    What you raise here is in places absurd but, in any case, somewhat irrelevant, given the fact that Foreman's return was largely met with ridicule. It took close to three years and twenty bouts during the late '80s for Foreman to even begin being taken seriously. His '70s exploits lent very little credence to the perception of his comeback and his prospects for success, after being 10 years absent from the sport.

    It has been demonstrated during this thread, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Foreman was looking for a bout with Tyson. Added to this is the historical fact that Foreman did fight Holyfield, that Lewis and Bowe only became relevant in late '92 and that Foreman did retire after his loss to Morrison in June '93.

    Thus, related to these facts is the reasonable explanation and timeline provided to you as to why there was only a narrow window of opportunity for Foreman to fight either Bowe or Lewis and how the choices made by the respective camps of both of those fighters further reduced the chances of these bouts coming off.

    So facts have been put together to explain why certain fights didn't happen.
