Why Wlad's reign is of no significance

First topic message reminder :

I get a little tired of people telling me that Wlad's reign as HW Champ is significant. All they can point to is longevity, that's it.

Here is why is doesn't matter:

He has lost to three journeyman in the worst era of HW boxing.
He cheats to win. Leaning all over opponents the way he does is cheating, plain and simple. His performance versus Povetkin was one of the most disgraceful performances I have ever seen.
He has zero wins of significance on his record. And the best wins he has were not inspiring (see Povetkin).
He cannot fight inside at all.
He fights scared.
He doesn't inspire, in fact, he turns people away from the sport.

Wlad is not a great champ, and as for these p4p rankings I see him in, does anybody believe Wlad would compete on a p4p level? Nope.

As a man, i am sure he is a decent fella, but let's not pretend his reign is meaningful.

Longevity of reign is not always an indicator of quality, sometimes it's just a measure of time.

Yes, I said even if had beaten him again, it would have been atleast close, but most importantly no one else to fight, so if he continued he would ended up fighting vitali for the 3rd time because Vitali would clearly be the 2nd best fighter

What happens if he beats him for the third time does he fight him again?

probably not, Depends how easily, fact of the matter, the HW division was very poor until 2005-2007. how many guys could lewis actually fight.
