Tweet: George Foreman says he would have 'gone far' in MMA

What if mixed martial arts rivalled boxing as the go-to combat sport 30+ years ago? What if the boxing greats pursued a different career path entirely?

Foreman, who retired from boxing at the age of 48 with multiple titles to his resume, entertained the idea on Twitter yesterday.
