I was having a conversation with someone about this yesterday. Do you think the two are comparable in certain ways? Both have incredible power, while being a little crude in technique. I think Foreman would crush him, but the fight would be a war for however long it lasted.

They both are candidates for the hardest punch ever. Both have very good chins as well. Both far from being defensive wizards. Wilder has a batter jab, he has some skills of jabbing and moving and this kind of skills would be very important for him in a Foreman matchup, because Foreman was much stronger physically and it's the worst idea ever to trade and struggle with such guy inside. However, Wilder isn't that good in rational boxing for such a relentless aggressor, that Forman was. George could get to Wilder and crush him and he could do it quite early. So, Wilder shouldn't wait with placing his right hand between jabs. Anyway, I wouldn't bet on Deontay in such matchup. Forman by KO.
