I was a big fan of George Foreman, as anybody who is familiar with his story should be, so I was saddened this morning to hear of his passing.
This is a song we wrote about George Foreman in 1990.
Big George was on his comeback campaign, and had a fight with a really good young boxer named Bert Cooper, but Bert was really a light heavyweight, and was only 211 pounds compared to George's 253.
It only took two rounds and Bert Cooper had enough, and quit. Big George Foreman had totally overpowered him, and if I remember correctly, they withheld Bert's purse because he didn't finish the fight.
