Frazier wasn't that gone until he got really old either. Which is more surprising because Frazier literally blocked punches with his face in some fights. Especially against George.
Really shows that everybody can be cool and be peaceful. If two of the baddest men in the world can sit together and be friends. You can too. Forgive yourself and others.
I had no idea these two are such bosom buddies after that epic boxing fight in Zaire. That's really good to see. Though Muhammad was the best heavyweight of his era, George will always be number one in my heart for his character and his gentle soul.
George has hinted, or suspected our maybe was deluding himself and making up an excuse . But he's said in many interviews he thinks his water was spiked in the fight with Ali . He could've just been searching for any excuse for the loss, but then you remember Ali's cornerman admitting he tampered with Ali's gloves in the Cooper fight so he could recover you have to wonder
@@laurarules3642 On a careful analysis of the knockout in Zaire, Ali tapped George in the back of the head on the ropes and that's likely what dazed him and put him down. Otherwise, it was clear that George was losing on points and style throughout. In my opinion, and I've seen this fight 5-6 times over the years, Ali just wore him down physically and mentally. The final physical putdown was just a formality. It was a shame that George 'gave' up after this epic reversal of fortune. There was clearly some character issues there that needed more than could be corrected on the heavy bag, dogging Foreman. "Only time can heal what reason cannot." Seneca
This is what I was thinking about when George said that he was trying to kill Ali. I bet he thought about how Ali did not hit him with a cheap shot while he was falling and vulnerable.
Totally agree when it comes to boxing but his personality and wit is also unmatched, he is just different..... he honest and frank but he still loved humanity.
Ali fue un fraude ,nunca peleó con buenos boxeadores , por qué su época no era la época dorada del boxeo ,en la era de Ali únicamente existían boxeadores mediocres por eso es que el fue el mejor de su época pero no pof que sea realmente un buen boxeador
@CarlosCcopa-rx5xs He is a fraud because there were no good boxers during his time?? Wasn't George Foreman himself a great boxer , then ? Perhaps the english translation is messed up
@@righteousmasculine well foreman didn't beat jimmy young to earn a rematch, remember at that time a contender had to earn a rematch with the champion,and your right Ali's management advised him that their was a age difference and that he was ageing,And remember foreman hadn't reached his prime yet,and most importantly foreman being a power puncher had a problem with fighters who are good counter punchers and sluggers along with those fighters that took him past 6 rounds equivalent to himself,For example,watch both the jimmy young fight and his fight versus Ron Lyle,foreman retired before the heavyweight championship title was abandoned by Muhammad Ali after the Leon spinks fight, Foreman would have defeated Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, and all of the top contenders at that time.
Ali was the only boxer that moved me to tears when he won, when he lost, when he retired, when he spoke and when he died. A true sports legend and an even better human being. George's second act was almost miraculous.
I never liked boxing but Muhammad Ali made me like boxing and when I knew what kinda *Human* he is, I just fell in love with the old timer # Salute # RiP
Big George beat Norton, Frazier, Lyle, Cooney, Moorer and is looked at by many as the hardest hitter ever. He was champion in the two best heavyweight decades ever in the 1970’s and 1990’s. Big George became the oldest heavyweight champ ever at 45 years old. I hope the movie coming out on him does this legend justice.
@@quantavie the 70’s and 90’s were the best decades for heavyweights. Go back and look at the names. Both of those decades you had 5-6 legit contenders
When he was Younger & was Champ he was one mean Surly dude! I believe it was because Liston was his idol back when he was coming up & was Listons Sparring Partner! Wasn't until he took that 10 yrs off & became friends with Ali that we were introduced to Nice George! He learned from the GOAT how to be genuinely nice & Marketed himself as such & Became Beloved Big George! So Ali Broke him in the Ring & then built him back up through his gift of friendship 🙏 🤲 🙏🥊🥊
It's great to hear Big George talk about his biggest rival with so much love. This is a lesson for us all. God bless you George and RIP champ, Muhammad Ali.
Great George is even greater now after the ring. His speeches are seasoned with love, gracious and respect. This man will be remembered long after he's gone, just like his friend Ali. Long live king George Forman.🙏
It’s funny you say that. I saw a t shirt the other day at the store that says “don’t piss off old people. The older we get, the less we think life in prison is a deterrent.”
That long break helped him. After the loss to Ali, he actually became a better man. His decision to enter the ring at 40+ and still win it is amazing. This guy is not celebrated enough. He is also one of the best boxers from his era who has a stable health after that heavy hitting. This man needs to be celebrated more. He should be in the conversation when people are comparing modern heavy weights to Ali. He should always be in the conversation. He had more fights than any boxer in his era. 76 fights with 5 losses. Ali had 56 fights with 5 losses. That alone is one hell of a win ratio. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Actually USA was the first wanted to kill M Ali by drafting him to Vietnam, he refusal and imprisonment saved his life. He was too good for an African American.
