Wilder vs 1974 George Foreman

Wilder would have no chance. He would be obliterated and quickly. George had an iron chin and tremendous will to win. Foreman would corner Wilder within the first minute and the bout would end soon after.

 

It was very true that prime Foreman had a stamina issue BECAUSE he was an extremely fast starter. He burnt himself out by going all out for the KO from the opening bell.

Once he lost to Ali Clansey slowed him down. This is the Foreman you see in his second coming starting in 75 AND it’s the George that came back ten years later more or less.

 

And Doctors 45 years ago advised patients to smoke to clear a stuffy cold.

 

And you’re wrong again.

 

I say 1974 George Foreman. Remember Foreman used to spar with Sonny Liston, before Sonny's demise. In 1974, Big George stopped the Jaw Busting Ken Norton in 2 rounds, in Caracas, Venezuela, on March 26th. Foreman had Norton falling all over the place, this after taking Norton's best. The fighters will exchange, but George just hits too hard for Wilder, Foreman by KO, in round 4

 

I don't think Wilder's right hand is particular far in force from George's (though I think Deontay's like Earnie's was more velocity-driven rather than pure brute strength).

George might go down (though Deontay sure could use a jab to set up). But I think he'd beat Deontay...I just don't think Wilder's chin has ever been considered suspect. It might be a decision victory for George (though it's hard to imagine prime George going the distance lol)
