    Boxing heavyweight champ George Foreman dies at 76



    Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, known as much for his gregarious personality as his vicious right hook, died Friday. He was 76 years old.

    A two-time heavyweight champion, he also won gold at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and later saw success, in his post-boxing career, pitching the now-omnipresent countertop grill that bears his name.

    Foreman's family announced his death in a post on Instagram.

      The man who was, probably, known almost as much for the George Forman Grill as for his boxing prowess.

          This is a guy that will be missed. Always seemed a gentle giant that had a personality bigger than his talent.

                  He had to be persuaded into the deal by his wife. George was reluctant to sign on with it because he didn't think it would sell. His wife tried it out and then coaxed him into trying it and he loved it.
                  He has said he made hundreds of millions of dollars over the years off of the grill.
                  Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
