    So let’s say foreman still has that life changing experience after Jimmy young beat him but instead of retiring he takes time off and then continues boxing, if foreman continues boxing but was at piece with himself like he said he was after the loss there’s no doubt I have that he wouldn’t have just dominated the division in the 80’s and reclaimed his belt against a older ali if he came back and grew into being a more skilled fighter I don’t think anyone from the 80’s and late 70’s would’ve been a challenge I think he’d beat Holmes even when he was old but if foreman got more skilled and less angry after the young fight while still having his younger attributes he’d destroy Holmes nobody is a threat to him unless he stayed champ until he was 40 and had to face a prime Mike Tyson but even then he’s a nightmare matchup for Mike, funny though in this hypothetical foreman would’ve still fought cooney lol
