A tremendous boxer. He really packed a punch and the blows he landed on Joe Frazier, actually lifted him off the floor. To have three such fantastic fighters (pictured below) slugging it out against each other, really was a golden age for heavyweight boxing.
He later showed a real sense of humour, in a TV travel show (now available on Apple TV I believe) entitled "Better Late Than Never" in which he travelled alongside Henry Winkler, William Shatner and Terry Bradshaw to several interesting locations (3rd picture). His lean, mean, grilling machine also made him millions and although my wife said that cleaning it was a nightmare

, it produced some nice lower fat burgers

. He more recently became a preacher (2nd picture). RIP George.
