From a troubled youngster suppressing his genuine self to a wise old man who accomplished the impossible. ‘Big’ George Foreman’s life is the quintessential example of a success story. I hope you all enjoy my first documentary of the year and I hope to be far more active in 2023 than I was last year.

"Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand." - George Foreman

Not only did he win the HW title 20 years apart, he did it in two of the greatest eras of heavyweights.

Do people realize that George Foreman is the only Heavy Weight from the golden era of the greats that is still alive today. I hope Foreman stays healthy for many more years. Fraizer is gone, Norton is gone, Ali is gone, so many others all gone. I was lucky to be able to watch George Foreman in both of his careers.

George Foreman has the greatest story in combat sports, in my opinion! From such humble beginnings to olympic gold, and becoming heavyweight champion not once, but twice, in two completely different and incredibly challenging eras? Not to mention his growth in character? Simply incredible

I'm glad George found himself and a way out of that all consuming anger. What a glorious life.

Foreman has got to have the best character arc in all of boxing, simply built different both physically and mentally

No heavyweight boxer will ever win a major Wold title, 20 years apart again. That is one of the most historic feats in sports history.

When Ali dropped George Foreman I was 11 years old and I jumped up and yelled "Oh my God, he's got him!!" Nearly in tears. When George dropped Michael Moorer I was 31 and jumped up and yelled " Oh my God, he's got him!" Actually in tears. Both events were unbelieveable. Thanks George.

"A man may as well be dead without a dream." Love it! 🥊

These heavyweight history videos are so incredibly well-crafted, and this one is no exception.

As a man in my 40’s on the verge of the biggest victory of my life, George's story chokes me up. Reminds me that the long path of failure and and humiliation will pay if I don't stop fighting.

You don’t have to be black. You don’t have to be big. You don’t have to be a boxer. You don’t even have to be a Christian. You just have to be a human being for George Foreman to be an inspiration.

My favorite boxer alive. A true legend.

We love you George Foreman. Your name is cemented as a boxing legend 👊

Met him a couple times shooting commercials with him. What an easy guy to work with. First time I met him I saw the size of his hands and said “you hit people with those”… he laughed and let me put my hands, which are basic hands of a 6 foot guy palm to palm with him. I looked like a muppet compared to him 🤣. Just a sweetheart to work with. Did some infomercial stuff with him later introducing the GF Grill. (not sure if I can use product names). I wish they had an out-take reel of that. Such a hard time getting through it every day as we all laughed most of the time. It’s infectious. A genuinely nice man.

“Success is measured in growth of character” Spot on.

Watching him in the 2nd part of his career stop himself from hitting his opponents when he saw they were hurt is amazing. He really didn’t want to hurt anyone he wasn’t just saying that.

The man who conquered the war within. Can’t help but admire that

I'm always amazed when I see George Foreman. His punches look so effortless, as if he's not even trying. They don't LOOK heavy or painful. And then you see the strongest opponents just crumbling like sacks of potatoes and you realise how much power there must be in those arms.

Big George Foreman's reaction when he just realized he knocked out Michael Moorer to become the oldest heavyweight champion gives Me chills to this Day.

for me the part that makes him so spooky, is just the pure ease he does throws such powerful blows. He doesn't grunt, he doesn't even look like he's putting a lot of energy into it

A Big BIG MAN with an even BIGGER HEART. The greatest gift that George has shared with us is the inspiration of hope created by his conviction and faith.

The transformation George went through was absolutely inspiring. At 16:30 the transition from an angry young man to an altruistic, kind-hearted grown man is so powerful. "I hated him (Ali) and today I talk to him all the time. I love him now." This brought a tear to my eye. Truly moving and awesome.

"a man might as well be dead if he doesn't have a dream"- George Foreman. Damn that gave me chills

Young Foreman's body was just absolutely insane. It's crazy to be that lean and be that big and he seems pretty natural too. He didn't have the quintessential big traps and oversized head of a juicer. It's amazing that at an old age he added and mastered the jab to open up the body for those wide sweeping body punches.

Mr Foreman's second go as a boxer was very heart-warming. He came across as an amiable man; you can not root against him

What an incredible story. A man on the verge of destruction, but found himself and came back. That’s what makes him such a great champion.

Who doesn’t love George? His charisma and boxing skills were almost unsurpassed. The think that Foreman, Ali, Fraser were all competing the same era is legendary

You are still my Champ, Champ!!! Thank you for entertaining us I bought your Griller, Champ

What a legend! There will never be another George Foreman

One of,if not my favourite boxer. Even when i saw the trailer of his upcoming movie,i just teared up. Love Big George!

