It was very bad until recently. Last three years or so have been a step in the right direction.
It's not that all of these suck it's more like up until recently a lot of these top guys weren't fighting each other or they would maybe have one decent match-up all the while padding their record in hopes of getting a shot at Vitali or Wlad

Its definitely not the strongest.
But its made even worse by the top fighters (excluding WK) not fighting each other regularly enough.
The top contenders are more content sitting and waiting for a title shot rather than testing themselves.
How are we supposed to know if Fury/Wilder/Jennings/Pulev are actually top contenders if they arent fighting each other? (I left Povetkin off because he has been taking on some better opp recently, even so he hasnt fought any of the other top 5 guys)

However, the perception is that it's a 3/10, so for that reason it's heavily underrated.

Not complaining, US media should promote their own fighters. Just saying.

It's starting to improve although we still don't see enough fights between the top guys. t least the 80s had some solid match ups. Where's Pulev v Pov v Wilder v Jennings a bunch of other guys, they just wait around for the Wlad payday.
