    Frazier met destruction the day he met a big HW puncher in Foreman. Wilder has similar punching power and has a similar or longer reach. Although, he may not take punishment as well as Foreman. Could Wilder repeat what George Foreman did.

    Frazier destroys him, KO in less than 6 rounds. Frazier's Bob and weave would be a serious problem for Wilder and Wilder's defense is asking for a left hook. (This is assuming it's prime Frazier at 205-6lbs rather than past prime at 210s)

    Also please never compare Wilder to Foreman ever again.

    68-71 Frazier obliterates that scrub.

    I wouldn't call it a no brainier. Wilder has the tools here. Question is, does he make the best use of said tools?

    They have SOME similarities, you must admit. Both are power punchers galore, both own a height and reach advantage over Fraizer, they had similar styles, although Foreman was technically better and both are strong as oxes (oxen?)

    I could definitely see Wilder getting ground down and stopped but i could also see him keeping his distance and bombing on Frazier from outside Joe’s punching range. For all we knock Wilder’s skills around here, and for all of Joe’s greatness, Frazier was a small, hittable, one-punch-dependent heavyweight after all, and Wilder is an explosive, extremely hard hitting big man with underrated mobility. I’d love to see this fight.

    So what great skills did Foreman demonstrate when beating Frazier? It seems Frazier simply couldn't handle his power

    Wilder too hittable with no game up close. Sure, he's got a chance, but I'm taking the PROVEN fighter in Frazier.

    If Wilder comes out with hands a blazin in the first few rounds then it could be good night Frazier.

    For a guy with 40 fights I don't see much improvement over the last 3 years.All his punches are long and he can be wildly innacurate. Barring shipping that right hand , once Frazier gets inside the fight is his imo

    Foreman could always handle short guys.I don't know if Wilder can.
