    I'm not sure about old Foreman, but fortunately that version isn't the topic of this thread.

    You indeed may be right about old Foreman destroying Wilder as well.

    The Young George Foreman would have destroyed Wilder, like an African lion would a gazelle.

    I think to be fair, Wilder could put up some resistance because he definitely has the power to hurt Foreman if he lands clean. No one would be trying to out box the other, this is a shootout from the word go. Even Lyle started off boxing against Foreman . But that said, I do think Foreman ends it early.

    I'm on the fence about whether Wilder would beat Lyle and honestly, I do favor Lyle. But not as much as I favor Foreman to do it.