I met George after his first retirement when he was working as a greeter at a Las Vegas casino in the mid 1980's. He was such a nice guy and seemed completely happy. When I shook his hand, the thing I remember was that it was like shaking a catchers mit.

Absolute legend. This is my dude as a proud Houstonian.

this, this is what a legend looks like. from an unstoppable monster, being the champion of the world, to a broken man, to a pastor, and then... coming full circle to become the champion once again this time as a beloved figure !

I'm not a boxing fan and knew Foreman only by name, but I'm so glad youtube showed me this gem. What a story...

I remembered the Sports Illustrated cover story back then reading "Fat,Foolish and Fourty". I followed he's comeback closely, and he proved even then that he was the hardest puncher the heavy weight division have ever seen. The speed was no longer there, but his positive spirit and attitude was a true inspiration. a Boxing great, and an incredible human being.

The most fearsome beast ever on top of the Ring...yet the most amiable, likeable human being outside of it! Salute to MY greatest heavyweight boxer of all time! Great soul George!

I met George Foreman and he was so nice and calm and very down to earth. He loves his family and will leave an outstanding legacy.

Another masterpiece, keeping old school alive

"I am the danger I am the one to be afraid of.. definitely. I'm the one that could hit you and knock you unconcious" man I loved that! Not many fighters been to Hell and back! Man was just built different

Proof that a man can change, reinvent himself, and still be a champion in all aspects of life!

I have no words on how good this documentary is. Absolutely great work. 👍

That uppercut he threw against Gerry Cooney in round two was the best punch of his entire comeback.

My number 1 in my book. I admire this man. A wonderful human being. Much respect, and I am not even a boxer.😅

George 's story is one of inspiration to all people seeking to rise from small beginnings !!! A great man , yes , but ; a man with a truly loving heart for everyone !!!!

Started as a youthful offender, became a world champion boxer, found God and retired, dedicated his career earnings to helping others, came back to boxing at an age where most men retire, became champion AGAIN, retired with more money than before, continued helping people, endorsed a popular kitchen grill and then sold his stake for $300 million, still helps people. God bless him. One of the greatest in any sport.

God Bless you George

George Foreman's career is so interesting because he shows us how even when you achieve success and are seen as admirable for your abilities, you can still feel pressured by your environment to develop a persona that meets social expectations. It's tough to be someone you're not and its even harder to break out of a persona you've spent precious time building up. Life is about change and self-actualization. And I'm happy great boxers like Big George and Iron Mike were able to achieve that and more. Thanks for another great video Rainy, much love

I grew up with Foreman as the grill guy and he always seemed so charming and sweet but this documentary helped me realize he went through so much to become that man. He will go down as the one of most ferocious heavyweight champion to ever enter the ring because that footage of him in his prime looks like he was untouchable.

What a story! I wasn't expecting that complete change in his personality. I literally cried. His transformation is smtn from a book. Unbelievable! Raw gem 🔥🔥

This man is a blessing to the world. He changed his life and he becomes a role model and life saver.

“Beauty pageants are won on points, I knock people out” George Foreman

Imagine Holyfield and Foreman fighting at the same age.

Big George is hands down my favorite boxer of all time. He's a very kind and genuine dude. The fact that he can still articulate with eloquence showing literally zero effects from the sport is nothing short of a miracle. Great guy.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for what this man accomplished. God bless George/Family/Friends ...

Perhaps the greatest and most compelling come back in sporting history.

During and after this video I broke into true tears. He was a man with true heart, love, and respect..

Yeah he conquered alright. He conquered our hearts and minds with his charisma. Pretty amazing individual as I saw him fight when I was a young boy then later as an adult.

You can just tell he’s got a huge heart ❤️👌🇦🇺

I had a different prospective of him growing up. I always saw him on those Geroge Foreman Grill commercials. And he always came across as happy and friendly. While my dad would say…”he was some boxer!” And I never thought anything of it. As I gotten older. I learned more and more about him. And now after seeing his movie recently. It just goes to show you that anyone can rise from the ashes. And become something everyone could be proud of.

Ali did Foreman a tremendous favour . He enabled George to find himself and and come back a better person and a better fighter . I have massive respect for him.

The Most Powerful Boxer of all Time!!!

George and Ali are the greatest boxers of all times because they both came back as different fighters . Ali humbled George so they are one story.🥰

That walking uppercut against Cooney was so amazing.

God showed him twice how to be a man. Before boxing when he was at his lowest... he had to reach rock bottom in order to want to change. Then again when he lost to Ali. I'm glad that he eventually found God and showed the world His love.

Nothing but total respect 🙏 for this guy. He is an extraordinary human being.

