George Foreman admits he was "ashamed" of way he knocked out opponents

George Foreman wasn't proud of the knockout power which led him to success during his boxing career.

Former two-time heavyweight champion Foreman was one of the hardest-hitters of his generation, with 68 of his 76 professional wins coming by knockout. Foreman is also the oldest heavyweight champion in history, relinquishing his IBF title at the age of 46.

'Big George' picked up several knockout wins against former world champions during his illustrious career, such as Michael Moorer, Joe Frazier and Gerry Cooney. Foreman said he was hit so hard that he often heard "bells and whistles" during his fights.
