Why 40-45 Y.O. Foreman was so good in 90's?

The 90s looks like the golden age compared to this era though. On the whole the best guys fought each other. AJ, Wilder, Parker and probably Fury will fight each other soon. AJ fought Klitschko and that was a great fight.

It just goes to show you how good those heavies from the 70s were. Imagine they were transplanted into the 90s, they would make a mockery of the likes of Bowe, Moorer, Golota, Tua and co and also beat the upper echelon. In terms of Foreman himself, he still carried power, Throughout the 80s and 90s he could still punch and punch damn hard. No one felt comfortable trading with him. Holy made it through on grit, age and a great chin. Moorer couldnt. Moorer took a dive plain and simple.

Because Foreman is a legend, the 90's heavyweight era is very overrated. 70's era of heavyweights was the best era

Foreman found a style with Archie Moore that worked so well for him. The cross arm defence when your 6foot 4 with 20inch arms and massive power are a serious proposition for anyone.

Because Foreman is the legend and 90`s were not so good. Yes, 70`s era is the best. 90`s were pretty poor. The 90s looks like the golden age compared to this era though. On the whole the best guys fought each other.

... 90's Old George> 70's Big George. Nah... That's too much... Old George wasn't the same fighter he is 70's. 90's version of Foreman couldn't move and was standing infront of opposition most of the times, taking punches to face. Chin was there though. Meanwhile his loss vs. Ali was a sensation.

"Era of....", sure, but he didn't beat any of those guys. His big win, Moorer, was a notch below IMO. Foreman was 42 y.o. when he fought young & prime Holyfield, and was 45 y.o. when he beat Moorer in 1994. He was far from that Foreman who destroyed anyone except Ali in 1970's.

Gil Clancy said Foreman was always nervous and it affected his stamina when he was younger. When he made his comeback he was more relaxed. Watch how relaxed and focused against Moorer, he was way down on the scorecards, but believed in his power and didn't chase Moorer around or get anxious. Waited for the perfect moment.
