    first Wilder has to fight the opposition level of Foreman to see if he can knock them out. We really do not know.. You have to fight at that superstar level to know if you can punch at that level. Wilder does not know yet.

    Let's look at opposition, is there anyone on Wilder's resume
    that Foreman would not have stopped? Foreman has beaten, hurt
    and stopped opponents that were at a far higher level
    than Wilder's opponents are.

    Other than the undefeated (prospects) Wilder has fought,
    everyone he's ever stopped has already been stopped in prior fights.
    He hasn't really fought anyone with a proven die hard, cast iron jaw
    except Ortiz.

    Next thread : "Who fought more bums, Foreman or Wilder?"

    It'll have a poll and everything so that we can solve this mystery once and for all. :rolleyes:

    In boxing, particularly heavyweight boxing, you generally have three types of power: generalising:
    Power that feels like a whip cracking on your chin - Wilder, Hearns, etc..
    Power that feels like someone is beating you up with a baseball bat - Joshua, Tyson etc..
    Power that feels like kids are dropping big stones on your head from a bridge above - Foreman, Browne etc..

    Different types of power. And let's be real, I don't think anyone has that Foreman type of power, he knocked out ice cold some of the best heavyweights from 2 different generations. I haven't seen a Wilder grill of late, and icing Szpilka with Scott and Stiverne taking dives don't really cut it.

    I'm with brother Nazim. Wilder is gifted. He addresses the Foreman point at 2:24.
