These were all bouts that were to take place for some reason or another never materialized. What do you think the outcome would have been

Larry Holmes vs Gerrie Cooetzee (WBC/WBA Heavyweight Title 1984)
Mike Weaver vs Gerry Cooney (WBA HW Title 1982)
Muhammad Ali vs Big John Tate (WBA HW Title 1980)

I say:
Holmes TKO10 Coeztee
Cooney TKO6 Weaver
Tate W-15 Ali

Tate W-15 Ali
Holmes TKO 8 Coetzee (Holmes takes out Coetzee as soon as he tires)
Weaver TKO 10 Cooney (Cooney cracks under pressure and Weaver takes him out late)
Tate W 15 Ali (Tate was a fine boxer and Ali was beyond gone at this point; it was more of a winnable fight for Ali than the Holmes fight though)
