I get it, but it is Big George.

The George Foreman Grill was the gift you got for someone who you didn’t know what to get.

I loved mine and used it weekly.

All time legend and icon.  Was so cool when he made his comeback in the early 90s and transcended generations as I could watch as a kid with my Dad and Grandpa who were already big Foreman fans from his heyday in the 70s.  He was one of my Dad's all-time favorite fighters and I texted him immediately after I heard the news tonight.  This one hurts.

 

RIP Big George🥊

His George foreman grill was a phenomenon like I have never seen.

RIP big guy.  The Rumble in Jungle and the comeback loss to Holyfield were loss's but you you took themwith dignity and fought on.  The world lost a great one!

Got one as a gift, gave it to my kid to use at college. Like his comeback in his 40’s and become the champ was unexpected and impressive, that he’d sell 100,000,000 of those grills was more so. Good for him on both accounts.

 

He was a bit of an American icon.

The last of the 3 lions of the 70s is gone.

So sad. Who didn’t like Big George?

[Gugny]

Such a great boxer.  Looked like he was barely swinging, but every punch was packed with power. 
 

RIP

Still use mine to cook hamburgers and it is about 30 years old. Last used it about 3 weeks ago.

60's and 70's were the peak of heavyweight boxing. Foreman was a big part of it. Along with Ali and Frazier of course, Liston and Patterson before that. As the 70's came to an end so did the luster around the division. I remember George talking about his fight with Ali decades later. He said in the early rounds Ali kept yelling at me "is that all you got, is that all you got" and I thought to myself, as a matter of fact it is.

 

edit: almost forgot, rest in peace.

One of the greatest of all-time. Have to admire the moxie to name all of your sons George, as well. Must have been confusing as all get out when the phone rang and the caller asked to speak to George.

 

RIP, Champ.
