    If the internet was as big in 99 as it is now, how would the internet community have reacted?

    Lots of nationalism and racism that's for sure.

    Great hype fight.

    Something like Austin/Canelo but slightly bigger.

    dlh would still be ridiculed for running those last few rounds and giving up the fight. he's also be condemned for not being mexican enough.

    Do you think it would have been a lot of Trinidad was overrated topics? Or people saying Oscar was robbed? Or that Oscar didn't do enough to win. How people go overboard on small fights nowadays, it would have been entertaining to see the reactions from this fight.

    The same way it reacts to any big fight that ends in a controversial decision.

    Lots of PPV fights nowadays. Doesn't mean ****.

    Mora vs Mosley was a PPV.

    check the numbers. dlh/trinidad broke a record with that one. it was the highest selling non-heavyweight ppv at the time.

    dlh/floyd broke that record.

    Same as they/we all did back then with what platform we had...
    We would blame Blame Don King.
