My mom and step-dad had a similar experience, they were arguing over my step-dad's drinking, they were in the kitchen going back in forth all of a sudden, they said the room filled up with fog all around them and all they could see were themselves, they told me they felt an incredible love surround them and they were no longer mad and crying, the fog disappeared and they felt really peaceful. They knew God was real then.

When I look around I see what can only be creation and when I look inside I see a soul that has to come from God.

When you watch the fight you see Ali talking. Watch it. Amazing. Ali just has tht voice. When George says he was beating Ali for like 6 rounds and Ali fell on his shoulder in the 7th & said "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT GEORGE!" thts goosebumps. Love it!! Love from Scotland xx ✌👌❤
+Richard Kardos Its important to be a good person, nice to everyone, funny, humble, make a change, make people smile when you are a champion like Ali. But when you're not a champion no one cares about you anyways or about if you are a nice guy or not
Some times it takes hitting rock bottom for God to get your attention.Foreman Lives in Humble Texas close to where I do. I had the pleasure of meeting him at my church. Great guy.
Veronon Parker cool I'd love to meet him and as a born again believer in Jesus Christ I also believe what he is saying. God has done far stranger things than what he says
I am an atheist... but I love this guy... its always heartwarming to see Ali, George and Frazier's interview... I think I've watched it a 100 times now... still the best...
Hahahahaa God loves irony 😂 Atheism is God playing a prank on Itself lol getting It to believe It isnt God. Those 3 men are legends! Frazier asked God to let him kill Ali thats why he lost 2/3 of their fights and died before Ali and Foreman won back the title in the same shorts he lost the title to Ali in. Becoming oldest heavyweight champ a month after i was born :) with God all things are possible! God is faith, hope, and love. You cant believe in yourself without beliving in a higher power but thats just my opinion 😇
I guess some people don't understand what goes on in the minds of true warriors. Whatever your personal beliefs, you could stand to learn from someone like George Foreman. He not only won the heavyweight championship of the world in his prime, he had the courage, fortitude, faith, and vision to reclaim it long after his physical skills were diminished. If you compare yourself to him and declare yourself the better man, it's likely you are deluding yourself.
As tough as it is I think it takes these kind of extreme experiences to really make a life. Most of us never really live and consequently never really learn. "I don't want your money I want you". Thanks for sharing George.
College Senior Life I don't really know man...I guess I am just a bit skeptical as a lot of crack pots have made similar claims....Foreman clearly had his ego shattered after losing his fight with Ali....I greatly admired the guy as a fighter and no doubt he has really become humble...I am just wary of people who wear the same brand as Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen ;)
Joe Davola Understandable, especially when I am skeptical of when you're about to die, your life flashes before your eyes when scientifically its just you mind having the last seven minutes of happy thoughts and what ifs. And when people come back to life, they have a story to tell. But for someone like Foreman, who's story hasn't changed at all, not one word, I believe him. Its not what he said, its the consistency to me.
J. Payne It's not that complicated of a story to remain consistent though....I guess I also struggle with the idea that Jesus condones a sport where you bash each others brains in....I love boxing but it sounds a bit odd. I would also think a religious experience like that would perhaps make you 110% committed to preaching and being involved in Christ like activities...rather than return to the ring.
I remember when the RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE happened I was 17. I thought George Foreman would win after I saw what he did to Joe Frazier. But I'm glad He saw the light of the Spirit of God and He helped others and became a Preacher and THEN BIG GEORGE FOREMAN became the Heavyweight Champion of the World AGAIN, I was and am so happy for him. Hey Man I bought 1 of your Grills in the 80s. God Bless You Mr Foreman..I always liked your personality your a good human being 🙏💪🇺🇲🤟🤙
Faith will always guide you I wanted to die when my daughter took her life at 21 thant emphasis is what kept me alive I miss her everyday but I must continue her legacy .X
George Foreman is indeed a great champ , great human being and you can't get any more gracious than BIG George , I loved this man , truly I do , inspirational !
