Good morning definitively one of the best. I would agree that Ezzard Archie Michael would be placed ahead of him.However any logical observer would recognize his achievements as a great lightheavy. Definitely one of the best in his division. An all time great for sure.
I served as an official with the New Mexico State Athletic Commission alongside of Bob. He was a lot of fun, and beneath that serious exterior was a very playful and kind hearted man! I attended his funeral when we had to say "so long" to my friend.
Best doc I've seen on The Sheriff, like for so many of Rich's documentaries. A solid hour of info and action. Great stuff once again. I wish every boxing fan anywhere knew this fabulous channel.
Well done video Rich for a truly great Lt. hvy. Foster had a body for boxing. No fat, long arms, wide shoulders and very tone muscles but not huge. He would have been great in any era
Rich you never cease to amaze. Champion Bob Foster was the Tommy Hearns of an earlier time: long, lanky, powerful tall men who knew how to punch hard in tight, precise angles. His combos off the jab jab are unparalleled. #loveyourchannel
You see the panic on Bob's face as they counted Quarry out. And as soon as the count was done he came over to check on him. His freaking handlers BOUNCED his head of the canvas for crying out loud!!
Legendary boxer and a true champion, just imagine Light heavy weights now moving up regularly and fighting cruiserweights then still going back down to make a defence, plus Bob fought the two of greatest heavyweights ever, what a fighter. A super documentary from you again Rich, by far the number one of boxing history, makes my day. 🥊👏
Bob Foster was a deputy sheriff. To my knowledge, the only boxer who became an actual Sheriff was Jersey Joe Walcott. Joe was the first African American to serve as the elected Sheriff of Camden County, NJ. As usual, a fantastic video!
Thanks Rich for another winner, this one being of one of my all time favorites. It’s brought back so many memories. The Tiger stoppage, with the image of a heretofore indestructible warrior helpless on the canvas remains a shock to this day. I was at the old Springfield Coliseum for Kendall fight, an afternoon Wide World event with Howard Cosell. Foster fought there one other time against Charlie Polite. I lost track of him after retiring. Thanks for filling me in. This was an all time great. A dream match would have been Foster vs Archie Moore. Thanks again Rich. My Saturday morning is off to a great start.
Bob Foster, Great Lt heavyweight Champion And A Class A Professional, After the KO, Foster Went Right Over to HELP Mike Quarry. R.I.P. CHAMP 🏆 🥊 Bob Foster 🙏🏼🌹
@@RichtheFightHistorian when I was a teenager and training I wanted to fight like Dempsey by copying his style when one day the elder old trainer came in and watched me on the bags and sparring and said I was like a young white Bob Foster, when at the time I didn’t realise how much of a compliment it was. Sadly I was nothing like him or Dempsey in the ring but when you’re young you believe you could be, ha.
@@chriso1585 The trainer saw similarities in you and that is something to be proud of. I remember my trainer comparing me to some of the greats and those words gave me great confidence.
It always drives me crazy when I see someone clearly unconcious and the ref gives a count instead of ending the fight and letting someone attend to the fighter. The worst one I can remember was when it happened to Joe Walcott
The weird thing about his near disaster encounter with Eddie Vick where Foster was almost KOd in 1 is I looked up Eddie Vick's record and he had zero KOs in 11 wins. Bizarre.
How about Eddie Cotton? He was from my Home town of Seattle...he fought for the title, and did well, but he did not have a real knockout punch, and so he lost a split decision to Jose Torres. Cotton worked for Boeing for many years.
Bob was probably the best light heavy ever-a victim of his own success, really. No other light heavy could touch him, and he just ran out of people to fight at his natural weight. He was forced to fight the bigger guys for the bigger pay checks!
Rich, this is by far the best boxing channel on RUclips! Great video always loved Bob Foster as a boxer. Have you done one on Ike Ibeabuchi? just checking thanks for all you do.🥊
He was so right, when you’re on top everybody cares about you, when you’re at the bottom nobody even wants to knows you anymore. No matter what you thought you once meant to people. John Lennon sang “nobody knows you when you’re down and out, when you’re on cloud nine”.
I got *Michael Spinks* as the greatest light heavyweight champion of all times, but l would've loved to have seen a prime *Bob Foster* vs a prime *Micheal Spinks* would have been quite a showdown...
@@allinfun829 Micheal Spinks had insufficient amount of power for the light heavyweight division, his knockout ratio was pretty darn good... And Micheal Spinks style would've been why too scientific and modern for Bob Foster, and the awkwardness of Michael Spinks... That awkwardness and Speed would most definitely put the Spinks Jenks on Bob Foster... Micheal Spinks would just be way too advanced tricky quick and awkward for Bob Foster...
@@claydogmadman7843 Maybe. Maybe. But I don't see it. Nobody on the planet at 175 could stand up to a Foster punch. It would have been just a matter of time for that one punch to connect. The difference between Spinks and Foster was that 1 punch KO ability. Few have ever had it.