One of the greatest a phoenix in a sense who rose from the ashes and found himself to become a champ again. Always one of my favorites in boxing

George might be considered even bigger than Ali in my opinion. Ali has shown the world how to take the path to victory enduring all downturns until reaching the top. George has shown the world that even when you are beaten and forced to bite the dust despite everybody think you are the best you can still find the path to enlighten your life and find happiness.

I just watched his moive on Netflix and I liked the moive! 10/10

People today don't realize how big a win Ali's defeat of Foreman was in the Rumble in the Jungle. At the time of the fight, Foreman seemed absolutely unbeatable: he was so big, so strong, and had just destroyed people before meeting Ali. When he beat Frazier, Foreman looked like a grown man beating up a little kid. He was Godzilla. Meanwhile, Ali was older, had suffered losses, and people were actually afraid that George would literally kill Muhammed or give him permanent brain damage. I was in sixth grade when they fought. Ali was always my favorite HW boxer, but I didn't think he had a chance. When I heard that Ali had knocked him out, I couldn't believe it.

A real hero a warrior and a gentleman. Total respect and love for big George 💚

A beautiful piece about a beautiful soul.. who just happens to be one of the most ferocious punchers we've seen.

A legacy carved in history . What a legend! There will never be another George Foreman.

These are the kind of life stories that just make you want to get up and cheer

George is great! My favorite match of his was against Ron Lyle. Both men just unloaded on each other with punches and George prevailed. It showed the kind of heart he had as a boxer. He didn't give up in this match and didn't give up on his dreams! Go George!! He makes a pretty darn good grill too! 🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍

I really do love theses documentaries, they're so well done. It's amazing how one can tell that George had change with just the expression on his face, two different persons. thank you for keeping the legends alive

Boxing were so much fun to watch

Like they said "A PERFECT END TO A FAIRYTALE " A beautiful evolution of a truly inspirational human being. A true hero❤

A legacy carved in history 🔥

These documentaries are outstanding 🥊

That first 2 minutes are pure motivation and storytelling at its best. Please don’t stop making videos 👊🏻

Foreman was a menace dude straight up called out Tyson

I liked George throughout his career, beginning with the Olympics. I hated it when he lost to Ali. To see him mature into the man who won the heavyweight crown the second time was a pleasure and a privilege.

This video was my first exposure to Foreman and that ending managed to get a tear out of me, what a wonderful story and what a Legendary fighter.

He didn't win fights.... he won hearts ❤️

"A man may as well be dead without a dream. You cannot live at the urging of other people." - George Foreman

Yes he deserves the respect 🙏🏾 He saw, He wanted & He CONQUERED the world.... What a LEGEND

I was a kid in high school when I watched George blow away Joe Frazier and Ken Norton, both inside of 2 rounds. I never saw such a big, scary dude morph into someone so likeable and at peace with himself. But I think he impressed me more than any other athlete in his post fight interview following his final fight. He had clearly won against Shannon Briggs, but the judges gave it to Briggs. Nonetheless, he seemed genuinely okay with it. "The judges said he won and I'm not gonna stand up here and cry about it. I congratulate the man and wish him all the best." It seemed to bother Larry Merchant more than George, and I couldn't get over how much of a class act he was. This happened right around the time Roberto Alomar spit on an umpire and Dennis Rodman kicked a cameraman and I thought, "This is how a role model behaves." Good video. I watched it during my lunch break.

Big respect for BIG GEORGE FOREMAN 💪🏽!!

He is such a nice guy it’s hard to believe he wasn’t liked so much when he was young.

How could you not love this guy. He was never my favorite fighter, but he is one of my favorite people of all time. God bless

“The trap was set George Foreman fell into it” Moments before George Forman got knocked down 11:15 “The trap was set Michael Moorer fell into it” Moments before Michael Moorer got knocked down 24:21

There will never be heavy weights like the guys from that era, and Forman was one the most powerful punchers ever even til date. He went from being a wicked and troubled soul to a God fearing man his story is incredible

Thank you for this, truly amazing. Love Big George!!!

The production level of this channel is the best on KZfaq by a mile. These documentaries do justice to these legendary warriors we idolise so much. Thank you

Amazing Big George. He really was two men in one life time. Easily was the best along side Fraizer, Tyson, Ali etc. ❤️

What a beautiful tribute 😢

Foreman was a absolutely terrifying unit of a man. Imagine fighting that dude

i've always heard about earnie shavers' hitting power, but i've never seen a man like george that could just hit through an opponents block and still land a decent blow. he's been through quite a life journey, and i'm pleased to see he seems at peace.
