I remember when he won the championship fight in 1994. I was in college and it seemed like every apartment in my complex in which guys lived had the fight on TV because when Foreman won, suddenly you heard all these male voices screaming and moments later you saw all these females coming out of their apartments looking around wondering what the heck was going on.

That was pretty unreal to watch that knockout live.  I don't think anyone actually expected Foreman to pull off regaining a title.  He had a couple title fights before the bout with Moorer but looked outclassed.

A thought just occurred to me: The man had five sons named George, so how did they know which one he was calling if they were all in the same room together?

They all have nicknames.

I remember a commercial that featured George Sr. with four of his sons.  Each wore a T-shirt indicating which George he was.

Yeah, it all makes sense now.
