    RIP George. What a guy. What an incredible life story.

    He was the oldest heavyweight champion at 45 years old.

    Feel like he was still boxing on his 50’s in my 20’s

    There is an amazing documentary called When We Were Kings about this fight. I saw it in the theater years ago. It shows the man that Foreman was at that time. The defeat by Ali made him take a long break from boxing and in a sense, reinvent himself into the man we now remember. One of my all-time favorite documentaries. 10/10.

    You can watch it here:
