George Foreman has grilled his last steak

[Manuel]

Great boxer.

RIP.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

 

Totally agree.

The 80s was a golden age for Boxing...especially the middleweights.
Our own Kaylor/Sibson/Cristie/minter
Hagler/Hearns /Leonard /Duran..(no mas)
Other weights
 Charlie Magri
Davey boy green
Kirkland Laing...(What a talent he was)
GARY MASON (RIP) 
HORACE NOTICE 
Honeyghan at welterweight ..( I still remember staying up late to watch the Curry fight  itv)

So many iconic boxers throughout the weights.


Anyone remember Dennis Andries?...what a warrior he was 

 

Yeah remember Andries. Hackney lad iirc.
No room for 'the fighting fireman' Terry Marsh on your list mate?
Not the most explosive of boxers, but managed to retire undefeated.

As you say, a golden age.

 

Marshy is a bootneck ..no chance

The middleweight division in the 80's was mad, so many great fighters all capable of beating each other. Me and my mates used to watch them live at Mile end odeon in the early hours of the morning.
This was obviously pre Sky tv, made for some great nights. My personal favourite was Sugar Ray Leonard, he had the fastest hands I'd ever seen. Have to agree with you about Hagler though, he was an absolute beast and one of the bravest fighters I ever saw.

As for Foreman, he would have been the dominant boxer among the heavyweights had Ali not been around.


RIP.

You can also add Colin Jones to that list as well, very unlucky against Milton McCrory not to lift a world title and beat Kirkland Laing twice. 

Indeed

I always get him muddled up with 'mad' Frankie Foreman.
RIP.
Those grills are tops for doing crumpets.

 

Sorry " brown bread Fred" foreman
Anyway he's with the angles now

Freddie Foreman (father of Jamie), Mad Frankie Fraser

[Far Cough UKunt]

He is in my top 3 favourite boxers of all time along with Tyson and Hagler. RIP George

Marvelous Marvin Hagler is my favourite boxer of all time and I love Ali but Hagler was just a fucking machine and look who he was up against Thomas (The Hitman) Hearns, Roberto (Manos de Piedra) Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard, you'll never see the likes of those again.

[F 129 Row66]

I always get mixed up between him and George Formby. Foreman was the grill bloke right.

[Alfs]

Decent boxer but was no Frank Bruno.

[nychammer]

The Grilla (not) from manila

RIP

[ragingbull]

The jungle never recovered from that grilling,
RIP George.

Another one sadly taken by a bumming from the ghost of Steven Gately. FFS. 

Gets about, the lad. 

[the coming of gary]

For me he was possibly the greatest, powerful and brutal. Destroyed a legendary world champion in Joe Frazier with six knockdowns in two rounds

Took part in the most famous fight of all time - although he lost on that occasion, Ali and his team refused point blank any re-match, which seems unthinkable now

RIP George

Retired at 28 - Comeback at 45!

R.I.P. George 

 

[Council Scum]

One of the top 5 greatest heavyweights of all time and after being a bit of a nasty bastard in his younger days, completely turned his life around. Deserves all the plaudits coming his way. 

I wonder how much Hulk Hogan wishes he'd taken the Grill gig, before they then offered it to Foreman after Hogan rejected it. 

[Far Cough UKunt]

The Rumble in the Jungle was legendary but the Thrilla in Manilla was murderous for both Muhammad Ali and Smokin' Joe Frazier.

RIP George Foreman. A monster in the ring but an absolute gentleman outside of it.

[Sydney_Iron]

Even had a top 20 hit back in 1976 for the rumble in the jungle fight! How many of you old codgers remember this?