George Foreman has represented something good to me all my life. I remember that he came from a horrible family situation. When I was young I remember the two black athletes with their fists up in the air making a protest statement against the United States. Not George Foreman! In the 1968 Olympics George Foreman carried a little America Flag that he proudly waved. There are very few Heavyweight boxers that have have fought 81 professional fights with 76 wins 68 by Knock Out and had only 5 losses. Then there is George Foreman's testimony here about knowing Jesus Christ as his God. Then there is the George Foreman grill, true American Entrepreneurship. There are very few people like him! God Bless!
Good clip...Glad that big George Foreman had a real conversion & experience of God's presence...GOD is real, in spite of the doubting of many in this world. Hope & pray that as many people will acknowledge & receive HIM into their hearts...Thanks for uploading this clip!
Wow... Foreman was, is, and will always be a great man. Fighting Ali only proves that fact. So glad he came back to boxing late in his career and once again became the Heavy Weight Champion of the world. The world is a better place thanks to you Mr. Foreman!
On his journey, Saul approached Damascus. Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. [Shine bright light - on teacher, not students.] He fell to the ground. He heard a voice speak to him. “Saul! Saul!” the voice said. “Why are you opposing me?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus,” He replied. “I am the one you are opposing. Now get up and go into the city. There you will be told what you must do.” [Turn light off.] The men traveling with Saul stood there. They weren’t able to speak. They had heard the sound. But they didn’t see anyone. Saul got up from the ground. He opened his eyes, but he couldn’t see. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind. He didn’t eat or drink anything. - Acts 9:3-9 No drugs
As an atheist, I still appreciate it. George hit his rock bottom and climbed back up. Any alcoholic or drug addict will tell you the same, religion or not. He was reborn-in that his life had new purpose. Still would not want to go a round with him.
Thank You, and not in the Congo with Ali loving dictator and country at 3am local time. Rumble in Jungle was bullshit. Foreman looked almost drugged. George would have killed him next time. In USA with normal water, food and all :)
MrAitraining I wouldn't go that far to call it bullshit, Ali shown us that morning class A of boxing and the way it is done. Foreman still up to this day claiming his manager Dick Sadler put some sort of drugs in his drinking water, could be true. he fired him after that match. Ali stipulated for rematch that Foreman takes Sadler back that sounded fishy. by the way it wasn't in Congo rather Zaire.
Ken Norton Zaire changed name from congo or vice versa in 1971. Same place. whatever on that. Whole thing seemed messed up, but George gives Ali props. Of course Ali never gave anyone props.
Ken Norton I heard Ali say it was his manager who gets the final say on who Ali fought but i really can't imagine him outright ducking Foreman. I think the Foreman fight would have been a much easier choice for Ali then the picking the Frazier and Norton fights so it does not make sense to duck Foreman. Ali showed superior speed and accuracy and we all know Foreman lacked Stamina. Young beat Foreman and once again exposed his lack of stamina and also Young was a fighter had decent footwork and moved quite and would not exchange so much with Foreman, i think guys like Young and Ali was a big threat to Foreman. I think most would agree Ali would have won even in a rematch not just because of style but because Foreman was mentally broken and was deeply depressed and that is not the state of mind you need when facing Ali
cast 30 There is no doubt Ali is way faster than Foreman and has more stamina, however Foreman realized he was tricked into that ropa dope and he would've fought the rematch differently this worried Ali ,Foreman alot stronger and can take out Ali in one blow he has got those clubbing punches where he sweeps a person out of his feet, plus he has the ability to take big punches ,he would just stands in front of you wide open punch me all you want I am still going to knock you out, and don't forget for rematch he has no thing to lose and that could be more dangerous Ali knew that. I am pretty sure Ali was worried about a rematch he certainly ducked him.
He was one of the few that really loved what he was doing. Giving his best in this sport,it was his life a real figher. So i understand the stress he felt after this defeat.
I do not know what to make of this. I am not a religious man, by any stretch. I love George, and he is not anywhere near eloquent... He did more to sell me on divine intervention/God than anything I have heard in my life. That shit moved me.
David F It's from a Film called Facing Ali, and this is part of his testimony. He does talk about Ali but it's not included for some odd reason in this video
Watching Ali beat George was amazing because of what an accomplishment it was but seeing what a great man George became makes me cheer less when he goes down.
