George Foreman didn't really talk trash but, he did become humble.
This thread has been done before and I will use the same example now as I did then. The ultimate, most satisfying humbling I have witnessed is;
Ali Vs Fraizer 1. No question.

"I'm sure I hit him 3x more than he hit me if you watch the film."
"All black people know I won"
"I am the true champion of the world and YOU ALL shall bow."
"I'm the greatest fighter of all time."
"Fight might not go 2 minutes."
"Come on gorilla make it a thrilla'"
I don't think that's humbling.

Making those pathetic excuses after losing is actually worse.
Look at Degale now for example.
George Foreman being another immediate example after Ali.
I see those as humbling.
