    Is it just me or do his upper body and lower body not match?

    George Foreman's winsome smile reflects redemption.

    In a sweltering San Juan dressing room, at the nether point of his life, a beaten man suddenly came face to face with his utter failings and an oppressive conscience of mortality.

    And, by his choice, it became the genesis for a new man.

    The erstwhile dark soul acknowledged that the light is forever a better thing and reinvented himself by simply letting it shine through.

    His actually regaining a championship shockingly wrested from him, 20 years earlier while in the same work clothes, and before truly appreciating his fortune, was just the cherry on top.

    His true victory came in putting a negative spirit behind and becoming a gift to his fellow man.

    I think that alleged photo of Foreman in the ring with Liston is photoshopped. Not legitimate.

    Just checking that nobody has this pic for their avatar.
    (it appears for some strange reason the mods have deleted my old avatar)

    I thought the same thing. Doesn't look right at all.

    ****.

    I occasionally rail against myth-making and the like but... how do you argue with that? He really was a different breed.

    One wonders why Liston has on handwraps and Foreman has on gloves.

    Sorry for all the posts in a row, but this exact thought crossed my mind.

    I'm pretty sure it's not photoshopped.
