Can people stop trying to outbox superior boxers?

Joshua foolishly tried to outbox Usyk, which completely backfired. George Kambozo stayed at mid range all night and refused to change tactics attempting to box with Haney. Both guys refused to press the issue and neither attempted to go for the KO despite being way behind on the cards.

The corners didn't say anything of substance either. There should have been a plan B, and the fighters should have been ready to get their hands dirty if necessary.

Next time I see a fight where it's a master boxer putting on a clinic and the opponent is just following them around the ring content to lose on points, I'm not going to bother watching the rest. It was not Haney's job to stop what he was doing when it was working to make it entertaining, Kambozo was the champion and acted as if he didn't want the belts anymore. Or maybe he was just utterly clueless.

He was just utterly out classed.

I agree with all your points. But to be fair you have named the greatest fighters in history. Those guys are HOF all timers. Not many guys have the total package like them.

Then maybe people should stop claiming boxing has "evolved" and left such "primitive" fighters behind if none of the current elites can't make adjustments like them? The moment Haney started keeping George at the end of his jab, the fight was over!
