If Canelo, AJ, Fury, Crawford etc had just gone in and demolished a guy in 2-3 rounds, you'd all be saying 'the opponent was a bum, it wasnt competitive enough'.
Perhaps in relative terms, there are very few who are really elite and the rest are just crapola that gets pushed as elite by good marketing?
when was the last time in mma, there were 2 guys who were equally as dominant over all others until they met each other..and then their fight was actually close?
Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier springs to mind, how many years ago was that?
meanwhile in boxing
we've had fury vs wilder already this yr. we've just recently had loma vs lopez.
we have usyk vs chisora, whyte vs povetkin 2, Daniel dubois vs Joe Joyce coming up in the HWs. There's also Parker vs Fa. There's AJ and Fury fighting in December. Spence jr vs danny garcia.
This was last night

see if the above was an mma/ufc fight, it would obv get promoted the **** out of and you'd be talking about it. the diff in boxing is, there's just too much with 4-5 top promotional outfits (inc Queensbury promotions in the uk in this).
truth is, there's just way too much going on in boxing and half the time i dont care about 'best fighting the best'. I enjoy stuff like watching Tom Little talk about potentially fighting Babic.
