I want some kind of metric now on how many refer to him as "boxing legend..." and how many as "maker of the GF Grill..."
And also a third category with how many confuse him with one (or more) of his sons.

I owned a George Foreman grill for many years. Rarely used it, but it did the job.

I remember him going on the Tonight Show just before a comeback fight.
Johnny Carson: "This fella you're fighting, is he a good fighter?"
George Foreman: "I hope not!"

The world of boxing and the world of grills are both poorer for this loss.
