Why domination is not appreciated by boxing fans

Example in football all people respect how Ronaldo Messi dominate football or Lebron Basketball In boxing basically you fight all top guys available knock them very easy was considered you fight bums if you fight live death fight people will appreciated you more? Why dominant champion catch a lot of flack, but thats the reality of dominating any era, all your competition looks like garbage because they never get a chance to It happened with Larry Holmes as well, who in retrospect was quite an excellent fighter. Ali is a rare exception because he was forced to sit out and his rivals were given a chance to make names for themselves

Boxing is the only sport where you don't get credit for being a dominant . fans are so dumb that they only give you credit if you win in close wars against your opponents because then your opponents look better and enhance your own status. They are more ignorant than dumb they just don't understand what's happening, they just don't see it so lots don't enter their brain, but they can all see the Club landing on someone's head lol.

Domination is the only thing the vast majority of fans can see, the rest you gotta know the sport inside out to see what's really going on. Two greats can have a high-level chess match showing superb high-level boxing with countless traps and subtle strategies, the average fan boos this while he was in a frenzy during the prelim where two cavemen were clubbing each other for 10 rounds.

This why a fighter needs a comeback, or a come from behind, or an avenged defeat. Boxing deals with character on a different level to most sports. Facing a man who has knocked you out is a very different sporting proposition to what most elite athletes face.

LeBron is like 4-6 in the Finals that’s hardly dominant. Fantastic player and of the greatest ever individually but he’s never dominated the game like Jordan did, or even how Russell did in the 60’s. His longevity is insane anyway my points is why boxing fans think winning in close fights makes your resume better and your own status and is better than KO someone in 1 2 rounds why boxing fans doesn't appreciated domination why boxing fans appreciated more life death fights
