Great Little man is Always Defeated by a the Great Big Man.
There is always a Certain Weight that a Certain Fighter Owns.
He Rule that division with iron fist, and Defended that division like its own country.
Foster owns the lightHW Division, as powerful and as Good as boxer Hearns is Foster is an animal in this division, with Freakish Punching Power.
We see how Hearns got destroyed by Hagler when he move up in weight, and He lost steam against Leonard.
Foster TKO7 Hearns.

Good fight Brent F. I rank Foster as the 2nd greatest Lgt Heavy behingd Archie Moore. Thomas "The Hit Man Hearns" had great power but so did Foster who I had the pleasure of seeing fight several times. I believe that for a few rounds this fight would be a good boxing match dominated by jabs. In about the 9th round Foster catches Hearns with a devastating right cross and sends Hearns to the canvas for the count.

I do not think this fight would be much of a contest. I also rank Bob Foster very high as an all time great lightheavy. He had devestating punching power, accumulating 46 KOs during his career. He also never lost a fight to a lightheavyweight, all of his losses came against heavyweights. This, compounded with a fairly weak chin on Hearns would allow Foster to garner a victory over Hearns by a 5th round KO.

At Lt. Heavyweight Foster massacres Tommy, the only good part
of this scenario is that it has the potential to be another Hagler-Hearns type fight. Total action until the Hitman crumbles.

Hearns - W 61 (KO's 48) TF 67 - W pct 91% - KO pct 72% - wins over Benitez, Duran, V. Hill and Cuevas - KO'ed by Leonard, Hagler and Barkley - #18 ranked puncher - #67 ranked fighter
Much better boxer than given credit for
Lack of stamina and possibly a weak chin did cost him a better/lower ranking as an all-time great fighter
Foster - W 56 (KO's 46) TF 65 - W pct 86% - KO pct 72% - wins over D. Tiger, V. Rondon and M. Quarry - KO'ed by Frazier and Ali (most of his KO defeats were by Hwy wts, except 2 at the end of his career when he was 40 yrs old) - #17 ranked puncher - #55 ranked fighter
As great of a fighter as Hearns was we have Foster by a KO inside of 5 rds.
