    Foreman has trouble with Fury. Won't have the speed to catch him and I think Fury stays the boxer gets a UD.

    Foreman 70's vs Wilder is a 50/50 punch fest similar to the Lyle fight. Both throw similar punches that are sloppy and wide when they become aggressive. Wilder speed or Foremans better dictation through the jab in a technical fight ? is also unpredictable.

    Foreman 90's vs Wilder ? Foreman absorbs some shots then lands a huge uppercut on the inside bc he slowed Wilder down with power jabs and leaning on him making him push off. Wins by K.O late with some swelling.

    Foreman Ko's wilder in 5. Gets decisioned by Fury. Foreman picks everybody to beat him though. It doesn't become him. What's that old Bruce Lee quote? "If I told you I'm good you'd think I'm boasting, if I told you I'm no good you'd KNOW I was lying."

    Foreman just being humble like he always is of course he would have knocked out Wilder. Fury on the other hand is a tough match-up... I still think he stops him but Fury would be outboxing him up until that point.

    You just cannot rush open swinging into Wilder like you can into Ken Norton. The same way Mike Tyson could not rush into AJ the way he could into Spinks.
    But I think fighting a little bit better behind the jab he could pressure him. Against Fury he could fight more agressive. He was good at cutting the ring and doing damage. If Fury survives too long, things get bad for George.

    Fury gives Prime Foreman fits ,it would be a clash of styles. But I won't go so far as to say Fury gets a decision over him ,Prime George would be dangerous all the way through.
    Wilder worst decision would be to try slugging it out with GF ,he'd More than likely end up out cold ..

    Foreman is a very humble guy.

    Fury would be tough for Foreman. He would not give him the openings and George would have to work the body and corner him and Fury is big. Wilder he would stop, but that right hand who knows. But I would pick George
