The two-time world heavyweight champion said that having fathered 10 children, he had to find a way to feed all of them. While he admitted it was rough, he enjoyed it. He added, “I started off the most magnificent moment of my life was becoming an Olympic gold medalist.”

“What a big part of my life, being champion of the world, facing Joe Frazier, even Muhammad Ali – losing to him and then having to stop boxing become a preacher then starving again. Have to come back and be heavyweight champ of the world again – 20 years later,” Foreman said. This made Johnson chuckle in disbelief and say, “It’s quite a story.” 

Moreover, Foreman, who is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, revealed why the Olympic Gold was the greatest moment of his life, something Barkley agreed with.

Charles Barkley concurred with Foreman about the Olympics

Johnson asked Foreman whether winning the gold medal in the Olympics is still the greatest moment of his life. The 74-year-old replied, “The greatest moment of my life. I was 19. I’d never had a dream to come true ever in my life. Every day I kept thinking I can do something else.” He further added that all the other things come second to the Olympics.

Having won an Olympic Gold himself, Barkley agreed with Foreman. “It is when you’re standing up there and they’re playing the national anthem, I couldn’t believe the chills I was getting in my body…My heart was racing, I was getting goosebumps.” This made Foreman say, “What a description. What that is exactly the way it is.”
