    Idk how true this is but I heard that it's not actually George, but that it's someone else that just had their face swapped with George through editing. Any truth to this?

    If that’s the case, they should suspend release of the movie - they might have to add more to Foreman’s success story and reshoot the ending to include George’s second miracle.

    The Grill King vs The Gypsy King. Fury has the FAT that Foreman loves to knockout.

    How many miracles are required again for someone to be canonised (made a Saint)?

    How does Saint George sound….or has that already been taken?

    As a (not so) good Catholic boy I seem to recall that the magic number for miracles and subsequent elevation to Sainthood is 3.

    Our own @Saintpat should know, per title, he’s obviously been there and done that.

    Past my bedtime…starting to rant..lol…

    If that is really Foreman hitting the bag that’s awesome power at age 74. They did take the camer off Foreman before and after he hit the bag, enough time to swap someone in.

    The fine print says you can either perform a bunch of miracles or be born on March 17.

    I chose the latter approach, haha.

    Lest anyone take me too literally, I would not favor Foreman now...
    Maybe until he became a Senior Citizen. :eusa_dance:

    Foreman is phenomenal. Everything I see about the guy reinforces my belief that he was a unique kind of wrecking machine.

    No wonder Tyson didn't want to be anywhere near this man. He knew better than anyone what would've happened when you step into the ring with Foreman.

    I'd pay more for that than the fight itself. :lol:
