George Foreman: I wanted to kill Muhammad Ali 

To become a likable guy after many people didn't like you in your prime, that says a lot George. You're the man!

"People pass away before you get a chance to tell them you're sorry." That was one of the deepest things I have ever heard. Damn near made my eyes water. Man is a legend.

It's amazing how he went from this angry brute to an articulate, kind preacher. You can always change!

Shows Ali was more than just a pretty face, he took the best shots from Foreman and Frazier and was never knocked out.

He really knows how to ask questions without coming off as pushy. Graham is good at digging into touchy topics.

this teddy bear turns into a grizzly inside the ring.

He says “ My punching power the first time around was so vicious that the second time around I wouldn’t even throw those kind of punches anymore.” Damn! In his comeback he had even more potential that he didn’t use.

Everybody Loves Geoge Foreman

2:49 LOL It's so funny that he says that, then puts on a big smile! Love that George keeps it real, and doesn't make himself out to be better than he was

George Foreman is the most underrated heavyweight of all time IMHO.

1:47 to 1:55 was some real talk.

Amazing man he'd be a great mentor for any young person.

This interview shows how wonderfully George Foreman evolved both as a boxer and a human being. That is an indication of superb intelligence, tremendous will-power and supreme self-confidence. Foreman is truly a marvelous example of what humans are capable of.

He probably was the hardest puncher I ever saw. He is also a guy that seems very kind and empathetic. A gentleman.

I really like and admire this man. He's a living legend, and now so incredibly humble. He won the heavyweight championship back at 45! That's insane!

"I'm not fighting that animal....If you love him so much, you fight him!" (Mike Tyson to Don King in the 1990s about a proposed matchup between Tyson and Old George Foreman.) Tyson thought Foreman's nice guy thing was all an act and knew he still carried a ton of power and thought he neither had the size nor the style to beat him.

i just barely heard of Graham and I've been watching all these interviews with different people and I really like how he interviews and asks questions. this guy is good.

Loved every bit the man said!!! A true gentleman and motivation!!! All my respect to Sir George Foreman

I love this man more n more... So poetic n humble.n intelligent... A true person...

he likes to down talk his self as a boxer but he was alot greater then he actually portrays and he knows it."LEGEND"

Just discovered Mr. Bensinger. He's fantastic at this. The questions, the timing. And most importantly he lets the person finish their statement. As for Big George no recent discovery here. Everyone knows he is THE MAN.

Good interview. George sums it up correctly. He was not a good person early on in life and realized and owns what he was. The second time around he corrected his self and his actions. God bless you George.

George is not scary when he smiles.

Man ,this guy can still beat many younger people of today.... he knocked out good boxers at age 48-49

"u think world was shocked when Nixon Resigned, Wait till i whup forman's behind.".. #Greatest forever ALI

This is a guy who has truly gone through a lot of personal growth in his life. An intelligent and perceptive man too.

Was a total beast in the ring , destructive, powerful , and simply a wrecking machine.....and when he fought Ron Lyle,...it was a war, a slugmatch full of pure hatred and rage...awesome fight

I have so much respect for this man that he saw the mistakes he made both professionally and personally and then worked hard to correct them. Good on you George.

George, Ali and Tyson all became spiritual men

George Foreman one of the most humblest man I've ever heard of God-bless him and is God-loving heart

Great boxer and becoming a great man with his candor and change in attitude. Way to go, George.

Everyone goes through trials George. You were one of those great fighters. We care for you. Thanks for the grill.

What a lovely man. I could listen to George all day.

Looking at this giant gem of a man is so hard to believe what he use to be in the ring. I simply love this great man man

George is the man and Graham is top notch with interviews

The BEST interviewer ever! Cosell doesn't compare! Where was he with Ali n the other greats? Draws out info like no other journalist! Great guy!

The personality transition from Prime George to Big George is insaneee

He might not have been the "greatest" boxer-fighter, but George Foreman was/is one of the greatest athletes, spokespersons and motivators. What an exemplary human being!

So easing to the mind in listening to his kind speaking

I am 55 in May and remember so well how Foreman almost did kill Norton and Frazier !! Hearing him now at almost 70' what a sweet soul of a man !!

Very Humble, and great, man!!

foreman before ali loss was a bigger, stronger tyson...considered unbeatable....loved watching him destroy people in his 80s comeback

I could listen George for hours....

What a nice, lovable, and amazing man is George Foreman. He didn't seem like a nice person, even in the ring, when he was in his prime and When he was young though. That tells us he went through a lot of incredible growth through his life. Truly one of the greatest boxers of all times and he was so much fun and a true beast to watch in the ring, a bit like Tyson.

Great interview & interviewer

My boy GHB back at it again! This time with the oft-forgotten George Foreman!

This interviewer is a real nice guy I saw the interview with him with Mike Tyson very talented interviewer

I love the man Foreman is now. He is so honest and humble. ❤❤❤

Sometimes God reaches down and touches some of us. He has molded into a great classy intelligent man. What guy. !!

Foreman is a remarkably gracious and generous man. The essence of sportsmanship.

You're the best George, a real champion. My hat off sir.

