I'm pretty sure most people, both young and old know that he boxed. If they don't, then they're probably not boxing fans anyway, so it doesn't matter.
I've read multiple accounts from people who swear that behind that genial, awww shucks smile lurks the same miserable S.O.B that beat Frazier and Norton and lost to Ali.........Not that that means his grill isn't good though!
funny thing about the grill is..his whole stick was being fat..yet the grill was soild as a heathy way to cook your unhealthy redmeat. amazing how well it worked.
my dad (RIP) tought me a good trick for the Foreman grill....lay (actually press over) some aluminum foil over the grill part, and line the drip tray with foil. That way after you cook you just take that off and throw it away. Saves on the clean up time.
it still takes a minute or so..but all in all it saves about 5 minutes..plus you dont want to soak the grill, so it makes it pain to clean.
