    Who wins this battle of undisputed champs?

    You have Wilder with the length, size, speed and footwork

    Power is about equal, although different types.

    Chin and heart are the big question marks here..

    Who do you have in this fight?

    Foreman by brutal KO1. Even if Wilder somehow survives first coupe of rounds, I don't see Windmiller survive past 5 rounds.

    Wilder by k.o .

    Wilder may get alot of slack,but 70's Foreman was the Wilder back in his day , except he also had no defense and telegraphed every shot besides the jab . He would run straight at Wilder and at some point get nailed with an over hand right. Ive seen Foreman get knocked off balance by far less punchers . Wilder can box of the backfoot and he would time the slow predictability of Foreman ,who didnt have his 90's chin THEN .Foreman simply leaves himself to open ,wild hooks and arms far apart (open guard )for the Wilder specialty which is fast straight rights and over hand one shot power that could k.o anyone if it lands cleanly ....i'll take 225/ 230 Wilder over the than smaller Foreman by k.o .

    IF Wilder went into wild swing mode ,thats usually when hes on the ropes or his opponent is which also gives him advantage here bc Foreman didnt like guys swinging back on him ,he almost needed to have timid guys ,in a dog fight Wilder wont let up and you have to truly crack him ...yea a punchers chance for either but......this wil llook like the Lyle fight but Wilder would set him up for the boom,he is harder to hit and much faster than Lyle and 75 Foreman was tougher than 72 Foreman .

    Undisputed champ? You realise that has an actual meaning, yes? You can't just call someone undisputed.

    I can certainly see Wilder jabbing, moving and potshoting his way to a decision against Old George, but Young George is another story. I just can't see how anyone can pick Wilder over that version, with any real confidence.

    70's Foreman would look terrible today ,he couldn't even defeat Jimmy Young .The same ppl claiming Wilder is sloppy and off balance i guess have beer goggles bc Foreman looks unrefined as anyone ever did ,he didnt even have good composure or stamina after the early rnds.Foreman NEVER beat any moving target come to think of it ,now he has a moving target who has power 6'7 and 83 inch reach ? ,this is a joke bc Wilder would be Foremans most dangerous opponent .Who hit harder Young (20% K.O percentage ) or Wilder ?

    You know Young knocked Foreman down right ? And was visibly wobbled before and after he got up.

    60/40 for Wilder !
