    Parker would do better against Wilder.

    Speed, size and movement are the keyes to beat Wilder.

    That fraud Wilder doesn't last 30 seconds with a young Big George. The old one of the 90s starches that joke too, it just might take a round or two.

    We'll be on here 4 more years like the previous 5 talking about how he is a glass jawed joke and he will still have yet to face a top ten guy. Smh

    I've been following boxing for 35 years, man, and in that time I've never seen a fighter face more pathetic "competition" for longer than Wilder. Never. It's amazing that anyone takes this clown seriously.

    When a sickly Stiverne , Zelenoff, and the beast from the southeast Dustin Nichols are the best guys on your resumé? Wow.

    I think 2016 George Foreman may beat Deontay Wilder.

    This can't be a serious question. Wilder's best win is Arreola.

    And yet Foreman demolished Frazier, Norton, battered Ali even in defeat and way, way past his prime was competitive in the 90's and far surpassed anything Young did before and after their fight.

    You're really underrating Foreman. Sure he was sloppy but that doesn't mean he was bad as attested by his resume. Froch was sloppy technically and wild as well but arguably the 2nd best super middle in his era. Fury can be awfully sloppy as well but beat the technically impressive Wlad. Just because Foreman made technical errors like loading up and telegraphing shots doesn't mean he wasn't damn effective despite that.

    Foreman had a ramrod jab, something that got overlooked a lot during his prime because everyone was awed by his power. This jab would give Wilder problems like it did everyone else that fought Foreman, like Briggs who despite his youth, size and speed was out jabbed badly by Foreman who landed 100 more jabs during their fight.

    Foreman had a ferocious body attack as well and despite his telegraphed shots he was surprisingly accurate. He was Olympic champion for a reason for all his rough edges and rawness he did enough things right and that combined with insane power would make him favourite over the still very untested Wilder.

    Who has Wilder beat, a fat 6'2" Stiverne with Rhabdomyolosis. That Stiverne would be lucky to go 3 rounds with prime Foreman, hell he wouldn't beat 90's Foreman.

    Foreman of 72 would find it difficult hitting CURRENT Wilder . Foreman had worse technique than he did . The problem is the Foreman undersized guys who troubled him like Peralta would never make it past 7 rnds with Wilder .Now you can use all the Fraziers who had no style but come forward all you likwe ,but we are comparing a 6'7 fast power punching guy who fights off the backfoot not a past prime 5'11 guy who never defeated a power puncher . The olympic fighters he defeated weighed as low as 180 something pounds . You guys can create any picture you like but if Jimmy Young can beat and knock him down ,well ...do the math !Battered Ali ? oh boy ....lol
    Whos Moran?

    Exactly. The only real question here is whether Wilder lasts more than a round. Frankly, I doubt it.
