Foreman was only ever stopped by Ali due to exhaustion. He took punches from Frazier, Ali, Lyle, Young, Bert Cooper, Cooney, Holyfield, Morrison, Moorer, and Briggs. Foreman was known for his strength so I don't see Wilder pushing him around and the jab he employed later in his career was a formidable weapon.
i don't think any of those guys hit as hard as wilder....i think part of the problem with this whole thread is people don't understand or respect how ridiculous wilder's power is, so lemme try and explain...in my life, i've never seen a figher who comes close to wilder in terms of sheer explosive power....the guy is damn near inhuman..he's a fkin monster.
wilder's power just isn't talked about enough...we hear a lotta hype about ggg's power and about loma's skill, etc., but wilder's power is greatly overlooked...to me, that power sets him apart from practically every hw in history...
other guys in history have been great power punchers: dempsey, baer, louis, liston, foreman, tyson, even ruddock, cooney, etc. but to me, wilder far surpasses all of them because not only does he have one punch, murderous, bone-shattering power that comes downward on his opponent, he's also very fast with his hands...foreman and liston were slow..tyson was fast, but he has short arms. wilder is incredibly strong with a 6-7 frame and the second longest reach of any hw champ in history.
so, i see lennox and bowe, for example, maybe being able to out-jab wilder...but with that strategy, they have no choice put themselves in range for his punches too...every second they're within punching range, because neither guy is a defensive wizard, they stand a chance of getting knocked cold.
