my dad has this shyt on vhs. simple backstory: larry talks trash to tyson saying hes going down in history and tyson will go down as a SOB; tyson wanted to get revenge for the beating larry gave ali in 1980 with ali being in attendance... larry looked good but age and inactivity took over and tyson KTFO....only time larry was ever stopped...considering what he did in the 90s that is impressivr

I'll never forget watching that fight at my boys parents house. Especially in the third round when Larry tried to bounce around the ring, reliving his old days. 
He dropped like a sack of grain the next round.

Keep in mind Larry Holmes was a 38-year old fighter who had been inactive for 2 years
Like everyone else here, I chuckle when the phrase "Larry Holmes status" is invoked. The image of the past-his-prime, chubby Holmes of the early 90s sums up what it means to be a (semi) washed-up former great better than anything else I can think of.
But lets also acknowledge the flabby and sick "Larry Holmes" version of Larry Holmes. In his 40s, he gave Holyfield and McCall good fights when the title was on the line, and he beat up Ray Mercer (who was considered one of the top contenders of the time at one point). Not bad.

I always thought he held up pretty well in this fight. 
Tyson actually said having the name "Larry Holmes" on his résumé looked good but the man he battered wasn't the real Larry Holmes.
