Agreed, and he never ducked anyone. Fought and beat every single challenger. Unlike today where they all want millions but avoid fights that could be dangerous to their earnings potential.

He's looking good, I always liked Tyson, my favorite boxer was Sugar Ray Leonard, the fights with Roberto Duran were awesome
Like everything nowadays, just follow the money.

The fight didn't sit right with me, i reckon a ten years younger Tyson would have battered him

George Foreman: Heavyweight boxing legend dies aged 76
Foreman won his first world heavyweight championship in 1973 and lost it a year later to Muhammad Ali in the famous Rumble in the Jungle fight.
I remember watching some of his fights on TV as a kid, and if you grew up in the 70s you couldn't have escaped all the hype around his fight with Ali. He became quite humble and seemed like a nice guy. RIP George.
The film Big George Foreman is worth a watch.
I wonder if he'll be buried or cremated?
Too soon?
Seemed like a good old boy to me. R.I.P.
