Review of Foreman

I watched a couple of George Foreman fights back when I was a kid. Later, when Foreman came back in the 1990s, I passed on most of those fights. Like everyone else, I thought Foreman was just trying to sell his Foreman Grills. I had a hard time believing that a nice fat old man could be serious about boxing.

Thanks to Covid-19, this was on free premium cable, so I watched it, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was amazed and inspired too. George Foreman made an incredible transformation of his life. He also took a lot of disrespect and ridicule from people, and yet Foreman was not resentful of anyone. He is a really genuine humble good guy.

I think that is what I appreciated the most about Foreman (the documentary). It showed what he cared about was people. Foreman figured out how to make money and get famous again, and he had incredible faith in God and in himself, and he stuck to his plan, even after years of ridicule.

I do not think I could have done it. Seeing the story in detail, I honestly cannot imagine sticking to it like George Foreman did. He is an real American hero, with a giant heart of gold. I am glad I saw this!
