    Foster could be a H2H nightmare against any LHW, but I'd favor Charles given his proven ability to beat not only fellow ATGs like Moore but also bigger men up at HW.

    I pick Bob. Ezzard is the GOAT at the weight, but I think Bob and his piston jab do enough to win a cracker, close.

    Foster is the head to head GOAT at 175 imo.

    Am I saying that because I'm a Foster groupie? Partially, but its also what I truly believe.

    That's a fair point, but I don't see Ezzard doing much better against Frazier or Ali than Foster did.

    Thatnotwithstanding, Foster was just one of those guys who was perfectly suited for his weight. Ezzard a better P4P, but that's not an issue here imo.
