The most neglected thing is allowing boxers to use PEDS. This doping scheme involves a lot of people. From the boxer, to the trainer, to the promoters, etc.

I would say the willingness to dare to be great. A lot of current fighters are missing that. There is a lot of hype leading up to just 1 mega event. In the past you had world champions constantly facing challenges and weren't scared to do so. This would result in constant mega fights and that said fighter would earn a reputation among the people.

Nowadays I feel like there is too much chatter, too much hyping a bout as if it's just 1 guy your career is guided to face and beat. It takes forever to get there and so many more matchups are missed or could have already happened if you would of faced said guy sooner instead of talking too much.
