Umm right i'll try and help you out if i can remember he started boxing because kids used to say George was bully and why don't you try boxing or something like that he had 25 amateur fights and 1 loss when entering to olympic his first fight as an amateur he lost.


George was predominantly raised by his mother in a notoriously tough neighbourhood.

Foreman dropped out of high school and turned to petty theft, before joining the US Job Corps. Here, Foreman became infamous for picking fights until, on the verge of expulsion, he met supervisor Charles "Doc" Broadus, who saw promise in Foreman’s physical strength. Under the direction of Broadus, Foreman trained to be a boxer.

Foreman fought in the amateur boxing circuit, winning sixteen of eighteen fights; by the age of nineteen, he qualified for the Olympic boxing team. In the 1968 Olympic Games he won gold in the heavyweight class. The following year, he turned professional.

only 25 fights as a amatuer? his power sure suited him. Wouldn't that be bad to be the guy George is bullying?
