George Foreman:
“I was out of boxing for 10 years and the only picture that I saved was Muhammad Ali knocking me down. There I was going down from that punch, I kept that and looked at it all the time, mainly because I realised what a big moment it was for sports and for boxing. And it kept me humbled, I never forgot that, and it’s made me a far better person than if it had been me knocking him down.”
Sometimes the loss shapes you more than the win ever could. George Foreman didn’t frame his victories, he kept the photo of Ali knocking him down, a reminder that failure can teach humility, perspective, and strength in ways triumph never will.
