RIP George Foreman, great boxer who had some of his best fights very late in his career

That is sad. I really enjoyed Better Late Than Never which kind of flew under the radar.

Clearly known for his boxing career, most of his $300,000,000USD estimated net worth came from selling his George Foreman electric grills. Estimated anywhere between 200 million to 250 million USD from that alone.

He gave a lot away, enjoyed his interviews.

Not a mummy, more intelligent than Ali. Ali named like his father after the famous abolitionist Cassius Marcellus Clay, he changed his name to one after two muslim owners of black African slaves, Muhammad and relative Ali. He was the mummy/dummy, not Foreman.

Val Kilmer has died aged 65. Like some of his stuff most memorable for me Heat and Thunderheart. Throat cancer really took it toll on him

Artist of the nation khun Ponsri Waranuch just died aged 85. Visited her house in 2012, like a museum, very nice lady she gave her artist pension to childrens charities. This looks like it's from the 90's she was older than this when I first met her in 2001.

Everyone of a Certain age remembers the Rumble in the Jungle

 

That song , "In Zaire" was played every where late 1970s, into early 1980s. 

I don't remember "Rumble in the Jungle" by them. I remember "Bungle in the Jungle" by Jethro Tull, 1974.

The 1974 fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, staged in Zaire

Great movie.

 

Great fight night Friday night even if I staggered home in rain and don't drink anymore.

 

I have some great pictures of Smokin Joe Frazier
