Lennox had his exciting moments same as anyone else, but with Wladimir nobody ever even acknowledges anything positive Wladimir does. I don't expect you to come around and start to like Wladimir, Hulk. I can only hope the Klitschko bashing ebbs with time. There are times when I get a little impatient with the way Wlad fights (Rahman, Sultan, Chagaev) but I'm never not impressed by how Wlad stymies such fighters. But recently Wladimir's opponents have come to the ring to cash out, they haven't tried to win, they haven't done anything other than try to survive and there's not much Wlad can do about his opponents.
The last fighter that actually FOUGHT Wladimir and tried to win was Tony Thompson and before that Calvin Brock gave Wlad as good of a fight as he could muster. Other than that recently guys have just been trying to survive, but should Wlad let his guard down entirely the consequences could be very severe.
As for comparing Wlad to American heavyweights, you just can't expect Wlad to fight like Dempsey or Tyson it's moronic. Even when Wlad opened up the offense in the past (before he switched trainers) he hasn't gotten any respect.