All who don't believe in God now, you will believe in him when he judges you on the day of judgement. You don't have to believe in fire, but it will still burn you. Your unbelief doesn't change the reality of God.
I know George and let me tell you, he was a very very angry mean soul prior to his conversion. Look at what happened to George after his astounding experience. Many will doubt what happened to George just like those that doubted what happened to the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. A person only has to look at what he was and what he became after God reached into His soul and converted his life to see what a miracle this was. By the way, go to Georges church in Houston Texas. It is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen to him and after the service look in his eyes and you will understand. God reached into Georges soul and used him to help millions of people believe in themselves. George not only preaches the Gospel, HE LIVES IT. Georges youth center helps so many underpriviledged children and that is the closest thing to his heart. He wants to see children grow up to live good lives. For those of you that keep bringing up Religion, you are wrong, Religion is manmade, Faith is God-made. Religion is to faith what humidity is to air, stuffy and oppressive. George has heard the voice of God and it changed His entire life and the lives of millions of souls, period.
Amen, George! One of my all time favorite boxers and boxing commentators! My understanding is he was fired from HBO for commenting out of frustration about boxing's corrupt judging.
God Bless him...You may not believe "The Gospel of Jesus Christ" but you should admire and respect how GOD has brought glory in the life of a man who honors and glorifies GOD... :)
Foreman hit the piss out Ali till he was pissing blood! Foreman just simply talked to God and got a better life a rematch Foreman beats Ali any day of the week!
+Akbar Great Ali is a heavyweight who uses the footwork and finesse of a middleweight. Foreman is a great heavyweight, but after losing to Ali, he wouldn't go in to the rematch with the same mindset which could arguably benefit him. Point is, Ali is Foreman's kryptonite. He's fast, smart and inhumanly tough.
+Cinder Sentinel Foreman offered Ali a rematch but Ali said he would fight Foreman if Foreman has Dick Saddler as his trainer... Something suspicious, yes? Also Foreman claimed that his drugged by his trainer as his water tasted different.
+Akbar Great He said himself those were "excuses" Foreman was game the first time and got k.o'd, in a rematch it would just end later or go the distance in my opinion.
George Forman, experiences sound true. I never heard him talk so serious. I met Forman 3 times in the San Francisco bay area. George was more hot tempered when he was younger. He appeared to get wiser at an older age. But.. it was all clear when he met Ali, he had the biggest challenge in his life! A master at the ring, speed and greater timing , and all the gifts of boxing against the slugger Forman : Ali, is still king forever! And never again shall we see such excitment! Ali!
@mrfivegold Yeah I know what you're saying. I think when George was having his first reign as Heavyweight Champion, he would throw punches from too far out, winging them like he was throwing a discus sometimes, and I think that was one of the main adjustments he made when he made his comeback that led to him regaining the heavyweight crown. He shortened up his shots and created more snap in them and used the cross arm defence very well.
Before his Conversion, Foreman was a bully with an Arrogant demeaner.. But when Jesús Came Into his life, he Became the most humble and affable Boxing personality, loved by Boxing fans and Commentators alike.. Jesús said, without me you can do nothing" while Paul said.. I can do all things, through Christ who strengthes me...
Yes, I agree but he actually announced his come back after 10 years of retirement and regained his title at the age of 45. He is still the oldest champion in boxing history.
You may not notice or know this, but Foreman was not hurt to the point where he couldn't continue. He got up in time for the count but the Ref called it off, for Bias reasons who knows? Regardless at the time Foreman was upset and wanted to avenge the loss. But now seeing this interview you can see an extremely humble and kind George Foreman who not only accepts the loss but compliments the way Ali knocked him down and calls him Greatest. He's reached a character we should all strive for.
No matter if you believe in God or not, it helped George Foreman become a better person.

I was mocking the fact Ali is barely mentioned throughout the interview. The punching effect was delayed, surely! Bahaha
justin welsh dont say that word, or write it,when u do. it its a refexion of the word it self."ingnorance"
Vincent Medina =D
Ali had the heart to win, but I respect George because he realized it's more to life than winning a fight.
