The Spin
Narrative A
George Foreman was one of the most prolific heavyweight boxers, not only of his generation, but of all time. Very few can claim a career like his, with an Olympic gold to his name, and having twice held the world heavyweight crown.
Narrative B
This is a tragic loss of not only one of boxing's all-time greats, but that of a devoted husband and father, as well as of a proud grand and great grandfather. He was a man of deep faith and strong commitment to his community, and he will be missed sorely.