Actually broke my heart ❤️ 😢 at the time when he lost to Ali lol 😆 Big George was always my favorite boxer ever I remember when he had that guest appearance on Sanford and Son Then later on he was actually facing “The Real Deal” Hollyfield for the title 😃……
This is the God changed Foreman. The old Forman by his own words said when he was growing up and even older was the kind of guy you did not mess with. He said, "You know that guy in the neighborhood that everyone was scared of? I was that guy". Of course this Foreman is the best.
Xtians say that by adam and eve eating the fruit, they gained a sinful nature, and because God can't be around sin, they were fallen. However, in order for them to sin in the first place, they had to already have a sinful nature. If they didn't already have a sinful nature, they wouldn't have committed the first sin. How clear it is that xtianity is a fabricated lie satan constructed long after Jesus departed. How can they see all these signs yet remain ignorant! If we were to disclude the works of anonymous john, and false prophet paul, Bible says no such thing as original sin or the need for God to commit suicide for salvation. Repentence equals salvation He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people. 19“Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live. 20The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them. 21“But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. 22None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. 23Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? 24“But if a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die. 25“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust? 26If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed they will die. 27But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life.
@@glorysake not true, mike wasn’t even the hardest puncher of his own era. He was extremely fast and accurate which is what allowed him to steamroll opponents.
It’s fine, us 90s babies got Mike Tyson, the most feared heavyweight of all time, then we got Roy Jones Jr the most skilled middleweight of all time. Later on we got Mayweather the best defensive boxer of all time. I’ll take that trade off
@@ActionJacksonForever , yeah but who were their rivals??? We talkin Heavyweights mind you. We saw Ali, Frazier, Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Ernie Shavers, Sonny Liston. And they didn't DUCK each other for years. They all fought each other IN THEIR PRIME. Then let's not talk about the Welterweight Division. Sugar Ray, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Floyd Mayweather Sr. They all fought each other. Real rivalries. You never got that bro. Tyson, Jones, Mayweather were all you had. They had no rivals. That's the difference
it's crazy that so many boxers got personal with ali due to all the trash talks, but ended up loving and looked up to him. goes to show that muhammad ali was truly one of a kind, possibly the greatest human being to have ever lived.
The depth of a person's humanity and drive to be the best in the sport can many times be mistaken as having one yet lacking the other. The absolute best heavy weights of all time, showed both of them in the ring and out. This respect for one another, the love of a friendship built on that respect, is both heart warming and refreshing in a very lost and confused morality we encompass in today's society. Huge tip of the hat, George.
@@BetterMe981yea because he was able to overcome it, you bozo. You have to have a killer instinct in a sport where you literally can lose you life especially to be called the best
What I love most about this interview is the LOVE that this MAN has for his friend, Muhammad Ali. Such LOVE is Very rarely seen in such a pure form without distortion. Love it!
George got a massive heart. How humble can a man get to say that about someone that beat him n sent him into deep despair. RIP Ali the people's champion 💪🏿
So glad George found peace. You are one of my favorite boxers George. Muhammed Ali was a special man we were blessed with. His antics and Cosell razing was hilarious !
George Foreman has my utmost respect I'm not old enough to watch those fights live but I watch his and Ali's fights from the past so I could witness greatness
A proper interview with a real fighter who’s genuinely been there seen it done it retired came back seen it again been there again won it again He’s a legend amongst legends
@@kokito8sololakishiidd I believe George would have put him down, these so called heavy weights today are not built the same. They’re lazy, those fighters back then would fight 3 to 4 times a year if needed. These new guys are ducking each other, fighting for 5 different belts.
Prime GF in today's time would take most guys out then in a fantasy world add old George's patience with the Prime GF power he owns the division no question
TRUE TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN. MEANING, THAT WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, LOVE TOOK OVER AND REAL PEACE WITHIN BEGINS. THIS IS ONE OF ALI'S SPARRING PARTNERS! ALI.. TAUGHT AND LIVED WHAT HE SAID🙏🏿♾️🫂 LOVE ONE ANOTHER 🙌🏿 9/20/23
I love this. Women talk about emotional maturity, and this is what it actually is. They don’t want to hear that. Every girl in the world says “why is he with his friends” , “why doesn’t he talk to me like that”. Guess what men truly love their friends. I’m in love with all of my friends the pros the cons, all of it. Through relationships my friends are always there. I am a single dad and my friends have no kids, even their wives look out for me and my son. That’s the power of friendship,
@@younglove3362 bruh my friends wives are my kids aunts, because my best friends I’ve known since I was 9. So they would never have married the girl if we all weren’t kicking it. You need to get off the internet, and make some real friends of either sex. You sound immature and like someone who’s gained all there knowledge about relationships from others rather than the from your own experience.

Such LOVE is Very rarely seen in such a pure form without distortion.
Love it!
True. Sign of great men, human.
George got a massive heart. How humble can a man get to say that about someone that beat him n sent him into deep despair. RIP Ali the people's champion 💪🏿
Ali isn’t the people’s champ and never was
@@The_king567 He always was the people's champion. The People's, but the King's!
