    RIP.

    George truly reinvented himself and achieved a feat that will never be duplicated when he won the title again at 45.

    This one bothers me. Big George had the most remarkable comeback story of all-time.

    Hide the news from Jake, and closely monitor George's burial ground for the next few months.

    Never knew he was ill. 76 is no age for a man of his size and fitness. Maybe his weight had gotten high again. There's none of them left now bar Chuvalo, I think.

    When I read your post I saw "live forever" but in the context of George Foreman I simply read "liver".

    Chuvalo is still around. Ron Stander too. Which is fucking amazing when you think about it. The two slowest most cut prone guys of them all.

    Ali
    Norton
    Frazier
    LeDoux
    Quarry (Quarry is dead 27 years)
    Lyle
    Foreman

    all gone now.

    Replaced by Zhang and DuBois lol

    Edit: Ron Stander is dead too.

    So Chuvalo it is.

    I'm waiting for the WBC to bring out their new "Longevity Belt" with Chuvalo as "Emeritus" champ.

    Rest in power Big George!
