Dominant champions sometimes make it look too easy, that's just what happens. I mean when Michael Jordan dropped 63 points on the Boston Celtics in the playoffs of 1986, it looked easy, but that was THE Celtics....Bird, McHale, Parrish, Ainge, etc.

There are sometimes contenders who would do great in different eras and other times there's just a dearth of contenders. I think there have been some really solid fighters that Wlad has beaten, Sam Peter (when motivated) was extremely good, Chris Byrd was small but very capable I think he was underrated as a fighter to watch because he would utilize proper defense and throw flurries of punches, and Lamon Brewster was good although his time at the top was relatively short lived.
