    Seriously loved this dude's personality. Went from a mean mugging tough guy to a teddy bear everybody loved. That doesn't happen often. R.I.P. big man.

    Local legend

    He became so famous outside of boxing as a kid I knew of him as just a personality. Didn't even realize he was known for boxing until a little later.

    They don’t make them like they used to… Foreman lived a life many would dream of and is an incredible story. RIP Legend

    My simple personal experience with George Foreman. I was waiting for my wifes flight to arrive at IAH when I saw George Foreman with his entourage. I'm not the fanboy type and wasn't going to approach or bother him. At that moment we made eye contact, I nodded, he nodded back. Good enough for me to have a cool memory a couple decades later.

    Boxing legend
    Sports legend
    Houston legend

    His fist size is available to see at a Buffalo Wild Wings near you. He also spread his seed abundantly.
