    If Foreman beat Holyfield by KO in '91, (not out of the question if he baited him into a brawl) what would his heavyweight reign as champ looked like? I think by '93-94 Foreman was starting to look really past it, but perhaps he could have beat some top contenders prior to that.

    He loses his first defense to Mike Tyson on October 31, 1991.

    He meets cooper in a rematch, Cooper actually goes a few rounds more but gets stopped in the sixth. He then meets holmes. It's a tight decision but foreman gets the win. Next up is Michael dokes who gets kod in 2. Riddick bowe then takes him on. In his best performance bowe pounds out a unanimous Dec. They rematch a year later where a sloppy over confident bowe loses by split decision but foreman s face is battered. He then takes on Alex stewart who gives him a tough fight, once again foreman managed a split decision win. He ko's moored next after been behind. He then vacate s the wba and ibf belts and picks up the lineal ring magazine belt. He makes two successful defence s against axel and mercer before meeting tyson. In a fight of the decade tyson rocks George and has him crashing round the ring for 3 round s before foreman crack s a upper cut that drop s tyson in the 4 th. Tyson fails to come out for the round. Foreman then loses by majority decision to briggs and retires.
    Well it could happen...

    If Hlyfield had fought foreman as stupidly as he did Bowe, trying to outbang him and push him around Foreman WOULD have beat him. Tyson vs foreman would be really nasty, tyson would be favored but after that he'd probably be finished. Douglas Ruddockx2 and foreman in 1.5 years would really damage him. Bowe and Lennox would beat foreman. Foreman would beat Moorer, Holmes im not sure.
