I think it has to do with the way Vitor exploded into MMA. He just steamrolled through anyone who was put in front of him and it was awesome to watch his hand speed and aggressiveness. He has amazing potential, but he's always been missing the mental fortitude to outlast anyone who could withstand his initial flurry. I think people are less inclined to dismiss him b/c he's a very complete fighter physically and if he ever gets his head straight (which I don't see happening at this point in his career) he could still provide some entertaiing fights.
The Crow I think was exposed badly by Franklin and was a little overhyped to begin with. Arlovski will always carry the stigma of having a soft chin.
