    Let's say we had internet & Eastside boxing 100+ years ago.

    What would be your top 5 fights that would have caused the site to crash due to overload?

    Only 5? Some that I don't think were mentioned:

    Willard - Johnson
    Carnera - Sharkey 2
    Johansson - Machen
    ALI - LISTON 2 (It STILL causes meltdowns here)
    Foreman - Frazier 1

    Would've been quite entertaining to watch the fallout from Holyfield v Tyson 2.