@@massi6528 nah nobody calls him that
@@The_king567Hes always been called that lol
@@skepchica not he hasn’t
So glad George found peace. You are one of my favorite boxers George. Muhammed Ali was a special man we were blessed with. His antics and Cosell razing was hilarious !
Foreman had the coldest death stare ever in the ring.
This is nice to see that they became friends. Especially when you see how much ali was insulting him before they fought
Everyone knows that Muhammad had big mouth and was somewhat child-liked but the man had a good heart.
Ali was one of the most vicious shit-talkers, but he himself said that he never held actual animosity - it’s all part of the game.
True it was a performance and nothing else
Ali insulted everyone. !! Part of his persona
That was all part of his strategy and gamesmanship against his opponents.
I LOVE to hear this!!
We all need people like George and Ali to help us grow as humans!!
Kids don't forget that Big George Foreman was one of the hardest punchers of his time.
Of all time.
Yeah. Ali was something else in person. Memories...
"Rumble Young Man Rumble"❤❤
George Foreman doing an Ali impression is the gift that keeps on giving 💯💯💯💯💯
God bless him to have found such a friendship
George Foreman is a humble and a true role model. The story of his life its so amazing!! God Bless you and your loved ones always my namesake!!
So is nobody gonna talk about how spot on that Ali impression was 🤣? Fr great to see the love between the champs, RIP “The Greatest” ❤🥊
Foreman: Muhammad, I want a rematch
Ali: You’re crazy
Foreman: How’s your wife?
Ali: She crazy. 😂🤣
How can you say a human ' Greatest'
Cant you see humans are not greatest.
Allah is the Greatest.
@@FactsTv-hi4ubwell we call our beloved Prophet the greatest man don't we? Same way we can call Muhammad Ali the greatest boxer can't we?
@@huntedguy9013 cant you see he wrote only 'The Greatest'. See the comment first
@@FactsTv-hi4ub well I'll give you that. Should've said it fully.
This is a tutorial in respect and love. This is what maturity, humility and love for others looks and sounds like.
George Foreman has my utmost respect I'm not old enough to watch those fights live but I watch his and Ali's fights from the past so I could witness greatness
I have developed deep respect for George and Ali.
Good men in their hearts.
A proper interview with a real fighter who’s genuinely been there seen it done it retired came back seen it again been there again won it again
He’s a legend amongst legends
Sportsmanship, honor, and more importantly, respect towards each other- I wish the world was like this.
I love Foreman’s humility.
May Allah bless him.
Thank god Mr Foreman is still here with us. The youth out here running wild need to listen to the wisdom encased all throughout this man!!!
George was such a beast. For his age still he's one hard hitting man. Bless Big George.
Just imagine GF in his prime today. He would kill every heavyweight today
Why you disrespecting Fury like that.. I don’t see nobody killing Tyson fury
@@kokito8sololakishiidd I believe George would have put him down, these so called heavy weights today are not built the same. They’re lazy, those fighters back then would fight 3 to 4 times a year if needed. These new guys are ducking each other, fighting for 5 different belts.
@Koukah Prime George Foreman would hurt your boy Fury that's facts 💯
@@kokito8sololaki is this a joke??
Prime GF in today's time would take most guys out then in a fantasy world add old George's patience with the Prime GF power he owns the division no question
This is valuable!!! This sort of guest builds our community w/the uplifting stories!
As we get older it’s easy to say who we fall in love with.
This people Had Class and Style and we're Well raised
TRUE
Appreciate him while he's still around. Love ya Big George 🥊
TRUE TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN. MEANING, THAT WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, LOVE TOOK OVER AND REAL PEACE WITHIN BEGINS. THIS IS ONE OF ALI'S SPARRING PARTNERS! ALI.. TAUGHT AND LIVED WHAT HE SAID🙏🏿♾️🫂 LOVE ONE ANOTHER 🙌🏿 9/20/23
You're a real man when you can say you fell in love with your enemy
George looks good!
"That was the gift of boxing" was epic
True friend ship. Found later in life.
this is so true and genuine. enemies to best friends.
I love this. Women talk about emotional maturity, and this is what it actually is. They don’t want to hear that. Every girl in the world says “why is he with his friends” , “why doesn’t he talk to me like that”.
Guess what men truly love their friends. I’m in love with all of my friends the pros the cons, all of it. Through relationships my friends are always there. I am a single dad and my friends have no kids, even their wives look out for me and my son. That’s the power of friendship,
If the wives look out for you and your kids then I feel sorry for the dudes that married them.....then again, no I don't.
@@younglove3362 bruh my friends wives are my kids aunts, because my best friends I’ve known since I was 9. So they would never have married the girl if we all weren’t kicking it. You need to get off the internet, and make some real friends of either sex. You sound immature and like someone who’s gained all there knowledge about relationships from others rather than the from your own experience.
@@younglove3362 You are a bitter fool full of darkness and hate.
Well said,I have friends that I love dearly.
When legends speak 🙏🏽
Thank you Mr. Foreman. I love this!!!
Thank you sooooo much Mr. Forman for sharing your art of fighting with us. God bless you.
