RIP to a giant of a man, not just in stature but in life

No more will thee be a rumble in the jungle

Odd fact, he had 12 children including 5 sons all of whom he named George!

Surprised this has had so little response. A great fighter an a great man.

RIP George.

Sad to hear this...he was one of the greatest of all time, a true superstar boxer and personality.

When he used to fight it was a world event...amazing man, he will be missed by a lot of people.

Sad news indeed.

There'll never be another George Foreman.

Foreman was genuinely terrifying in his early professional days. He destroyed Frazier and Norton. When he lost to Ali in Zaire in '74, he went into a deep depression. It's quite remarkable that he came to become the lovable, friendly teddy bear character later on. Of course, he could still have taken your head off with one punch.

A genuinely great person. Watched the Netflix film a few weeks ago, well worth a watch.

RIP George.
He was one of the great Heavyweights. I doubt any recent fighters would have had any chance against him in his prime.

"And suddenly Ali looks very tired indeed. In fact, Ali at times now looks as though he can hardly lift his arms up ... Oh, he's got him with a right hand! He's got him! Oh, you can't believe it – and he's doing his shuffle! And I don't think Foreman's going to get up ... he's trying to beat the count ... and he's out! Oh my God, he's won the title back at 32!"


Absolute legend.......all three of them really.

[Pupp]

A huge man; in every REPECT

Indeed, he was long before time I had no idea about the second half of his career and why until watching the movie.

Only just seen thius news.
Very sad. 76 is no age really.

I was an Ali fan but later grew to really appreciate George as the great man he was.
RIP.
