The Moorer fight was one of my greatest sports memories as a kid. Everybody wants to see the old bull take out the young gun. Plus the Foreman grill got me through college. Dude will be missed.

Who else could say they won a gold medal and had two championship careers separated by 10 years. An unparalleled great of the sport.

I remember when I was a kid, the first time I saw George Foreman was his picture on the box of his grill.
Later when I got into boxing I was like, "Wait the guy who sells grills was one of the scariest boxers ever?"

I've owned several of his grills over the years. They've been around for 31 years and are still going strong.

Within the last 15 years Frazier (67), Ali (74) & Foreman (76) all passed away. Sad.

George was kind of part of my life. When I was really young I heard stories from my dad about how monstrous he really was and I devoured the dvd documentary with the Ali fight. Saw that about 20 times.

Saw him fight when he was older and was impressed at how good he was at his age. Wished I could have see him live in his prime

Then his run in hbo with jim and Larry was the best. By far my favorite team. And then I bought a few of his grills and made many shitty, dry steaks at my house, my room, the beach, outside, etc…

It just feels like George has always been there with me throughout my life.

Was he sick?

A legend of both Boxing and culinary invention...... I lived off the Foreman grill in college

He's a legend. I still use his grill once a week.
