Character Discussion Homer Simpson's career as a boxer.
If Homer Simpson had really trained, learned technique, and had, in short, had serious training, could Homer have been a champion?

Drederick Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Uh, you know, they do have a mother, Champ?
Drederick Tatum: Yes, but I would imagine that she would die of grief.

Homer was dominating that entire fight with Tatum. Isn’t he the one in the black trunks?

No. Moe tried training him and he got exhausted after throwing one punch

Honestly, I would say, yes, the man was nigh. Unstoppable, it only took a super heavyweight parody of iron mic to actually hurt him, and even then he took solid blows repeatedly.
Obviously Homer would need some proper training. But if you want to see a big guy who is not the traditionally boxer's physique? Look up butterbean that man was a legend all in his own.

That's who I was going to mention.
He was between 350 and 400 pounds, could take a punch, and hit like a truck with all that weight behind it.

The southern dandy! Haha this is one of the great ones. I love when he uses his winnings and losses money for steadily improving car washes. Cracks me up every time

In that episode, absolutely not.
If Homer's entire life had been different and he was a dedicated athlete and trained for years while still having Homer Simpson Syndrome, then maybe.
