What a Legend he was, the pinnacle of what defines a Heavyweight Champion in the boxing world. Retired to become a Preacher only to return and become the Heavyweight Champion again at the age of 45. He may have made some dumb decisions in his youth, but he quickly learned from them and became the epitome of a champion for the remainder of his life. Sad to hear of this tonight.
At 50 years old this is the stage of life you start losing the influences that molded your early years and early memories of your youth. Family or idols, you grew up knowing and loving/following them. Foreman outlasted the timestamp of age in his love of boxing, but showed even with a love for a somewhat violent career, you could have compassion and support for everyone else in the world. Sadly, we'll never see another follow in his footsteps. Hard work and ethics are going by the wayside.
Sad to hear of his death. Great boxer and inventor of the grill that bears his name. We wore out two grills over the years.
He was paid to endorse the grill, Hulk Hogan turned it down. George did not invent or have anything to do with making the grills.
