    The two hardest Punchers ever. Both monstrous physical specimens with freakish dimensions/strength.

    Foreman has that 'bone-crushing', breakdown power, whereas Wilder gets everything into one, supercharged bolt-like punch. Both have half decent chins (nod in Wilder's favour) and subpar skills.

    I think Wilder would get there first, athletes just keep getting better.

    Wilder stops Foreman in 1. Obviously if he's not in that damn costume... ;)

    The difference maker in this fight is that George has a good chin and Wilder doesn't.

    When did he take punches of someone like Ortiz? Last I remember he was dropped by Jimmy Young and old Ali. That's hardly a great chin.

    Foreman had one gear - forward
    and Wilder can’t fight going backwards!

    Yeah but can he take that power? It takes a ballsy guy to walk onto the punch that KOed Breazeale.

    Foreman puts him on Bambi legs very early on in the fight and unlike Fury will actually finish him off quickly after that and not let it go on another 4 rounds.

    Big G by decapitation. Foreman IMO hit harder then Wilder and his cross armed defense would help vs Deontay because we all know Wilder does not go to the body

    Are you seriously suggesting that Wilder has possibly an even better chin than Foreman or did I read that wrong?

    Foreman easily KOes him. If Romanov can just walk him down imagine what big George would do to him.

    That's like saying Wilder easily KOs Foreman because IF Clay Hodges "walked down" Foreman as an amateur not once but twice, imagine what Wilder would do to him.

    Don't ruin a thread with nonsense.

    Wilder did not improve this part of his game. He still can't fight going backwards.

    How many fights did you see George Foreman "fighting backwards?" Name ONE.

    If you have nothing to add, go away.

    What if Deontay has a couple of Foreman grills strapped to his wraps?
