Honestly, with all the brain issues from hits, he had a pretty good run to 76. RIP George, I still use your grill every so often

A great fighter and a good salesman.

It has been estimated by boxing experts that he was one of the hardest punchers in boxing history.

He only lost 5 fights out of his 81 professional fights, with 76 wins and 68 knockouts. His only loss by knockout was against Muhammad Ali ( who did his now well-known rope-a-dope on George ) in the rumble-in-the-jungle. The rest, he lost by close decisions. He also made boxing history by becoming the oldest heavyweight champion by defeating Michael Moorer ( George was 45 ).

I never expected him to be rich and successful after his boxing career was over, but he surprised me.

Fun fact: Foreman has a total of 12 children—five sons and seven daughters. Interestingly, all of his sons share the same name: George.

To avoid confusion, each son has a unique nickname, such as George Jr., George III (”Monk”), George IV (”Big Wheel”), George V (”Red”), and George VI (”Little Joey”).

RIP. You had a wonderful life.

Good boxer.

His grill made him a multi-millionaire.

I liked him. He got a raw deal when that woman accused him of rape to shake him down. It’s clever how he named all of his many sons “George Forman.” I think of him every time I make cheese panini in my George Forman grill. A true American original, up from nothing to worldwide recognition. RIP
