .who ya got ?
Very difficult fight to call could easily go either way. I'd give Spinks the slightest of margins.
2:07 😵
I believe Dick Tiger did a Triple head tap on the way down...T.
thw only man that blacked and closed Ali eye
Video suggestion: samart payakaroon footwork/defense.
I like that suggestion but my Payakaroon highlight already displays some of his footwork and defense so I'd only be using similar clips.
@@hanzagod true.
also what happened with the tim whiterspoon defense highlight and the antonio tarver devastating left vids they are both unlisted?
Yo! That jab! Dude is completely sideways...bladed...