When you watch the fight you see Ali talking. Watch it. Amazing. Ali just has tht voice. When George says he was beating Ali for like 6 rounds and Ali fell on his shoulder in the 7th & said "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT GEORGE!" thts goosebumps. Love it!! Love from Scotland xx ✌👌❤
George Foreman, you sir are a Class Act and a Phoenix personified.
Absolutely right on 👍
I'd hate to have been one of the 8 men trying to force Foreman into a shower!
God saved George Foreman!
+Richard Kardos Its important to be a good person, nice to everyone, funny, humble, make a change, make people smile when you are a champion like Ali. But when you're not a champion no one cares about you anyways or about if you are a nice guy or not
Whatever it was that happened to George Foreman after that boxing match, it saved him both as a warrior and as a man.
Some times it takes hitting rock bottom for God to get your attention.Foreman Lives in Humble Texas close to where I do. I had the pleasure of meeting him at my church. Great guy.
Veronon Parker cool I'd love to meet him and as a born again believer in Jesus Christ I also believe what he is saying. God has done far stranger things than what he says
I am an atheist... but I love this guy... its always heartwarming to see Ali, George and Frazier's interview... I think I've watched it a 100 times now... still the best...
Hahahahaa God loves irony 😂 Atheism is God playing a prank on Itself lol getting It to believe It isnt God. Those 3 men are legends! Frazier asked God to let him kill Ali thats why he lost 2/3 of their fights and died before Ali and Foreman won back the title in the same shorts he lost the title to Ali in. Becoming oldest heavyweight champ a month after i was born :) with God all things are possible! God is faith, hope, and love. You cant believe in yourself without beliving in a higher power but thats just my opinion 😇
@@Jackal That comment will never save someone's soul. You are called to be the salt.
I love George Foreman..... He is a champ all the way
Being a muslim i love his philosphy of God and Jesus peace be upon him... Foreman the hardest hitter there is ever been in boxing 🥊
I have heard him tell this many times over the years, and it never gets old and never losses it's meaning.
I guess some people don't understand what goes on in the minds of true warriors. Whatever your personal beliefs, you could stand to learn from someone like George Foreman. He not only won the heavyweight championship of the world in his prime, he had the courage, fortitude, faith, and vision to reclaim it long after his physical skills were diminished. If you compare yourself to him and declare yourself the better man, it's likely you are deluding yourself.
WELL SAID !!!
James Rozoff well we know this something happened to that angry young man and while it grew his anger deminished ... I believe him
Well said
As tough as it is I think it takes these kind of extreme experiences to really make a life. Most of us never really live and consequently never really learn. "I don't want your money I want you". Thanks for sharing George.
What an Incredible Story.
Love it when he says Jesus Lives. I believe every word he said
Dear Mr, Foreman , Thank you for this/Your testimony. " I Will Rise".
George Foreman what a man what a legend thank God for people like him !
Foreman is a heavy hitter, and a great boxer,and a good man of god.
This changed my life. I had a similar spiritual experience later on... I love you, George Foreman!!!
He said this on numerous occasions. and even in books he wrote...I believe him
He said it more than once and in a book? Must be true....
Joe Davola Just saying, why would anyone try to make something this life changing up?
College Senior Life I don't really know man...I guess I am just a bit skeptical as a lot of crack pots have made similar claims....Foreman clearly had his ego shattered after losing his fight with Ali....I greatly admired the guy as a fighter and no doubt he has really become humble...I am just wary of people who wear the same brand as Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen ;)
Joe Davola Understandable, especially when I am skeptical of when you're about to die, your life flashes before your eyes when scientifically its just you mind having the last seven minutes of happy thoughts and what ifs. And when people come back to life, they have a story to tell. But for someone like Foreman, who's story hasn't changed at all, not one word, I believe him. Its not what he said, its the consistency to me.
J. Payne It's not that complicated of a story to remain consistent though....I guess I also struggle with the idea that Jesus condones a sport where you bash each others brains in....I love boxing but it sounds a bit odd. I would also think a religious experience like that would perhaps make you 110% committed to preaching and being involved in Christ like activities...rather than return to the ring.
