People may charge me, possibly quite rightly, of lacking a contemporary view of boxing in the 21st Century. But even I accept that the ending of a challenger needing to dominate a champion to get a points win, is a good thing. And virtually everybody was saying as far back as Holyfield/BoweII it was a good thing.
