    Morrison and Holyfield outboxed Foreman easily, but those two guys have way more better skills than Deontay Wilder. Wilder has a lot of speed, so do you think he could outbox 90s George Foreman? Or is George going to catch Wilders glass jaw?

    I don't think he has much less skills than Morrison. He could outbox Foreman the same way Morrison did.

    :patsch

    Morrison was very good technical fighter, Wilder only relies to his power and athleticism.

    Moorer was also very good technically and a better boxer than wilder, he was winning easy before he got clipped.

    Wilder will have to run all night. Big george won't chase him for long tho

    Wilder is a paper champion, any version of Foreman up to the mid 90's wipes the floor with him.

    Wilder doesnt even fight someone like Tony Thompson. I dunno how this fight could be made.

    Holyfield was a blown up cruiser who staggered foreman.

    WILDER is a full blown heavyweight and old George was a stationary target.

    This is somewhat true, Morrison had the ability to box a bit. Deontay Wilder is best summed up by one of Teddy Atlas's ****ogies, he's like a young kid driving a sports car, all the speed in the world but doesn't really have the skillset to control it properly. Old George was very good at setting traps. And if something big landed from George he'd hurt you, good chin or not.

    Foreman KO 7

    Wilder could possibly outbox 90''s Big George, but he could also end up like Moorer, winning the fight, but getting caught and KO'd

    hell no. Foreman would get to him eventually and when he did, it would be lights out. Foreman also had a granite chin.

    No. Foreman had real power and a solid chin. Wilder has neither and would get starched early. Very early.
