    I concur.

    Everyone remembers Tyson's demolition of Spinks, Louis' battering of Schmeling, Ali's wars with Frazier these were all significant and historic fights and talked about and watched repeatedly by later generations for many years to come.

    I can't see anyone doing the same with Wlad's key fights with Haye and Povetkin.

    The performance won't be forgotten it will become secondary to the fact he won in dominant fashion. Like I've pointed out it has been happening in boxing for over 100 years and has already started to happen in Wlad's case in his fights with Haye and Sultan-the win comes first and almost everything else second.
