George Foreman sympathize, says he has lost one of
his best friend, when he receives the news of the demise of the Boxing icon,
Mohammed Ali on Friday. According to TMZ correspondence the heavy weight champ
says he takes solace knowing Ali would have
been touched by outpouring
affection.
Ali and Foreman squared off in the
1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" -- maybe boxing's most legendary match.
Ali handed Foreman his first loss. Years later, they became close
friends.
Foreman also talks about his last
interaction with Ali:
"Last year, at the end of the
year, I spent some time with him in Louisville. Got to whisper in his ear. He
was sickly, but he knew who he was. His mind, his brain, was always together.
You could sneak up and give him a kiss. He just couldn't move much."
With the reverence coming from all
part of the world ... Foreman says, "All Muhammad ever wanted was to be
loved. He wanted love. And the world has shown today that they really love him.
It wasn't a put on."
Foreman says Ali truly was "The Greatest" ... and that
extended well beyond the boxing ring.
"Muhammad Ali was like a total
eclipse. We won't see that again. Saying he was a great boxer, that's making
him too small. He was a great man."
Ali is truly great because the world
has showed it to him, happy for him even in death…
