That's a shame. What a likeable personality he had. In his day, he was amazing. RIP, George.

Went to a couple Mayweather fights in GR....George was roaming the stands with a cameraman.
He walked past us and I was amazed at his size...even though he hadn't fought in 10 years or more. I always liked his commercials.....RIP George.

One of my childhood heroes. Decades later, returned as on of my adult heroes. One of the very few boxing personalities that seemed like a genuine, humble, likable guy.

RIP George. Thanks for the memories.
Not many guys from the Golden Age of boxing left. Damn, there some great fighters and great fights during that period.

Actually just watched the highlights of Frazier/Foreman on a FB Reels the other day. Never tire of Howard's commentary. Down goes Frayzah. Another immortal.
