RIP Big George Foreman

Just seen on the news that George Foreman has sadly passed away at the age of 76.

What a legend, and absolute monster boxer in his day.

Rest in peace

Ah man, Just seen this on my FB feed.

Another legend gone! RIP.

RIP.

I once won £10 in a bet because the other person was confidently wrong that George Foreman was too old to win back the world heavyweight title.

RIP

Must have been sick of die in this 70's.

Hell of a guy, damned shame. RIP

An excellent boxer and a gentle giant out of the ring, RIP

I'd recommend this to anyone that fancies a laugh:

Better Late Than Never (TV series) - Wikipedia

Shame it only got two seasons, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and George came across as a genuinely nice bloke.

Better Late Than Never is an American reality travel show which aired on NBC and was produced by Universal Television (under its Universal Television Alternative name), in association with Storyline Entertainment.The series is an adaptation of the South Korean Grandpas Over Flowers series. The cast includes four "seasoned" North American celebrities William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman, and Terry Bradshaw, accompanied by younger comedian Jeff Dye, as they travel overseas, experiencing new cultures and checking off their bucket lists.

Is he getting buried, cremated or grilled?

Yeah that was brilliant, the casting was great as well. Even Jeff was brilliant in it.

Would have been great for a few more seasons.

RIP George.

RIP, big fan of his grills.

I remember the rumble in the jungle fight held in Zaire.

Great boxer, comeback king at 45 years old and all round good guy.

RIP. A lovely man in real life by all accounts.

This was him on the punchbag only 2 years ago aged 74 - assuming that the pan out is still him. He seemed so full of life and completely bad ass

Sad, I'm wondering what the cause of death was. He took allot of punishment in his second career. First career not so much, Ali stopped him but that was largely fatigue IMO

A terrific fighter, much respect for his achievement.

RIP.

Venali · 22 Mar 2025 at 20:04

Gone too soon, for sure. I thought he'd be around for a long time. RIP.

Shame there weren't more miles in his tank.

I thought he was older tbh.

I wonder how much money he made from his grill. Those were everywhere at one point and according to wiki he sold over 100 million of them!
