Why do slick boxers show boat and not pressure fighters? Sometimes Pressure guys show boat a bit. But it happens way more with slick guys.
because slick boxers don't sit down on their punches so they can't hurt you.
frazier did against ali in their first fight. at some point he ducked a couple jabs, tapped his head and grinned, then dropped his hands and kept ducking under punches.
I like it better when a guy showboats and taunts within range. Wow, you showboat when you're out of range. Big fukking deal.

Psychology. Many times the thinking is if I showboat it will make him madder, therefore making him trying to punch me harder which will make him miss even more.
Yeah I agree. But it could work vice versa also. If the slick guy gets mad he might not avoid the punch.
Still they have some time. Its not like they are going to get hit, because the guy is moving away in most cases. Its more risky for the slick guy to show boat. If they can make the slick guy mad maybe he would stand and fight more.Or make a mistake.
Because its their style. Pressure fighters on the other hand are more flatfooted, so they're forced to put forth pressure at all times or else they won't be able to keep up.
