I liked watching him do his later year fights, what a wallop he had.

RIP Legend...

I’ll never forget Jim Lampley saying the myth of George Foreman’s power has been exposed tonight about 5 seconds before he knocked Moorer out. Classic!

He came across as a very likeable fellow.

He had his ups and downs and then his back ups.

All 5 of his sons were given the same name ‘George’.
I think they settled on nicknames.
I guess Mrs. Foreman had no say in it.
George was a traditional man of the house.

RIP George!!

Last time I watched George in a program was the two season series "Better Late Than Never," featuring George, William Shatner, Henry Winkler, and Terry Bradshaw. Comedian Jeff Dye was their sidekick. The first season the guys went to Japan. The second season they went to Europe. George Foreman was a big fan of the singing group ABBA. When they were in Sweden, they met and performed with Björn Ulvaeus, founding member of the group.

Oh man, RIP George…you were a stalwart, a huge figure and an amazing man. This is sad, so sorry to lose him on this side. He will be with our Lord on the other side now.

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.
