Far too young to have seen him fight in his prime or even later years but that era of boxing he was such a huge part of makes it so very hard to take the modern farce of boxing - particularly the heavyweight division, seriously. I would admittedly take it seriously if one of them was standing in front of me wanting to fight...would seriously leg it.

His fights against Frazier & Ali were stand out events in a golden age of boxing. Loved the documentary ‘When we were Kings’.
He came across as a good guy with a sense of humour - named all his five sons George.
RIP George.
Was just about old enough to remember the great fights with Norton , Frazier and Ali. A stunning era of boxing in comparison to the no marks dominating a Saudi controlled sport . RIP George .

One of my greatest celebrity encounters was being in a lift in a hotel in LA and George Foreman got in. I’d had a few and involuntarily said to my mate “George F-kin Foreman!”
He was a total gentleman. His first response was “now you’re not going to ask me for a grill are you?”

Those who know, know.. Foreman v Ron Lyle 1976. Probably ny favourite fight of all time. The golden era.
Molecular decimation.

What a brawl that was, I would say I remember it well, but I don't. Also Howard Cosell the voice of sports for me in the 60's and 70's. RIP George and here's hoping that your grill is never void of AAA beef.
When you reach the place beyond thoughts, the only thing you'll find is love and the only purpose of life becomes to ease the suffering of others.

Thanks for posting this Disco - I had forgotten about this fight, just finished watching it, totally unbelievable punching and ability to take punches from both men.
RIP George - you were a great fighter and a fantastic human being.
