George Foreman is a class act... Muhammad Ali is a hero.

It really sucks knowing how the world missed out on great Ali quotes, interviews, and all around wholesome, great, kind, and funny moments because of his Parkinsons disease. The greatest of all time, not only for his boxing, but for his really kind and respectful nature, when he wasnt trash talking other fighters atleast

Foreman actually did go two more fights after the Oscars. And it was two tough fights. A win against Lou Savarese and that last fight against Shannon Briggs. No he didn´t lose that fight. No way. But just watch that interview after that fight. What a man, no hard feelings and bad loser mentality there.