I love this man
Whatever the truth of the matter, Foreman now is a much more pleasant person than the 1970s Foreman.
I remember when the RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE happened I was 17. I thought George Foreman would win after I saw what he did to Joe Frazier. But I'm glad He saw the light of the Spirit of God and He helped others and became a Preacher and THEN BIG GEORGE FOREMAN became the Heavyweight Champion of the World AGAIN, I was and am so happy for him. Hey Man I bought 1 of your Grills in the 80s. God Bless You Mr Foreman..I always liked your personality your a good human being 🙏💪🇺🇲🤟🤙
Faith will always guide you I wanted to die when my daughter took her life at 21 thant emphasis is what kept me alive I miss her everyday but I must continue her legacy .X
Hope you’re doing ok man
George is a spiritual man, man..
For the love of Christ can you reply me, for I have something important to say to you
There will always be #Respect for you for saying this!
George Foreman - inspirational and also Great!
George Foreman is indeed a great champ , great human being and you can't get any more gracious than BIG George , I loved this man , truly I do , inspirational !
+Jake Timber love , thanks , typed too fast I suppose
George Foreman has represented something good to me all my life.
I remember that he came from a horrible family situation.
When I was young I remember the two black athletes with their fists up in the air making a protest statement against the United States.
Not George Foreman!
In the 1968 Olympics George Foreman carried a little America Flag that he proudly waved.
There are very few Heavyweight boxers that have have fought 81 professional fights with 76 wins 68 by Knock Out and had only 5 losses.
Then there is George Foreman's testimony here about knowing Jesus Christ as his God.
Then there is the George Foreman grill, true American Entrepreneurship.
There are very few people like him! God Bless!
He changed his life completely a minute after that experience. Like milions of others with death experience. Thank You Lord
What a beautiful human-being... George Foreman is all heart...
Such a beautiful soul! George Foreman is a saint.
RIP Ali, and George is a great fighter and a great human.
Good clip...Glad that big George Foreman had a real conversion & experience of God's presence...GOD is real, in spite of the doubting of many in this world. Hope & pray that as many people will acknowledge & receive HIM into their hearts...Thanks for uploading this clip!
Wow... Foreman was, is, and will always be a great man. Fighting Ali only proves that fact. So glad he came back to boxing late in his career and once again became the Heavy Weight Champion of the world. The world is a better place thanks to you Mr. Foreman!
I have to say,amen to the testimony regarding a God who works in mysterious ways.
On his journey, Saul approached Damascus. Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. [Shine bright light - on teacher, not students.] He fell to the ground. He heard a voice speak to him. “Saul! Saul!” the voice said. “Why are you opposing me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus,” He replied. “I am the one you are opposing. Now get up and go into the city. There you will be told what you must do.” [Turn light off.]
The men traveling with Saul stood there. They weren’t able to speak. They had heard the sound. But they didn’t see anyone. Saul got up from the ground. He opened his eyes, but he couldn’t see. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind. He didn’t eat or drink anything. - Acts 9:3-9
No drugs
As an atheist, I still appreciate it. George hit his rock bottom and climbed back up. Any alcoholic or drug addict will tell you the same, religion or not. He was reborn-in that his life had new purpose.
Still would not want to go a round with him.
What a beautiful story and what a beautiful human being.
That is a AMAZING TESTIMONY OF THE LORD.. THANK U JESUS AMEN🙏
God bless you George.
Wonderful man! Transformed by a wonderful God...
Ali ducked Foreman for a rematch which Foreman was demanding.
Thank You, and not in the Congo with Ali loving dictator and country at 3am local time. Rumble in Jungle was bullshit. Foreman looked almost drugged. George would have killed him next time. In USA with normal water, food and all :)
MrAitraining I wouldn't go that far to call it bullshit, Ali shown us that morning class A of boxing and the way it is done. Foreman still up to this day claiming his manager Dick Sadler put some sort of drugs in his drinking water, could be true. he fired him after that match. Ali stipulated for rematch that Foreman takes Sadler back that sounded fishy. by the way it wasn't in Congo rather Zaire.
Ken Norton Zaire changed name from congo or vice versa in 1971. Same place. whatever on that. Whole thing seemed messed up, but George gives Ali props. Of course Ali never gave anyone props.
