95% of the sporting public couldn't have told you who was fighting. The heavyweight champion used to be THE premier sporting figure in the world. The smaller divisions were extremely well known. Now? No one has any idea who the heavyweight champion is. I can't. And I'm much more of a sports fan than the average Joe. There's not a single boxer in the world who gets the general public excited.

All of what you said is a product of having pretty much unlimited access to any and all sporting events you want to see at your fingertips.
If boxing isn’t great now then it never was great. The HW champ being THE premier sporting figure was just an illusion
