George Foreman, a towering 6ft 3 (190.5 cm) heavyweight boxing legend, used his imposing height to dominate the ring with devastating power and reach. This stature made him an intimidating presence, helping him secure Olympic gold in 1968 and become the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1973 to 1974 by knocking out Joe Frazier twice and Ken Norton.
Foreman's height fueled his legendary comeback in his 40s, culminating in recapturing the heavyweight title in 1994 at age 45—the oldest ever—proving his giant frame remained a force. Off the ring, his tall, fatherly image shone through naming five sons all 'George,' as detailed in his autobiography By George: The Autobiography of George Foreman.
