LOL! That's nice, George. Keep living in your dream world. I'm sure the lion was terrified by you charging at it... I'd venture to say probably 85% of the stories Foreman tells are completely made up. He's one of the most full of shit people in the sport's history. If a lion intended to kill George Foreman, trust me, there's not a goddamn thing George could do about. Foreman could hit a lion full force with the same uppercut that lifted Frazier off the canvas, and the lion would walk through it like it had been tapped by a 3-year-old.
The interviewer should have responded "Your track record of beating anything in Africa isn't too good."
"Ya know, my good friend George Foreman was treated very very unfairly in that shithole Zaire. Very unfairly. Ali, a Muslim, why was even allowed back in our country? Sad!"
Might be true. Theres a video on the net of some drunk idiot charging an elephant, which are very aggressive creature, and the elephant running away. I could see the lion be scared of georges, even if he would obviously kill him rather easily
Foreman had zero defense and sounds great. James Toney had great defense and sounds like he's from a different planet.
I once subdued a full grown male grizzly when he got outta line, you typist. Guys in River Oaks can vouch for this. Dont fuck with me, Gladys.
Having a pet lion or tiger is rather unwise. Those cats are so powerful and fast they can kill you while they just having fun and playing. In addition to that they can “switch” on a dime and just view you as lunch one day.
Not to mention, it is rather unwise since it is practically animal torture to keep a tiger that likes to walk miles in a day locked up into a tiny cage. No wonder they get pissed at times
