    Robinson would have been crucified on the net, methinks. The debate about whether he was really p4p number one of all time would have been fun to read, because no matter how good you are, haters are always gonna hate.

    The erudite Archie Moore would have put the net to good use and probably maneuvered his way into a title shot a bit sooner simply because of his ability to conduct ruthless publicity campaigns through that medium.

    Classic Mexico-PR match ups like Sanchez-Gomez would have generated a ton of threads, and the banter between the two sides would likely get pretty nasty. Sanchez's death would have created a ton of conversation, too.

    Mass chaos:
    Holyfield-Tyson II
    Douglas-Tyson
    Bowe-Golota I & II

    Start of mass threads about being "exposed" or "washed up":
    Foreman-Frazier
    Leonard-Duran I & II
    Hearns-Duran
    Ali-Foreman

    Huge arguments:
    Ali-Frazier III
    Hagler-Leonard
    Lewis-Klitschko

    ESB wasn't here then, but I believe the Ultimate Golota Forum was rocking at that time.

    No Mas would have done wonders... Duran now days would be required to kill Hagler in the ring to make people forget about that.. and even then probably not.
