George Foreman’s death “caught me so off guard,” Charles Barkley said in a clip shared by CBS Sports last night. The news “hurts a lot” he added, saying “he was obviously one of the greatest boxers ever, but just a gentle man was a pastor, and this just hurts, man.”
“Boxing and football are my two favorite sports, and I got to know Mr. Foreman a little bit, seen him at all the boxing matches, and I always picked his brain about trying to be an entrepreneur when your career is over,” Barkley said.
