BIG GEORGE FOREMAN:
THE MIRACULOUS STORY OF THE ONCE AND FUTURE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
Sports Drama
April 28, 2023
Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World is based on the remarkable true story of one of the greatest comebacks of all time and the transformational power of second chances. Fueled by an impoverished childhood, Foreman channeled his anger into becoming an Olympic Gold medalist and World Heavyweight Champion, followed by a near-death experience that took him from the boxing ring to the pulpit. But when he sees his community struggling spiritually and financially, Foreman returns to the ring and makes history by reclaiming his title, becoming the oldest and most improbable World Heavyweight Boxing Champion ever. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker George Tillman Jr. from a story by Dan Gordon and Frank Baldwin & George Tillman Jr, and a screenplay by Baldwin & Tillman, the film stars Khris Davis (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Foreman and also stars Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker as Foreman’s trainer and mentor Doc Broadus.

This movie was simply marvelous😢. I read the book by Mr. Foreman, “God In My Corner” on numerous occasions. Salute Mr. Foreman. You’re the champion of God in and outside of the ring

Gonna have to rent this movie maybe buy. George is just one of all time hero’s. What a man. Already a devastating fighter but when he came back the world got to know the real George Foreman. Compassionate, wise, funny, CHARISMATIC and then some. And could still PUNCH. Love ya George👍❤️.

A friend of mine knew I liked boxing and was a fan of George, and he bought me this for my birthday. (71!) I have to say, I LOVE George Foreman!! He is one person who wanted to change, DID IT, and HELD ON TO THAT CHANGE. He never reverted to his dark side after doing this. That is as amazing as his boxing skill and power. May he continue to have a great life, and live as long as humanly possible. ❤

out of all the boxers, at least Forman came out of it with no injuries, and no brain damage. Ali came out his career with Parkinsons and slurred speech and fell to Leon sphinx.

Just watched it. Fantastic storytelling and had no idea about his powerful and impactful achievements and external and internal struggles he went through in boxing and to where he is today. A phenomenal story and extremely uplifting. Will be watching this again. He is a wonderful role model and someone to look up to.Will be searching for more things on him.

I am so glad to hear him talk about that ronnie lyle fight, that is to this day the best boxing match i have ever seen. George was on his comback after the ali loss and met that man. Rip ronnie.

I like how this movie briefly showed his thug past and also the fact he was cheating on his women with another women Didn’t sugarcoat those details before he gave his life to god George is a sincere person and I respect that also I met him once

He took some hits. But they were few and far between. In his second career George was just so big and strong he really couldn’t be hurt. Beat up a couple times but never really hurt.

Asking him about Ali was a sucka move and showed how weak u are as a journalist. ASK HIM ABOUT HIM! DO SOME RESEARCH! This reminds me of ppl always asking about 2pac. We can love Pac and big also Ali and GF. We wanna know about GF not Ali. SMH. This dude 🙄 name dropped a library of other ppl. We know nothing more of GF. Get it together

@blacktreemedia Жыл бұрын

so was putting the rumble in the jungle as the central point of the movie "weak"? As a journalist I am covering the movie that was created, the scene that i shared in the interview was from The Rumble In The Jungle, why would it not be a relevant question. This is a weak criticism at best.

This man is a cultural sports historic icon alone and u filled in your black of potent journalism with name dropping. I challenge u to go back and omit this fillers and see if this excuse for an interview was at all that. IM SURE U CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. Try some humility and challenge yourself as well the elevator method works well. I do it in my head every time.. Try a pitch in your mind to any important figure in your life.

You think you had some affect on Comedy Hype because of your criticism? You really are full of yourself. I take a lot of criticism, but to say that I should not talk about what is in a movie while talking about a movie because it offends you is a little under my pay grade to make any adjustments for. It is actually a moronic criticism. But thank you for watching, keep on changing youtube one channel at a time 😂

George is the 🐐 but he’s way too humble how he speaks from how he actually was. He’s a beast and if all those things didn’t happen to him in Zaire he would’ve been the longest most devastating heavyweight champion the world had ever seen
