If there was already boxing forums in the 80's...

What would that be like? I mean there were a lot of really good boxers at that time, there were great rivalries, boxing was thriving and no other contact sport took fans away from boxing. If there was already internet at that time and forums like this was already up, can you imagine how crazy that would have been?

You would have people calling Duran a bum.

Nope. I can't. Woulda' been crazy. That's for sure. Imagine the flame wars over the result of Hagler vs Leonard.

Yeah, even worse than Pacman vs. Marquez.

....Yup

[lefthook2daliva]

Everyone would hate SRL.

Nah. SRL would go to war when pressed. His first loss was a toe to toe battle vs Duran and he fought that way just for pride and the fans. Most fans would love him.

[KostyaTszyu44]

SRL would get a TON of hate

duran would get rubbished

ther only reason todays boxers get so much crap is that there are so many outlets to vent in

[badboypeenoy]

I boards would've gone crazy after Duran won over SRL.

[Fighting Pride]

There would be alot of idiots calling Aaron Pryor a fraud

In the late 80s there'd be millions of threads on how Mike Tyson would KTFO anything - from Joe Louis, to a gorilla, to a freight train.
