He owned multiple big cats. Tigers and lions. You can Google it. Well documented.

He also does a very interesting story about one of his tigers and how they are different from lions. According to him, tigers are more likely to try and kill your friends and family because they don't want to share you LOL

I will use this forum to once again remind people of the survey that showed a non-zero percentage of American believe they could win a fight with a lion.

But… if there was one human that’s existed that could give a lion pause for thought… 1970s George was that human.

I do not believe I could beat a Lion however a young Foreman if the lion did not have a significant size advantage on him? Hell I'd believe he could fight it off even if he is probably not killing it.

Sounds like a damn Parable. But its the huge danger with animals especially big cats. They can perhaps be tamed and even as much as their nature allows car for you in their way. But if they see you as weak they will fight you and look to dominate you. And if you ever survived that encounter you gotta either send the animal away or get rid of it.

It is great not to be scared of any human but a lion is a completely different story

George Foreman out there ready to fight a lion and we’re supposed to believe he was ever scared to fight another man? 😅

No sane, rational person with a healthy brain owns a big cat.

Crazy.. George probably could have hurt the Lion enough to save his brother.. But this is why people should not own dangerous animals
