How old was George Foreman in his last fight?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Regaining the Heavyweight Titles
In 1994, Foreman once again went for the world championship, after Michael Moorer had beaten Holyfield for the IBF and WBA titles. Foreman was trailing badly on all scorecards when he suddenly knocked out Moorer in the 10th round on November 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada. With this, Foreman broke two records: He became, at the age of 45, the oldest fighter ever to win the world Heavyweight crown, and, 20 years after losing his world title for the first time, he broke the record for the fighter with the most time in between one world championship run and the next.
George had apparently lost some speed in the ring since his first retirement, but still had the frightening power. He relied, once again, solely on that strength to defeat his opponents.
Shortly after the Moorer fight, Foreman was stripped of the WBA title because he refused to fight mandatory opponent Tony Tucker. He then went on to beat Axel Schulz of Germany to retain his title, by a 12-round majority decision. This verdict was very controversial, and the IBF ordered an immediate rematch to be held in Germany. Foreman refused to travel to Germany, and in the process, was stripped of the title.
In 1996, Foreman returned to Tokyo, where he beat Crawford Grimsley by a 12-round decision, and in 1997, he also beat Lou Savarese by decision. After the WBC decided to give the winner of his fight with Shannon Briggs a title shot against world champion Lennox Lewis, Foreman and Briggs fought, Briggs winning a disputed 12-round majority decision. After this bout, Foreman announced his retirement.
Second retirement
Foreman planned to box a return bout against Larry Holmes in 1999. The bout was scheduled to take place at the Houston Astrodome on pay per view. The fight was to be billed as "The Birthday Bash" due to both fighters upcoming birthdays. Foreman was set to make 10 million dollars and Holmes was to make 4 million dollars. However, negotiations fell through and the fight was cancelled. Immediately after the cancellation of the bout, Foreman said he had no plans to resume his career as a boxer. He announced in February 2004 he was training for one comeback fight, but his plans were stopped by his wife.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
