Now I knew about him fighting multiple people in one night but this shyt looked like a damn circus. Random fights breaking out, George doing jumping karate kicks, him and Ali almost getting in to it, trainers fighting. wtf?

On April 26, 1975, Foreman fought five men in exhibition bouts scheduled for three rounds each. The opponents were Alonzo Johnson, Jerry Judge, Terry Daniels, Charley Polite, and Boone Kirkman. The bouts took place at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto and were shown live on ABC Wide World of Sports. Foreman knocked out Johnson, Judge, and Daniels, but Polite and Kirkman were able to survive all three rounds. Many, including ringside commentator Howard Cosell, called the event an embarrassment. Muhammad Ali, who was working ringside with Cosell, repeatedly heckled Foreman, while the crowd of about 5,500 booed Foreman throughout and occasionally chanted Ali's name.

Foreman had a bit of a mental breakdown after Zaire.

He thought beating the Toronto Five would make him look better, “the toughest guy on the planet” type shyt, but it just ended up being a farce and looking ridiculous.

Lester Hayes also grew up in the 5th Ward of Houston and talked about Foreman’s rep and how people were scared of him.

ESPN Sportscentury’s episode on Foreman talked about his marketing skills and his public persona as a lovable teddy bear.

I think old Foreman changed for the better, it wasn’t all fake, but he still definitely had mean side to him that you didn’t want to see.
