George Foreman passed away this past Friday at the age of 76 .

He was a two -time heavyweight world champion and Olympic gold medalist.

Teddy Atlas , the legendary trainer and commentator, paid tribute to Foreman on Monday .

Atlas: "We're all a little bit less today because of the loss of George" .

Michael Moorer was the then WBA and IBF heavyweight champion who Foreman defeated in 1994 to become the oldest heavyweight titleholder of all time at the age of 45 .

In the ultimate full circle moment, when Foreman challenged Moorer to become a two -time heavyweight champion, he wore the same trunks that he wore when he lost the title to Ali 20 years prior.

"George really wanted the truth, and he put himself to the test," Atlas said.