Ken Norton I heard Ali say it was his manager who gets the final say on who Ali fought but i really can't imagine him outright ducking Foreman. I think the Foreman fight would have been a much easier choice for Ali then the picking the Frazier and Norton fights so it does not make sense to duck Foreman. Ali showed superior speed and accuracy and we all know Foreman lacked Stamina. Young beat Foreman and once again exposed his lack of stamina and also Young was a fighter had decent footwork and moved quite and would not exchange so much with Foreman, i think guys like Young and Ali was a big threat to Foreman. I think most would agree Ali would have won even in a rematch not just because of style but because Foreman was mentally broken and was deeply depressed and that is not the state of mind you need when facing Ali
cast 30 There is no doubt Ali is way faster than Foreman and has more stamina, however Foreman realized he was tricked into that ropa dope and he would've fought the rematch differently this worried Ali ,Foreman alot stronger and can take out Ali in one blow he has got those clubbing punches where he sweeps a person out of his feet, plus he has the ability to take big punches ,he would just stands in front of you wide open punch me all you want I am still going to knock you out, and don't forget for rematch he has no thing to lose and that could be more dangerous Ali knew that.
I am pretty sure Ali was worried about a rematch he certainly ducked him.
And thus the Foreman grill was created.
Burgers > Boxing
He was one of the few that really loved what he was doing.
Giving his best in this sport,it was his life a real figher.
So i understand the stress he felt after this defeat.
I do not know what to make of this. I am not a religious man, by any stretch. I love George, and he is not anywhere near eloquent... He did more to sell me on divine intervention/God than anything I have heard in my life. That shit moved me.
Wow he is an amazing man. That come back - Jez- never wanted the impossible so much and he delivered - mad.
Great title to the video as he didn't mention Ali at all.
He is talking about the Ali fight as soon as the video begins.
But he doesn't mention Ali. How would the viewer know who he's talking about?
whoyoukidding1 Because of the title.
David F It's from a Film called Facing Ali, and this is part of his testimony. He does talk about Ali but it's not included for some odd reason in this video
I think that's because the *owner* of this video got *punched* in the head.
God Bless The Best George Foreman!!!
Ali beat the God in that man!
I remember a really close fight
Mike Hunt Ali knocked his ass out after toying with him for almost an hour...
Mike Hunt
you remember wrong
But did Foreman beat the Parkinson i Ali?
That was Jimmy Young you dumb fuck
GEORGE FOREMAN -a christian and a tremendous individual.love the guy.
As he was speaking What he experienced, I could see it so vividly. Yah said that he wanted HIM and not his worldly possessions.
Watching Ali beat George was amazing because of what an accomplishment it was but seeing what a great man George became makes me cheer less when he goes down.
I can't be skeptical of something I didn't experience.
You didn't get your head chopped off, but if given a choice, and it was your head you'd have an opinion!
I would love to meet george.
Right on George, all the best!!
All who don't believe in God now, you will believe in him when he judges you on the day of judgement. You don't have to believe in fire, but it will still burn you. Your unbelief doesn't change the reality of God.
love that man
Rip Mr George Foreman, a true champion. Warriors never quit.
??? his still alive lol??
The f*** you mean? He's still a living legend
I'm old school I love george foreman and ali.
I know George and let me tell you, he was a very very angry mean soul prior to his conversion. Look at what happened to George after his astounding experience. Many will doubt what happened to George just like those that doubted what happened to the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. A person only has to look at what he was and what he became after God reached into His soul and converted his life to see what a miracle this was.
By the way, go to Georges church in Houston Texas. It is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen to him and after the service look in his eyes and you will understand. God reached into Georges soul and used him to help millions of people believe in themselves. George not only preaches the Gospel, HE LIVES IT. Georges youth center helps so many underpriviledged children and that is the closest thing to his heart. He wants to see children grow up to live good lives.
For those of you that keep bringing up Religion, you are wrong, Religion is manmade, Faith is God-made. Religion is to faith what humidity is to air, stuffy and oppressive. George has heard the voice of God and it changed His entire life and the lives of millions of souls, period.
