    Let me get this straight - do you think that Wilder would stop 160 lbs Toney in one round, but that he'd struggle to stop 217 lbs Toney?

    I think Wilder stops any version, just that it takes him longer to stop the 217 lbs version. In how many rounds is hard to say since Toney was very skilled and Wilder isn't.
    But in our thread tittle, the tables are turned, since the big guy (Foreman) is more skilled than the little guy (Fitzsimmons)

    If the Bobs get to come forward in time, spend some time in the future, train in the future for the contest, and see George's fights on film, George could probably handle two in a row, one right after the other (assuming George never leaves the ring). IMHO, of course.

    That's not even true; but whatever... You can believe that Foreman, who struggled with a few scrubs in a row, would stop 20-30 Bobs with one punch each. Yeah, that sounds realistic.

    If he does land clean, he does take Fitzsimmons out with one punch.

    Yeah and he'd land clean on 30 Fitzsimmonses in a row within one round. This is ridiculous.

    I won't even mention the fact that Jeffries needed much more than one clean punch to stop Fitzsimmons and Jeffries was the same size as Foreman. Sure, he likely didn't hit as hard but he had high workrate and was strong puncher himself.

    Oh, shut up.

    My guess is about 20.

    Not my fault that you are all insane. We've seen Foreman trying to do this against scrubs and it didn't look pretty.

    Although Foreman was not exactly the definition of skill, he still had far more than Jeffries ever did.
    Worst case scenario: Foreman takes out 5 Fitzsimmons
    Best case scenario: Foreman takes out 10-20.

    Based on what exactly? Jeffries also had much better stamina than Foreman for what it's worth.

    Was that guy as good a boxer as Foreman ? The answer is no.
    Even someone as small as Mayweather can KO a very big guy if that big guy sucks.
