R.I.P. Champ.

Amongst the few boxers who were loved inside and outside the ring (particularly in the later part of his career).

RIP George

RIP.

Does anyone know cause of death? He was in pretty good shape as far as I can tell. Wasn’t any story on him being sick recently.

A legend. A HW champion when champions were true champions. Sad day.

Fauci says it was COVID.

You COVID conspiracy theorists need to give it a break.

RIP. I’m no ****** but hearing him rebuff Lampley during the Prince Barrera fight made me smile. George was a true American.

"... you should just stick to commentating..."
Yes, I smiled as well when he said that. Videos of Barrera-Naseem I've seen have that quip removed. But it happened.

My kids only remember him as " that grill guy" Even though I showed them countless videos of his fights. Foreman was an inspiration to myself and many others. He showed that you are never too old to go after your dreams. Fly with God George.

What an epic career he had. Who would have thought he could win the heavyweight title again at over 40 years of age?

They don’t make them like Big George anymore.

RIP, champ.

Arguably or unarguably the most powerful puncher in boxing history.

God bless his soul.
