The violence of punches, knees and elbows to the face is the turn-off for most. The standing 8-count makes boxing less brutal to the casual spectator.
When someone gets knocks silly and then gets pounced on and punched when he is defenseless until the ref pulls him off is just too much for many.

You could argue what overall is the pinnacle in sport, but as far as High School and Collegiate sports, nothing still compares to wrestling.
