Wonder why George Foreman never got another shot?

Foreman was defeated psychologically after that fight. His aura of invincibility was gone as well as evident in his subsequent fights the few years afterwards. George eventually lost another fight at the hands of Jimmy Young.

I agree with this... He didn't fight for about 14 months after the Ali fight.

I don't agree with this... He went on a 5 fight win streak with 5 consecutive KO's (including a fight with Frazier) never getting past the 5th round before he lost that epic fight to Jimmy Young.

After the Jimmy Young loss he didn't fight again for about 10 years because of his "near death experience" from having heat stress and dehydration from the Jimmy Young fight in Puerto Rico. That's when he got the HOLY SPIRIT!!