@@claydogmadman7843 Mongoose yes he was tough as nails. But if I recall he was in a fight where he was knocked down like 5 times? He did come back and end up winning. He would stay down after a Foster punch.
Imo hardest p4p puncher in history. One shot kayoes of otherwise iron chinned Tiger and Mike Quarry are the stuff of legend. Vicente Rondon went 10 with Earnie Shavers, what Foster did to him inside 2 should have been illegal. Most knockouts in boxing don't actually leave men unconscious, his routinely did.
Thanks for this video Rich. In my opinion Bob Foster is the second best light heavyweight of all time. I personally believe Archie Moore was the greatest.
@@curbozerboomer1773I think it's because they know how to use range effectively, and as such their opponents tend to be bludgeoned to death rather than one hit KO'd
The greatest light heavy ever? Absolutely! The best 1 punch devastater in the division. I thought he killed Quarry. I do believe he was unbeaten as a light heavy when he retired after Ahumada. Getting into the ring at 175 vs Ali and Frazier unheard of. And he cuts Ali! He's the Duran of the light heavy. Untouchable.
I'm collating a lot of my old boxing magazines and am looking for an old Boxing Illustrated article on Charles that had a lot of pics on him. As soon as I come across it, I'll do a piece on him.
Let that be a warning to all young men ; those lady's don't hand around when the good times stop rolling . If you're having doubts , start an escape fund or you'll end up sleeping in your car , thats if she don't take that as well !
Foster was such a wrecking machine at light heavyweight-but fighting Ali and Frazier was too tall of an order for a light heavy built like Bob-the Frazier fight is like if Tommy Hearns fought Dave Tua. Great video and learned a lot on why Bob Foster was so feared at light heavy.
Brilliant work as always rich 👏... Bob was a great fighter, but marrying his best friends ex wife !! ?? OUCH..... rich I would love to see you doing a documentary on Julian Jackson, for me the hardest puncher p4p ever
@RichtheFightHistorian thats great news rich, hecwas just blessed with God given punching power... your channel is my favourite on RUclips... outstanding work and you have the perfect voice for narration..
An all-time great who could've been even greater had he stuck exclusively to the Light heavyweight division instead of dabbling in the heavyweight division, where almost all his losses came from.
I love Bob Foster!! Absolutely one of the best light heavyweights ever to reign. He had that same build and musculature as Tommy Hearns and was truly “the hit man “ before Hearns. Make no mistake, a wiry guy with a big punch is dangerous and hard to fight. The mention that he was considered as an opponent for Floyd Patterson is very interesting. Too bad it never happened. Not sure which way it would have gone, but watching him against Dick Tiger (and Floyd’s chin) kind of makes me feel like I actually have seen it. I always thought Ali’s win over him was not particularly satisfying. Frazier’s was definitive and the only time I’ve ever seen Foster truly KOd. Foster would have gone broke if I had a Time Machine. Because I’d tell everyone in the light heavyweight division to definitely not fight this guy. It’s kinda funny to me that these old time boxing announcers like Don Dunphy, compared him to Bob Fitzsimmons. Could there be a less relevant fighter? I’m pretty sure Foster spent zero time studying Bob Fitzsimmons. Anyway, I Love Bob Foster!! One the best ever!!!
Throughout the years I've do you realize how many times Foster pulled a knockout punch on Ali to let him and I say let him win that fight that was one hell of a bottle by watching how he pulls his punches to keep from knocking out because he is in perfect position for where he can't turn away from the punch and he's going into Foster's
Foster was a great puncher but he sometimes didn't take fights to win other then get a payday. I think it was funny they said work the body against Frazier and he didn't even throw one body punch lol
You can’t throw body shots or any meaningful ones when your a tall skinny fighter against a short heavier guy that’s low to the ground and will catch you soon as you throw one.
Ooh more videos Richie nice one , not sure why his name seems familiar I wasn't even born yet maybe seen a fight of his before or someone mentioned his name, have my breakfast and watch this 🙂 perfect
Bob should have heeded Tommy Loughran's advice. He never had the frame to hold the weight. The Frazier fight shows the greatness of Joe. Bob had height and reach and against a lesser heavyweight he probably wins. But Joe was all pressure and negated Bob's advantages. My trainer used to put me in with a guy half my age and about 5 inches taller than me AND A SOUTHPAW! I would say to Manny "what can I possibly do!" Well to say the least he got the better of me most of the time, but it taught me how to get inside and eliminate his advantages. I hate it when Manny is right! LOL. Great one Rich
Ah, there are competing dates in news reports and I think Wikipedia gets it wrong. He's in the Air Force by '57...His listed age changes around the time of the Frazier fight so I think he or his team fudged four years as he got older.
People can be that inept, let's assume that cornerman was in an state of panic seeing Mike flatlined and was thus clumsier than usual, that's an easier to believe possibility than someone from his own corner bashing his head against the canvas intentionally.

