We lost one of Canada’s greatest athletes yesterday. His claim to fame was going 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali and then 12 rounds a few years later losing by decision both times, no easy feat. I can believe it,saw him at a restaurant about 25 years ago, he was one thick, solid looking guy.

I wonder how much being able to take so many punches contributed to his dementia later in life. A wonderful career though and seemed like a classy fella even through being hit with so many losses in his family over the years.

His life was full of problems, losing kids to drugs and suicides. Punches to the head wouldn't do much for cognizance. He left his mark on Canada's boxing history. RIP at 89.

His family story was a mess . Himself was an amazing boxer and not an Ali style showman but a class act .

I’m sure George contributed to some of Muhammad Ali’s neurological problems later in life, He was a formidable opponent to Ali.
