[Other Sport] RIP George Foreman

[Birdie Boy]

Quite incredible almost 20 years after the rumble in the jungle that he regained the heavyweight title at almost 46, probably that record as the oldest heavyweight champion will never be beaten.
He completely changed his image from a big bad ugly monster as Ali called him in his first stint as champion to the fan's favourite religious guy with the grill.

"I hit that man so hard I lifted Him clean off-a His feet... and when He came back down d'you know what He said..? He said 'Izzat all you got George..?' So I hit 'im again... & He said it again: 'Izzzzat all you got, sucker..?'... and after 8 Rounds, it WAS all I got..!". RIP Gentleman George Foreman.

RIP a wonderful champ and a good man. I remember seeing him interviewed a couple of times and he came over as a really nice articulate guy, unless you faced him in the ring. Genuinely one of THE great champions.

RIP, just a shame his legacy will be the grill and/or the 'dope who was roped' rather than anything he acheived
