George Foreman didn't just Rumble in the Jungle. He lived a remarkable life.


It was sometime in the late 1980s. I think. When George Foreman punched me in the face. Foreman was in Houston and I was sent to do a story on the legendary fighter while working at the Dallas Morning News. Foreman was in the middle of his metamorphosis from a scowling boxing bad guy into one of the sport's greatest ambassadors. (USA Today)
