    Foster is made to miss more than he ever did in his whole career by one of the best technical boxers ever (who is sadly really overlooked) but in the end he dictates enough of the action with his jab and his height to win a decision... it's possible he could KO Johnson with one of his monstorus punches, but I think it would be too awkward and tricky a task for him, so he'd stick to just using that jab and get the "W" ... 10-5, 9-6 type of fight

    I see Johnson getting sparked while up on the cards, but Foster mightve been unable to duplicate that in a second fight. Johnson is sure under-rated, as CDogg said.

    Definitely, I could count on one hand the amount of times his name has come up in over 10 years here

    Yep. Johnson was a very good fighter who unfortunately had to deal with Archie Moore on a regular basis.

    AND...as we speak, someone is looking up Johnson's record online and deciding, after seeing "KO by 3" against Jersey Joe Walcott, that Johnson was a "chinny bum".
