Editing Bob Foster (boxer) (section)

===Frazier vs Foster===
In 1970, Foster made two more trips to the heavyweights. In the first, he beat fringe contender Lee Wallace in six rounds by knockout. This was followed by a return to the light-heavyweight division to defend his title against Rouse. Infuriated by some comments that Rouse's manager had made before the bout concerning the fact that even though Foster knocked out Rouse in their first bout he was not able to drop him, Foster dropped Rouse five times en route to a fourth-round knockout victory. A knockout in 10 to retain the title against Mark Tessman followed, and then he was given the chance to challenge for the world heavyweight title. Facing world champion [[Joe Frazier]] on the night of November 18 in [[Detroit]], he was knocked out in two rounds.

After defeating Hal Carroll by a knockout in four rounds to defend his crown, the [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] stripped him of the title, but he was still recognized by the [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] as a champion. Foster became enraged at the WBA, which proceeded to have [[Vicente Rondon]] of [[Venezuela]] and [[Jimmy Dupree]] fight for the world title. Rondon won, becoming the second [[Latin American]] world light-heavyweight champion (after [[José Torres (boxer)|José Torres]]), and Foster set his eyes on him. Foster went on defending his WBC title, and he defeated challengers [[Ray Anderson (Boxer)|Ray Anderson]], [[Tommy Hicks]], and [[Brian Kelly (boxer)|Brian Kelly]]. Of those three, it was Anderson who was the only one to last the 15 round distance with Foster.
