Foreman

Praise Jesus Christ and His champion George Foreman.

For george foreman to win the heavyweight championship of the world at age 45 is inspiring this tale of redemption from a man who was bitter at the world to a born again Christian who completely turned his life around for the better he returned to boxing to raise money to keep the youth centre open a place of solace for trouble youth and in return he won the heavyweight title at age 45 proving all the naysayers wrong

I watched a couple of George Foreman fights back when I was a kid. Later, when Foreman came back in the 1990s, I passed on most of those fights. Like everyone else, I thought Foreman was just trying to sell his Foreman Grills. I had a hard time believing that a nice fat old man could be serious about boxing.

Thanks to Covid-19, this was on free premium cable, so I watched it, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was amazed and inspired too. George Foreman made an incredible transformation of his life. He also took a lot of disrespect and ridicule from people, and yet Foreman was not resentful of anyone. He is a really genuine humble good guy.

I think that is what I appreciated the most about Foreman (the documentary). It showed what he cared about was people. Foreman figured out how to make money and get famous again, and he had incredible faith in God and in himself, and he stuck to his plan, even after years of ridicule.

I do not think I could have done it. Seeing the story in detail, I honestly cannot imagine sticking to it like George Foreman did. He is an real American hero, with a giant heart of gold. I am glad I saw this!

A great story well told. A whirlwind pace with the energy of a heavyweight contest including all the hype and drama

This film takes you back to the halcyon days of boxing, when boxers had to prove themselves. Might be 2 belts, but each holder wanted undisputed title.So you had epic confrontations between Ali / Frazier / Foreman. These bouts were watched throughout the world even if in the early hours. Tyson was the last to ignite that sort of interest. Now they can fight for 4 or 5 belts and avoid each other, that's why the non boxing fans have lost interest. But watch this anyway because of George, you watch a man as well as a boxer grow up and mature. Why he's not proclaimed as a role model for black youth I don't know, but I could probably guess.
