Foreman gets the decision he goes on to fight until the present day, increasing his rate of matches, very gradually facing less strenuous competition until by the present day he has over 100 new victories, coaxing old boxers out of retirement only to vanquish them. Holmes is startled by how effective & cagey he has become when they finally clash when both reaching retirement age, & Foreman fights on even terms for the first half until overwhelming Larry with ironically now-legendary levels of endurance, gets a TKO in the 12th. Tyson & he stage an epic slug fest, although Mike cannot hang with him fights bravely until vanquished late. Foreman becomes a much-loved Gatekeeper, but always facing men who can never quite get through. He is incredibly promiscuous with his praise, everyone is like the Next Coming of Christ, but none can defeat him. He extends his gig with HBO by pioneering color commentary.... This content is protected his fights. Mic in his shorts, he literally praises & encourages his opponents while talking to the public, although some suspect that he is messing with their head when he doles out superb advice to outbox him via speed & evasiveness, he is extremely sincere & none can execute it effectively enough. By 2010 he is facing the likes of decent ham & eggers. 2022 sees him somehow still beating those with mediocre records & new prospects with small but some promise. Half of his sons face him when coming of age-none can pass this Rite of Passage-Foreman is incredibly proud of them anyway. No Neck is among a few Internet stalkers that challenges him, getting his shot in 2011, only to take an insane amount of punishment. No round is competitive but N.N. continues a line of taunting challenges that would make Zaire Ali proud. Absorbing a Monstrous volume of shots, the lack of any visible neck somehow keeps him upright when most others fall. Although after invariably predicting Foreman will lose each time & becoming ridiculed as the worst forecaster ever, the loss is too much to bear & in March of 2012-when he joined this forum in real time-he is institutionalized. His actual alternative universe posts vary not at all from what occurred in our particular timeline.
George would take on Lennox in a big money fight and most likely get beaten up. If he should win that maybe he’d push for that Tyson fight to cash out on?
Doesn't bear thinking about. So George gets Joe Frazier and Lennox Lewis on his win ledger!!! That's uncanny.
No Neck if you are reading this I was just teasing in the post above when you went insane in an alternate universe because Foreman was the most dominant older fighter ever. If I was to extrapolate further, by the time George reached 100 he would be facing the toughest, youngest seniors out there, but still smokin' them all.
I think it would have largely depended on how big of a purse he was offered in his next fight and how high of a risk it would have been. But the days of him taking on anyone else were over with as that had started to fall off in recent years. After losing to Evander in 1991 he was basically only fighting about once a year