Amen, George! One of my all time favorite boxers and boxing commentators! My understanding is he was fired from HBO for commenting out of frustration about boxing's corrupt judging.
George was an animal and the loss made him human.
God Bless him...You may not believe "The Gospel of Jesus Christ" but you should admire and respect how GOD has brought glory in the life of a man who honors and glorifies GOD... :)
George is the man
Praise Jesus. Only God could take a man who felt helpless and show him the way to true life.
God bless everyone.....I believed sir cause it happens to me 3 times already...
Look at big Geroge what a nice likeable guy. Big hug from Mexico
Amen!
God bless... :)
Wow amazing. I believe him! Jesus is alive and real!!
He is a real champ. He knew how to win and knew how to loose. Never a chump always a champ
Gotta respect Foreman for his great acting here ;-)
Ali hit this man so hard he woke up out the Matrix! Muhammad Ali greatest of all time
Foreman hit the piss out Ali till he was pissing blood! Foreman just simply talked to God and got a better life a rematch Foreman beats Ali any day of the week!
+Akbar Great Ali is a heavyweight who uses the footwork and finesse of a middleweight. Foreman is a great heavyweight, but after losing to Ali, he wouldn't go in to the rematch with the same mindset which could arguably benefit him. Point is, Ali is Foreman's kryptonite. He's fast, smart and inhumanly tough.
+Cryer24597 God is the reasoning for the change of big George into a cuddly teddy bear grandpa we see today!
+Cinder Sentinel Foreman offered Ali a rematch but Ali said he would fight Foreman if Foreman has Dick Saddler as his trainer... Something suspicious, yes? Also Foreman claimed that his drugged by his trainer as his water tasted different.
+Akbar Great He said himself those were "excuses" Foreman was game the first time and got k.o'd, in a rematch it would just end later or go the distance in my opinion.
beautiful!!!
Great documentary "Facing Ali". It's available now on YT for free. I throughly enjoyed it.
George Forman, experiences sound true. I never heard him talk so serious. I met Forman 3 times in the San Francisco bay area. George was more hot tempered when he was younger. He appeared to get wiser at an older age. But.. it was all clear when he met Ali, he had the biggest challenge in his life! A master at the ring, speed and greater timing , and all the gifts of boxing against the slugger Forman : Ali, is still king forever! And never again shall we see such excitment! Ali!
God is very real.
Thank you Jesus.
Bless you.
Beautiful George
☝🏽 Ive been to one of his houses in texas a met his sons..He and his kids are stand up people..Genuine people is the word i can think of..
Foreman didn't fight Ali
But proves his the best
Oldest boxer in Boxing
Ali. Foreman. Frazier.
Holyfield. Tyson. Marciano.
My Greatest idol in Boxing
@mrfivegold Yeah I know what you're saying. I think when George was having his first reign as Heavyweight Champion, he would throw punches from too far out, winging them like he was throwing a discus sometimes, and I think that was one of the main adjustments he made when he made his comeback that led to him regaining the heavyweight crown. He shortened up his shots and created more snap in them and used the cross arm defence very well.
Before his Conversion, Foreman was a bully with an Arrogant demeaner.. But when Jesús Came Into his life, he Became the most humble and affable Boxing personality, loved by Boxing fans and Commentators alike.. Jesús said, without me you can do nothing" while Paul said.. I can do all things, through Christ who strengthes me...
I'm surprised people don't respect George Foreman more. It takes character to lose gracefully.
Yes, I agree but he actually announced his come back after 10 years of retirement and regained his title at the age of 45. He is still the oldest champion in boxing history.
Ali's blows must have packed a lot of heat to turn an unbeliever into a devout Christian.
+usgalsen that was right after jimmy young fight .. not ali..
You may not notice or know this, but Foreman was not hurt to the point where he couldn't continue. He got up in time for the count but the Ref called it off, for Bias reasons who knows? Regardless at the time Foreman was upset and wanted to avenge the loss. But now seeing this interview you can see an extremely humble and kind George Foreman who not only accepts the loss but compliments the way Ali knocked him down and calls him Greatest. He's reached a character we should all strive for.
