    He also used to tie a rope to the front of a pickup truck and drag it around the back yard

    Got it in an old Ring magazine, somewhere. The headline was " Foreman hefts 500lb calf " or something like that!

    I'm a troll because I don't view Foreman through the same rose-colored glasses that you do? Ok, whatever!

    Anyways, In Foreman's autobiography, he admitted the picture of him lifting that calf was fake.

    Wrong. When Foreman was on the tv show "Centerstage" with Michael Kay
    Foreman spoke about this stunt and said some men lifted the cow and Foreman was pretending to lift it to prove his strength until the men dropped the cow onto Foreman's shoulders and he was forced to hold the cow up there for a few seconds by himself. Michael Kay asked Foreman how much the cow weighed and Foreman said "I don't know but it almost killed me!"
