He Had No Muscles, But Punched Like Tyson! Bob Foster

Bob Foster was one of the most dominant light heavyweights in boxing history. Standing 6’3” with a long reach and a devastating left hook, he controlled the division from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. Foster’s jab and timing made him nearly untouchable at light heavyweight, where he became undisputed champion and defeated a string of contenders and former champions. Although his ventures into the heavyweight division saw him outmatched against bigger men, at 175 pounds he was the final word. Foster’s career is remembered not just for his knockouts, but for the deceptive power that came from his lean frame, and the efficiency with which he broke opponents down. This video looks back at the career of Bob Foster, his style, and the legacy he left as one of the greatest punchers the light heavyweight division has ever seen.
