“Last year, at the end of the year, I spent some time with him in Louisville. Got to whisper in his ear. He was sickly, but he knew who he was. His mind, his brain, was always together. You could sneak up and give him a kiss. He just couldn’t move much…All Muhammad ever wanted was to be loved. He wanted love. And the world has shown today that they really love him. It wasn’t a put on…Muhammad Ali was like a total eclipse. We won’t see that again. Saying he was a great boxer, that’s making him too small. He was a great man.”

– George Foreman as told to TMZ
