I'm no longer convinced that a 1974 George Foreman would just plow through Wilder after last night

I just disagree. Wilder, Lyle, and Shavers all hit very hard. But, Shavers and Lyle know how to box and set people up for those punches. Wilder doesn't. His boxing skills 9or lack thereof) are painful to watch. He does so many things wrong. And, Until Ortiz stopped punching, Wilder landed very few meaningful blows as a result. George would physically manhandle Wilder up close (something Ortiz never even attempted to do for some unknown reason) and pummel him with both hands from the outside. Even George's jab is likely to hurt Wilder quite a bit. And George's chin is certainly strong enough to sustain the occasional lucky punch that Wilder might land.

I'd favor Foreman to end up with a highlight reel KO over Wilder, but I do think Wilder could cause an upset and he'd put up stiff resistance. Foreman would be pretty sloppy with his defense and this would be a shootout of epic proportions
