Why do some boxers get praised for winning by decision whilst others get discredited?

    Why does this double, triple or more of those standards exist among boxing fans? When one boxer wins a decision by shutout, winning every round in the process. They get criticized for being exposed or lacking this or that ability. Whilst when other boxers accomplish this exact same feat. They are credited and praised for displaying 'high level boxing skills'.

    An example of this would be Artur Beterbiev taking 12 rounds to stop Enrico Koelling. Despite Beterbiev winning every round comfortably until the 12th where he eventually dropped and finished off Koelling. Some of the fans are discrediting Beterbiev for apparently being 'exposed' or 'not being good enough' or 'lacking x, y or z ability'. Another similar example is Alexander Povetkin beating Christian Hammer by shutout 12 rounds decision and ends up being discredited similarly to how Beterbiev was discredited by those fans after his win over Koelling.

    Yet, when Andre Ward beats someone like Alexander Brand or Sullivan Barrera by decision. It somehow apparently shows Andre Ward is such a 'skilled boxer' with such 'high level boxing abilities', according to those same fans discrediting decision victories of Beterbiev and Povetkin. Even though Andre Ward pretty much accomplished the same feat as the other two boxers?

    Why do these multiple standards exist for different boxers? Why can't every boxer be judged / evaluated by the same standard?

    Pac vs Mosley
    Floyd vs Mosley

    Pac got discredited for knocking down and winning every rounds.

    Floyd got credited for being almost knock down and winning the decision.
    Well maybe that's because Floyd was fighting the Lineal champion Mosley who just destroyed the feared Margarito... while pacquiao was fighting The washed up Mayweather leftovers who had a draw with Sergio Mora.

        Pacquiao always in Mayweathers shadow. He likes it there. He liked it so much he stayed there for 5 years. A true fart catcher.

                  It can be given by the AAA for all i care. Mayweather is going down as the greater fighter. While the fart catcher fights on getting beat by school teachers. How the mighty have fallen.

                    Well mayweather certainly cares. You see how mad he is when the BWAA give the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE AWARD to pac.

                      He was right though. He deserved it. So he had to go and prove without a doubt he was the best of his era. Now almost all writers etc have him as the best of his era and a topp 10 ATG. While fart catcher gradually tumbles down the lists.
