    Foreman shatters that fraud's glass jaw early. Within a round, two tops.

    Wilder finds out what it feels like to be hit by a real 70's grade puncher , if George is bissed off going into the fight. (No comment on the 90's version of Foreman, too many unknowns).

    I could even see Lyle beating Wilder and even in losing, giving Wilder a stern test.

    Foreman settles his hash early.

    Wilder has tremendous power, yes. But his technique is abysmal and he's got dodgy footwork and imo a paper mache chin. Guys have wobbled him with jabs before. That's a terrible attribute to have against a brute like Foreman who ALSO had the chin to go with his power.

    So long, Wilder.

    No comparison between these two...George Foreman would have destroyed Wilder within 2 to 3 rounds.

    Younger Foreman deletes Wilder. You wouldn't even find him in the recycling bin.
    Older Foreman, I simply can't guess.

    Quite frankly, watching Wilder's top 10 knockouts only further highlights just how inept his competition has been.

    To the question at hand, I see no logical argument to support Wilder lasting any longer than Norton did if he fights a young George.
