Not a lot of people can go from appearing so terrifying when you get to so damn kind and lovable.
Godspeed to a great one.

When so many black athletes protested on the podium in 1968, George celebrated being an American. TKO for the gold medal over a Russian.

I’ve never met a person who ever had anything bad to say about George…


He was an angry, surly a-hole in his younger days. Even his boxing days. He COMPLETELY turned that around as he got older

Highly recommended the Rumble in the Jungle podcast for anyone interested in the golden age of Heavyweight Boxing . The Ali/Frazier/Foreman years.

A poster over on the MSB made a great point:

George was a bad man in the ring. RIP

His obituary would take up a whole newspaper page just for the kids and grandkids.
