    How did 45-yr old Foreman and 43-yo Holmes dominate the 90s?

    Technology wasn’t even that advanced then yet the two grandads from Bondoocks became world champions. That was the same era where a boxer peaked at age 23. LMAOOO.

    90s HW era has to be the most overrated era. When it’s said and done, I’d put this era above it tbh.

        So did Wilder and Charles Martin dominate in a way too?

        Those guys ain't dominate nothing, but what they did especially Foremon was impressive no doubt

          You’re going to have to remind me what World Title Larry Holmes won in the 1990’s.

          Foreman won the title, certainly far from dominated the era. 1-3 record against ranked fighters.

            They didn't. They gave good accounts of themselves though. Just because Foreman got a belt doesn't mean he dominated the 90s.

                    He was 38. Far from mid 30s he was done at the top level.
