Foreman yes, Bowe I'm not sure.
Riddick Bowe never fought power punchers AND Holyfield rocked him and knocked him down. I am not so sure that Bowe had the greatest power either.
I don't hate Bowe, I just think he had an awfully short prime (far shorter than Tyson's) and his resume is lacking big punchers which there was a plethora of in his era: Lewis, Rudduck, Morrison, Tua, Ibeabuchi, McCall, Bruno. Bowe never fought a big time power puncher, he avoided Lennox Lewis like the plague.
That said, who is sure that Wilder has such power? He didn't KO Stiverne and that's really the best guy he has fought.

Listen, if Tyson for example were fighting right now, he would be such a heavy favorite to beat everyone. Wilder is nowhere near that
Tyson lost against most of the top fighters he fought during his career.

Wlad, Fury, Luis Ortiz, Joshua, Parker, Ruiz, Browne, just off the top of my head.
Lets see him step up to a stiff challenge, instead of beating up on guys well past their prime.
I don't think he should ever have to fight Ortiz since he is a known steroid cheater.

Whyte has been caught too.

He tested positive after his KO of Lateef Kayode.