I love George Foreman and he is very likeable after he came out of retirement and then retired for good. That said, I think George makes up a lot of stuff after the fact. He tells us what he thinks we want to hear. He is truly a great salesman.

U r already great Sir George Foreman..RIP The GOAT Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier..Mount Rushmore of Boxing

Fascinating man!

So is really true, I knew it. His punches were so viscous in the 70's but not so much in the 90's. He really was a different man, glad for him and his opponents lol

Now a days it's getting easier to be a legend. Its getting lot more difficult to be a Human Being. George Foreman is one such Human Being with character.

Heart touching

Just Class !!

Seems a very genuine and likable guy

Man how i miss you Mr George Foreman. You will always be my champion at heart😭

its very interesting to hear from george himself that he reckons he deffinately hit harder when he was young! fucking scary too considering what he did to people way past his prime in his 40s

He took the angry persona from Sonny Liston ... he trained a little with him ... oh and he just mentioned it as I type , lol

God bless you man You are a true legend

True champion good human being too humble and what an inspiration for all young boxers.

George Foreman's punches are like car crashes..

The most underrated sporting event of the 20th century is George Foreman regaining the HW Championship. Not just because of his age, but because he had abandoned who he was and reinvented himself...and he was actually quite rich with his business ventures by then.

I can't imagine George being angry..he is always this big friendly type of dude.-

Just got through watching Foreman hit the heavy bag. I bet he was a scary fellow back in those days i'm shivering. And saying that he wanted to kill his opponents? Thats crazy. Scariest man in history.

He tries to be a better man something we should all emulate. Stay blessed, we not perfect but it doesnt get better than seeking Gods Mercy.

Legends never die

It's interesting to hear Foreman say he would never throw the same kinda punches he did back in the 70s ... Man he knocked people out easy in the 90s can't imagine the kind of power he had in his best years !!

In my opinion, George is the best in all aspects of being a man. GOD bless you George.

When we young we all do things we regret when we older. We love you

I’m so happy and surprised that foreman is still so well spoking looks like his fight history hasn’t effected him

this man is an inspiration much respect to this gentlemen

Real class Mr. Foreman!

2:48 “IM GONNA KILL ONE OF THOSE GUYS! then they’ll know I’m the best” 😁😂 the way he smiles likes that’s something to be proud of, he’s like half grizzly bear half teddy bear haha

George Foreman is a marvellous conversationalist

When your in the ring you have to be a different kind of beast

i really love george forman he is proof that people can change and that gives me hope

Great man. Love how he speak of joe Frazier

If big George was active today nobody could beat him too powerful and strong

He named Lyle and Cooney as 2 of the hardest punchers he faced. He named Cleveland Williams in the David Letterman interview.

Foreman against Ali, in my opinion, was scarier than Tyson. Tyson had such a ferocity and you could feel his domination and the will of a juggernaut. Foreman, on the other hand, felt like a murderer.

George is a likeable guy ,great respect

Fascinating.

If you ever find yourself not liking where you are in this world, there's no better role model than George Foreman. Larry Merchant was around back when George came up the first time. In Foremans 2nd time around, he spoke of the amazing transformation of his personality. When George was young, Merchant said he was a "very violent, uncooperative human being!!"

so basically he is saying that when he was old and out shaper or the second time around as he called it he was holding back his tremendous punching power. if he didnt we might have seen different outcomes in his fights with Morrison and Holyfield

george your a goodman,,all of your success in your life,,because of your faith to god,,you are a inspirational person,specially in boxing career.very nice...

Remember these lines taken from interview between Forman and a Journalist : - George Forman, if you loose that important bout, are you going to continue your carreer ? - I beg your pardon ?! - I mean, if you loose this fight, are you going to continue boxing ? Once again: - I beg you pardon ?! George Forman went from somebody who were never smiling, who always wanted to scare everybody and be seen as the very baddest all the way to a very nice and charming guy, whith great wisdom, self-confidence, joy and humility and lot of calm and peace in his words and behavior what I really believe is his very true personality. And it all changed after 1974 and that "Rumble in the jungle". And that is something Ali is able to do to a man. Bring out all the kindness and the very bright side of a terrifying warrior. Respect to two great athlets.

the shot that KO'd Micheal Moorer didn't even look particularly hard, but it won him a World title. one shot, and 20 years faded into history. Ron Lyle was on his way to a decision against ALI, when ALI landed one of those rare right hands that took Lyle's legs away, causing the ref to stop it. the same shot he used to KO Zora Folley, and a couple other guys. underrated right hand.

Smiling between these statements 😂😂😂😂😂 Kill them smiles*

I learnt about this man recently and got goosebumps... I thought Tyson has powerful punch

His speech is so clear unlike most senior ex pro boxer got to thank the lord for that diamond chin

George later became very popular. His loss to Ali really humanised him.

What foreman did was amazing. Disappearing like he did then coming back competing at the level he did was remarkable. Goes to show you the level those Guys were back then. That era was the boxing at its peak. The best athletes in the world were boxers not football or b ball outside of someone like jim brown. Our best fighters are playing football now. Follow the money

George was and is an amazing man!

If George stated a cooking channel I’d watch it

Lots and lots of respect for big George
