Today we still have super fights and some fighters do fight the top guys , the game is different where a great can be lost in space because of mass media.
Fans have a very hype molded sense of greatness making it so that greatness can be in front of their faces and they dont even know it.

Ali, Holyfield, Tyson, JCC, ODLH, etc.
Why is that?
Needed his security team just to whoop his baby mama in front of his kids.
No real man would ever lift a finger against a woman much less traumatize his kids.

Other fighters get turned off because he breaks contractual agreements and makes demands over his opponents. Things like picking his opponents glove type close to the fight, coming in overweight, bringing in shady drug testing agency over NSAC's own company, etc. I can understand a fighters reasons for making demands to protect himself but don't look like a hypocrite when you break the rules yourself with coming in overweight and getting caught using a masking agent before the fight.
In a sport where the fighters are exploited, he did the exploiting. He got paid, he got people paid, the PBC was founded on his labor. The PBC has enabled rivals and friends to better their situation.
Despite the support of the boxing media he was able to make the most money in sports.
In short, he was dominant in ring, out of ring and maintained his health. That is the goal of EVERY boxer
