I'm not saying that lasting that long (10 years) was not a feat in itself. Anybody can come out of the woodwork and beat a champ on any given day... and HW punches are more prone to cause 1-punch knockouts in general than in other weight classes. But what you say can easily apply to anybody who holds the HW title. It doesn't have to be a dull, boring, torturous affair. Lewis and Tyson, guys you mentioned, were very successful at the top, and dominant in their own time. Yet people enjoyed watching them fight. Why? Because although they paid attention to defense in their own way, they were also quite a bit into offensive fighting.... actually trying to knock the other guy out. Sometimes in the process they would engage in toe-to-toe exchanges, with each guy giving as good as he took. That could never happen with Wlad. The moment he took a decent one on the chin, he'd be down and out. He knows this..... so he fights like crap. The fact he's knocked out so many opponents is a testament to how little resistance they've put up when in the ring. Of the few exceptions, you had guys like Povetkin, who came in to make an honest effort to win, and what did Wlad do? Turn the fight into a "foul-fest". There's no way you can make a comparison between the quality of Lewis and Mike Tyson fights and Wlad fights and have Wlad look good. No way. Lewis' and Tyson's fights were exciting, and they brought fans to HW boxing. Wlad's fights have turned people off from the division.
