Scenario: Wlad Klitschko knocked out by a ''lucky punch'' - good or bad for boxing?

We're not talking a very good fighter having the gameplan to beat Wlad Klitschko, because that would clearly be great for boxing, but we're talking a fighter who would get beaten up/knocked out by WK 19 times out of 20 finding that one ''lucky punch'' and knocking WK out. Would this be good or bad for boxing, in your opinion?

 

- Generating unrealistic expectations of that "lucky" fighter which are then thwarted in embarrassing fashion, putting a damper on the HW division as a whole
- "Cheating'' WK out of a win he would normally ''deserve" and staining his resume, lowering the shine of the resumes of WK's opponents and in turn of the division as a whole during this era...
- forcing WK to retire earlier than usual, leading to the generation of lower purses for the division as a whole
- taking the shine off the WK brand, leading to less interest from casual fans/ networks in the division as a whole

...that kind of thing.

 

I cannot see how such a shocking event like that could be irrelevant. It wouldn't be irrelevant on ESB, that's for sure.

Would the people who pay good money to see WK toy with and then knock out yet another no-hoper think it would be good for boxing too?

I cannot see how people can get excited about one of his typical fights. But if they can, then they could conceivably think it would be bad for boxing, no?:!:
