Would George Foreman have dominated the 1980'2 heavyweight division

Foreman beats the weak chinned Tate.
He crushes Weaver like Bonecrusher did.
He ko's Berbick.
He loses to Holmes.
He destroys Cooney.
Foreman deats Page.
Foreman KO's Snipes
Foreman KO's Coetzee.
Foreman gets decisioned by Withersoon

BY then he is getting older and subject to upset or loss ...

 

If Tyson was afraid of the older 40 plus year old Foreman then why wouldnt the younger early 30s Foreman lose to him? Larry Holmes wanted no part of Foreman back in the late 70s despite his claims today. Foreman would of ruled the 80s

 

I don't know if Foreman would have ruled the 80's, but he would have provided some wicked contests against Holmes, Bonecrusher, Weaver, Cooney,Tubbs and the Tates.

Definitely Big George would be the top heavyweight in terms of overall power and he'd still be at the top even when Tyson came around in 1985.

If he could get past Larry Holmes' boxing ability, George probably could have held the title for a couple of years in the early 80's.

 

Sounds like a reasonably well thought out career track. I don't know if it would quite pan out that way, it's certainly doable. I also think that he might have picked up a few fights along the way against other names like Bugner, Tillis, Shavers, and perhaps even Cobb. Weather or not he'd get as many signature paydays like the ones you listed is subject to question, as politcs and shady matchmaking in the 80's often ****ed up the materialization of good fights, but I think the outcomes are plausible.

 

He would've beaten most of the fighters except Holmes.Page had the skills and potential to beat Foreman, but not the strength or dedication.

 

If not ROBBED VS Young....Foreman Would have ruled (when he got teh belts back) until 1991 when he Lose in WAR with Holyfeild. from there....basicaly same things happen as real life - including winning World title in 1994 VS Mikey Moorer
