RIP

A legend in combat sports for sure

God damn. The end of an icon and another reminder to all of us who grew up in his era (either one) that we're getting old.

What a life. Couldn't do it much bigger considering where he came from

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Damn, last time I saw him in relatively recent interview he looked very healthy.

Rest in peace to a legend. Hope him, Ali and Frazier can all hang out.

Hank Hill was a fan, RIP Foreman

R.I.P.

A true warrior is striding the golden streets of Heaven now.

He looked incredibly healthy the last time I saw him in a recent interview.

That sucks, rest in peace champ. We'll always have our memories of you.

I've never done it, but every time a celebrity dies I get the idea to go to eBay and buy their "buy now" autographs and flip them for triple next week

 

[Seano]

Damn,76 is not really THAT old.

Not my favorite fighter in history but you have to respect what he gave to the sport.

 

[William Huggins]

Well it's not my George Foreman that's died, just got it out of the cupboard and plugged it in...........



















RIP

One of my all time favourites. Hurt to see the headline, immediately came to Sherdog to pay my respects among those who value someone are legendary as big George.

RIP

At one point briefly trained a young Derrick Lewis

“He made that move [to MMA], and it was a wise move, but it was a heartbreaking move for me because he could have been a great boxer,” Foreman told ESPN.

Man, bad news.

Rest in Peace, sir.

I even liked your grill.

 

[Trabaho]

RIP for some reason I thought he was younger

One of the best memories I have about George Foreman is not of him as a boxer, but what did during the riot between Golota crew and Bowe crew. You can hear Foreman trying to make peace and stop the madness that was going in the ring and around it. He even protected Lampley and Merchant. Tells a lot about the man imo. What a great caring heart he had.

Thats so shitty. Big George is pound for pound one of the hardest punchers boxing has ever seen. He led a fascinating life and captured the championship again at an older age when many thought he couldnt. Legendary career.
The grills were cool too!

Rest well champ.
