What kind of championship reign would you rather have?

[kendom]

If you were a boxing champion what kind of reign would you rather have, a Joe Louis, Armstrong, Monzon, where you dominate elite competition and rack up impressive streaks of defences, OR would you rather be like a Muhammad Ali in the 70s or Sugar Ray Leonard or Holyfield where you face ATG competition- Im talking hall of famers and have rivals who push you to your limit and have amazing trilogies with- you don't look as invincible but you're legacy is cemented by the incredible quality of your competition.

So what would you rather have?

Domination. Anyone who says they'd happily partake in the Thrilla in Manilla is a ****** or lying.

I'd rather BE dominating, but I'd rather SEE Champions face ATGs.

LOL that about sums it up

That sounds about right. Although a guy just destroying all comers is fun to watch too.

Depends on the level of competition at said fighter's weight during his era. If there's a great deal of talent there, defenses are better. If the talent is lackluster, better to go against other greats in nearby divisions.

Marvin Hagler was BOTH.

He dominated his weight class against all comers and fought the ATGs of his era in Hearns, Duran, and Leonard.

Maybe it's just me, but dominating sounds better to me than struggling. Unless the competition being dominated is a joke. And that wasn't the case with the fighters listed (Monzon, Louis, etc.) But most of all I'd want to make money.

If it were me, I would get a WBC title without fighting someone ranked. Then I would reel off 20 defenses before fighting a manditory. I would have to give most of my money to the WBC to make it happen but that way people would start threads comparing me to Ray Robinson.
