    Foreman, Holmes, Chuvalo and Shavers are the fathers of the heavyweight division now

    Me too. From his appearance, I think we can expect Big George to be with us for another 10-20 years. He may even beat out Max Schmeling as the longest lived ex heavyweight champion and make it to the big 100.

    He's outlived his major opponents of the 70s. He's outlived Frazier, Norton, Ali, Lyle and Young.

    I read that Dempsey was 75 when he knocked out a thug thinking that he was robbing a helpless old man.

    70 isn't all that old in the scheme of things but I work in health care with aged folks and George is in hella good shape for his age. Still solid, good posture, great skin integrity, basically how an elite ex-athlete should age.

    I follow George on twitter and his outlook on life is sensational. Just a credit to the sport.

    Happy birthday big man!
