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.

​@@kareemweaver7935I dunno. I would say it is easier to carry the momentum from heavy arms and heavy torso. That's where the power is coming from. The hand is just the end product. Some fighters have big hands and don't hit hard, Some have smaller hands and hit extremly hard. I also believe a lot has to do with wrists and forearms to take the heavy impacts. Also tied with training. I think what's really deceiving with foreman is he is so large, what appears to be effortless to us is raw poweforearms in. That is a mass thing from torso and forarms and the wrist being strong to stop buckling under impact.

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.

This was the '70's, and he was so accurate.

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.

As a lifelong boxing fan, also one of the things that sadly has pushed me away from watching the sport (and mma/ other contact sports). Foreman was my first favorite fighter though so had to click this video.

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.🥰

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

Not perhaps.. it’s the greatest and most compelling comeback ever!!❤

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.

Same. I knew him from the grills (we even had one for a while) and the cameos of him and his daughter in King Of The Hill. I knew Foreman was a punching powerhouse but knew nothing of his past.

Foreman was a menace dude straight up called out Tyson

He remains a LEGEND !!! ... 😊👍

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 absolutely love the way George describes knocking out Moore. "Not wanting to wail on him till he fell over, I instead pulled my right" Even in victory, George was being merciful. He only gave Moore a taste of the raw power Big George Foreman had.

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

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

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.

@@qdakid7776 Foreman is the first to say Ali is the greatest and he is the one who always get eyes wet when talking of the greatest. The point is that if we look from the perspective of being an "icon" what has achieved Foreman is so unique that you could even consider the option he has achieved more even than the undisputed greatest who is Muhammed Ali. A true champions should always set an example and teach a lesson in my opinion. Hence I would say that both of them are true champions

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.

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.

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

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! 🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍

@@joenobody5913ol the rope a dope was the ultimate strategic move. Basically Ali using his own advantages and foremen’s punching power against him. Also Fraziers life wasn’t ruined; he was a world champ and even had his son become a boxer. You also might want to say why Ali wasn’t allowed to fight. Because he refused to fight in a illegal war in the process losing his prime boxing years and facing jail time. That type of integrity by athletes doesn’t even exist today.

Imagine Holyfield and Foreman fighting at the same age.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Absolutely an amazing man 😊

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.
