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

[ironmike2012]

Wow you know your boxing!
1 Foreman didn't dominate, he survived. He got beat by Alex Stewart (Tyson KO'd in 1 round) and Tommy Morrison (he outboxed him, because he was scared of power) and was getting beat bad by Moorer (light heavyweight) until he landed a hail mary (kind of).
2 Holmes is my boy, but he only beat Ray Mercer in the 90's, didn't win a major belt.

So to sum it up, neither fighter dominated in the 90's, but they did well, neither got stopped, that is a huge thing because of the power of the division.

Funny how 45/yr old Foreman knocked out Micheal Moorer who defeated Holyfield.

But grandad from Bondoocks didn’t dominate tho. LMAOOO

A lot of you like shiiiitting on this era but yer favourite era in the 90s was actually worse.

Do you know what the term “dominate” means?

How does winning one fight equate to dominating an era?

He was 1-3 against ranked fighters. Why would you consider that dominating?

He far from dominated.

What title did Larry Holmes win in the 90’s, by the way? You didn’t answer the question.

Boxers peak at the same age then as they do now. They did not dominate. What difference does it make if they were from the boondocks? Cars and airplanes will take them where ever they need to go. Pointless thread.

He won 2 of the 3 belts available by knocking out Moorer who beat the 2nd best HW of that era. When you hold 2 of the 3 belts - you're dominating.

Holmes was 43-yr old when he beat an undefeated Mercer who the best HW of that era went life/death with to win a majority decision. So he was close to the top in that era.

Holding two of the 3 belts is dominating an era? So you think Andy Ruiz has dominated this era?

I’ll ask again, are you actually aware what the term “dominate” means?

You said Larry Holmes won a world title in the 1990’s. Which title was that?

So beating Ray Mercer equates to dominating an era? You’re aware that Jesse Ferguson beat Ray Mercer in the 90’s right?

I struggle to believe you’re even serious.

Well, Andy Ruiz is one of the best of this era by virtue of beating the unified champ despite the fact that he lost it 6months later.

Don’t ask me a ****** question. I think your problem is semantics and I doubt you know what that means. The man beat a worthy champion who defeated the 2nd best HW of that era and actually defended the belt (something a guy like Tyson Fury has NEVER done). When you win a worthy title - that means you’re dominant.

Dominant = Dominance = Domination. Stop arguing semantics!

Take yer tears to the guys who claimed this is the worst era of HW like the 90s wasn’t worse with two grandads from Bondoocks in their 40s beating up champs and contenders. Even self-proclaimed baddest man on the planet was past his prime by age 23. The 3rd best HW of the era got his career ended by some Eurobum from Poland.

Fu...ck the overrated 90s!

So you believe Andy Ruiz dominated this era. Ok glad we cleared that up

What title did Larry Holmes win in the 1990’s? You still haven’t answered.

Winning a notable title means dominating? So how many people have dominated boxing over the last 50 years? Hundreds?

I would suggest for you to refer to an online dictionary immediately.