One of the greatest light heavy in the history of boxing Bob Foster
Not one of, the greatest light heavyweight of all time
@@pauclyoung2124What about Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore and Michael Spinks?
@@user-gg8li6ow6l ONE of the greatest is what Charles said

Bob Foster. True one punch power with either hand. Everybody avoided him. Great job as usual Rich!🙏🥊🙏
Thank you, Baja.
Great look back at one of the best to ever do it at 175.
Thank you rich for making a documentary about him, a very underrated fighter that had a terrific left hook
My pleasure, Gavin.
Definitely in the top 5 light heavyweights of all time
You see the panic on Bob's face as they counted Quarry out. And as soon as the count was done he came over to check on him. His freaking handlers BOUNCED his head of the canvas for crying out loud!!
Saw that as well, wtf was his corner thinking?
Loved it. Thank you.
My pleasure, Chris.
The Sheriff was a serious VIBE! I didn't know just how GOOD he was. Thanks for the history lesson, Rich!
Always a pleasure, LetigGoIazziter.
Bob Foster is one of the greatest unsung boxing legends of all time
Legendary boxer and a true champion, just imagine Light heavy weights now moving up regularly and fighting cruiserweights then still going back down to make a defence, plus Bob fought the two of greatest heavyweights ever, what a fighter. A super documentary from you again Rich, by far the number one of boxing history, makes my day. 🥊👏
Hey thanks, Brett.
Very interesting.
I never heard of Bob Foster.
My Dad would've known of him though.
Brilliant rich ....you the man
Bob Foster was a deputy sheriff. To my knowledge, the only boxer who became an actual Sheriff was Jersey Joe Walcott. Joe was the first African American to serve as the elected Sheriff of Camden County, NJ.

Bob Foster would’ve been a champ in any era.He struggled against the very best heavies but in his own class, he was the boss
Awsome vid Rich
Thank you, Paul.
Thank you, Rich, for another great profile of one of my first favorite fighters. My dad was a cop, so he was very partial to Foster.
My pleasure, Michael.
Great upload Bob has to be one of the best light heavyweights of all time
LET’S GO!! I’ve been waiting for a good Bob Foster documentary
Bob Foster s style looked like Thomas hearns! And his lanky tall build made him look like Thomas hearns!
When considering all time great light heavyweights, one can’t overlook Ezzard Charles, who beat Archie Moore three times before moving up.
Bob Foster, Great Lt heavyweight Champion And A Class A Professional,
After the KO, Foster Went Right Over to HELP Mike Quarry.
R.I.P. CHAMP 🏆 🥊
Bob Foster 🙏🏼🌹
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Sure thing, John.

Thanks, Mr. T
When trainers say come back with the left hook, think Sherrif Bob Foster, who did it consistently. A great puncher at 175lbs.
This man had vicious power
Bob was a great fighter. Wished him and Mauro Mina had a rematch.
Imo hardest p4p puncher in history. One shot kayoes of otherwise iron chinned Tiger and Mike Quarry are the stuff of legend.

Thanks for this video Rich. In my opinion Bob Foster is the second best light heavyweight of all time. I personally believe Archie Moore was the greatest.
Sure thing, Zippydoo. I have Michael Spinks & Foster as 1 and 1A.
Possessor of quite possibly the most lethal left hook in history.
Царствие Небесное чемпиону! Я грешник, видел всего несколько поединков Фостера! Это был леопард, который сражался с львами и тиграми! Спасибо!
If I didn't know better I thought I was watching Tommy Hearns , what a superb fighter Bob foster was , thanks for the great memories Rich.
How those tall, slender boxers somehow have good hitting power, has always left me wondering how they do it!
@@curbozerboomer1773I think it's because they know how to use range effectively, and as such their opponents tend to be bludgeoned to death rather than one hit KO'd

Him vs Tommy Hearns a super fight.,Bob was the Tommy Hearns of his time from size to style but if they could've fought at lightheavy
The great ones often have a vicious left hook.
The greatest light heavy ever? Absolutely! The best 1 punch devastater in the division. I thought he killed Quarry. I do believe he was unbeaten as a light heavy when he retired after Ahumada. Getting into the ring at 175 vs Ali and Frazier unheard of. And he cuts Ali! He's the Duran of the light heavy. Untouchable.
Ther street punks of Albuquerque ran in fear when Sherriff Bob Foster came around!
Bob Foster has one of the most devastating right hands in Boxing. Don't mean to change the subject, but can you do a documentary on Ezzard Charles?

Also that’s what fighters back then did, they’d only fight to get paid. Before and after foster .

Was that the car factory he used to work at ford? I think it's in or was in Detroit

Ah, there are competing dates in news reports and I think Wikipedia gets it wrong. He's in the Air Force by '57...His listed age changes around the time of the Frazier fight so I think he or his team fudged four years as he got older.
Why was Quarry dropped on his head at 32:33? You can't do that accidentally.
