Sad. He set the bar higher for boxing when he returned to win the title at an "advanced" age.

He was certainly part of some dramatic moments in boxing. Of course the stunning loss to Ali, but also the complete destruction of Frazier, and the round much later where he improbably rocked and almost put away Holyfield.

The pinnacle of Foreman's comeback, against Michael Moorer in 1994.
Moorer was no slouch, though maybe a bit of a head case, and had just come off a win against a prime Evander Holyfield. Moorer was beating up Foreman pretty good in the bout, before Big George caught up to him in the 10th. Moorer's trainer Teddy Atlas had been begging him not to stand in front of Foreman the whole fight, as it was well known that this version of George carried his power into the later rounds of fights, and Atlas could see that George was trying to coax Moorer into that right cross, which eventually took him out. Moorer thought he could take George out himself, and paid the price. He had some sporadic minor successes after, but his career never really recovered from it. https://youtu.be/nEd-P0VREME?si=Piy6ktkme2mT1Sh2
