Teddy Atlas accused Foreman of being a phoney and a con artist and also stated he wasn't afraid of him. Moorer also accused Foreman of dihonesty. Was the "loveable" George Foreman of the late eighties/early nineties a ruse?

Teddy Atlas and Michael Moorer were sour grapes because Foreman knocked Moorer out and won the title. Teddy Atlas is a mental case.

Yes, before he lost to Ali there were many ways Foreman's behavior could have been compared to Tyson.

Yes Teddy Atlas is insane, but he was a damn fine wrestler and bodybuilder.

He reportedly made his GERMAN SHEPARD dog jump off a roof to its death to prove his power over it . He also named all his sons GEORGE

? A little sociopathic with a tad of narcissism tossed in to complete the pic .

Atlas is a bitter school girl. He talks about punking a young Tyson proving he is a liar.

Boxing writer named Pedro Fernandez, and boxer Larry Holmes. I'm not sure if it's totally true because it's only mentioned a few times, mostly by Holmes, who dislikes Foreman, but it could be. The dog apparently was the famous one Foreman brought with him to Zaire during the Rumble in The Jungle fight.

Foreman really was sort of a proto- Tyson in the early years.

Interesting. If it is true then I guess he turned his life around for the better.

George was surly and angry when he was younger. After one of his last first career fights, he really did have some kind of conversion experience. Good for him. I like the guy.

George seems cool but maybe deep inside an asshole may be thriving. Nice thought but it's his business.
