Didnt Norton have a 'Crab' Defence too? Oh and they used to say Chuvallo 'had one hell of a Chin'.
I think stylewise young Foreman would be all over the old man at the start. Not a brutal beat down by anymeans but the raw aggression and edge in speed and conditioning would make young Foreman look the boss.
Foreman of the 70's would start to look terrible from around the 6th. With old boy having more success in bossing the youngn' around, soring with a few jolting rights. However, the old boy would be a spent force by about the 10th. Exhusted by the previous rounds of physical jockying.
This fight would be an ugly mess of swinging arms, pushing and shoving and bulldozing but the younger Foreman would have enough in the tank to regain some form of control by the championship rounds.
