    KO v TKO is a meaningless comparison as an indication of power. Notwithstanding the fact that the quality of opponent isn’t taken into consideration, you can knock someone completely cold and it could be immediately waved off as a TKO (particularly in the really bad ones such as Mercer v Morrison). KO only means they stayed down for the full 10 count without any ref intervention. Equally you have a situation like in the AJ v Martin fight where Charles Martin wasn’t particularly hurt but failed to beat the count, thus registering a KO win for Joshua.

    Doesn't explain the rest of his career nor does it explain Marciano's career.

    I'm from Dixie. Y'all tell me all the time what it's like in dixie, how we must be connected because it's still America etc. It makes sense to me because I've lived the moneyline myself.

    I'm saying you're cherry picking instances in an attempt to negate trend. AJ has a slew of TKOs which is more normal in boxing. Wilder has a slew of KOs, kind of an oddity only really shared with Marciano in the division.

    If your hate is so much that you can't have a conversation about him, explain why AJ has more TKOs while Marciano has more KOs both early while feasting on no hopers and late while making a name on old champions. "Because Martin sat on ass" doesn't answer much of dick really.

    Same to you.

    Explain the primary difference in Marciano's career and Joshua's that isn't found in Wilder's career.

    Joshua fought shitty fighter early in his career then later took out a decent contender, an old champion, and made a decent defense.

    Marciano fought shitty fighters early in his career then later took out peer contenders, old champions, and made decent defenses.

    They should have a pretty similar KO to TKO breakdown shouldn't they? Unless for some reason AJ's style of fighting gives referees more time to call off a fight than Marciano did.

    I mean, yes I realize England calls them faster than America and the 21st century calls them way faster than 20th, but Joshua's the norm here not Marciano or Wilder. So England doesn't explain say Parker, or Wlad, or Foreman, or Tyson.

    Re Marciano, that’s easily explained. 1. Quality of oppoosition. 2. Fights were longer 3. Refs were less inclined to intervene until someone was unconscious. 4. The mob/fight fixing

    As for Joshua, what do you think would have happened if the ref hadn’t intervened for all those TKOs?

    Your argument is demonstrably flawed.

    What are you talking about? That's not even an attempt to explain.

    I'm sorry bud, I'm really not trying to be a dick here but I think you misunderstood me. I'll try to reword and be as concise as possible:

    Why do Marciano and Wilder share a similarity in KO and TKO ratio when Marciano and Joshua share much more in terms of career path?

    Is it flawed? Seems to me like y'all're bit stuck on criticism. You focus solely on criticism and have a hard time following narrative.

    You realize Wilder is hitting his opposition more right?

    It takes Joshua half the time it does Wilder and Wilder has not fought anyone with a good chin yet besides Duhaupas who he hit with everything for 11 rounds and still basically made him quit with 140 flush shots to the head.

    Joshua has stopped the more prime, more proven guys to stop. He battered Takam in one round in the 4th with about 20 punches the bell saved him in all likleyhood . Let's see Wilder do that to him and with 2 weeks notice.

    When you compare things like this you also take similar opposition.

    In this case Molina who Joshua toyed with and stopped much sooner and Gavern who said Joshua hits harder.

    Whyte, Breazeale, alone are far harder guys to K.O than anyone on Wilders resume. I'd also like to know how actually the Breazeale fight was not a K.O ( officially ) BC he wasn't getting up and went down before the ref waved it off.

    You are also misleading BC Joshua has stepped up competition by his 13th fight.....and stopped a guy who never was stopped before, the bell actually saved him in the 1st round.

    Wilder stepped up by his 28th fight. All the guys Wilder K.O'd were not as good as the guys Joshua did.

    Also the only reason Wilder was awarded a K.O over Molina is BC the ref was on the other side of the ring and he literally fell over the ropes from a right hand but got up with little problems.

    This is from exhaustion taking shots for 9 rounds , its clear as day who hit Molina harder in less rounds.

    The only clear difference is the reffing in the U.K stop fights sooner.....this cannot be used as leverage of who hits harder when the stats alone show who does.

    How about a counter to this stupid arguement?

    TKO > KO......Why?

    The referee isn't even willing to give a 10 count the opposition is so badly hurt.

    Are you prepared to claim AJ hits more often than Marciano as well?

    I think you guys are leaving that parrell out on purpose because it nerfs easy answers.

    It can't possibly be a case of AJ having an abnormal amount of early ref stoppages, being from the UK, hitting more often, or anything else you want to claim AJ does. Nothing about Joshua's KO to TKO ratio is abnormal.

    You guys keep making excuses for AJ not getting the KO and you're missing the point entirely. Why AJ gets TKOs more often than KOs is obvious, that's what most knockout artists get. That's what you should expect to see.

    All that's gone on here is a gaggle of halfwits have stepped with half-assed excuses because you can't handle allowing Wilder to be called special in any regard.

    What do HWs who get KOs more often than TKOs have in common? Something Joshua doesn't share and that's all that really has you bothered. Y'all can't admit AJ isn't top in every single aspect no matter how nominal or unimportant it is. And the kicker is you call yourselves grown ass men.


    No doubt like Opinion you'll just shift gears and try to take shine elsewhere with reaching statements.

    :lol: Oh Opinion, yer a funny scamp.

    Let's review.

    First it's because of level of competition, then it became top ten, then it went to money, then it went to cherry picked details of Joshua's and Wilder's resumes forgetting I left a total of 8 to start off the convo because we all know yer not here to actually discuss Wilder ratio and what that means in historical context but rather do whatever you can to assure Joshua looks better at all times.

    Now we find ourselves at TKO>KO :lol: alright, do me a favor and explain how that notion is counter intuitive to the claim that Wilder's got one of the KO friendliest ratios the division has ever seen and that comes from putting power ahead of defense?

    TKO's can be your personal favorite, hell they can be empirically ruled more dangerous situations, that wouldn't change the fact that having a KO heavy ratio is rare, nor does it address the assertion that that is due to energy transfer.

    :lol:

    Hmm, I get you, bit different from what I'm talking about.

    Actual knocked unconscious numbers would be interesting but I'm talking about ending the fight in your opponent versus the ref or time ending the fight. It's why I included RTDs, which I dunno why no one gives a **** about the RTDs in this conversation but I think of them as more impressive than TKOs myself.

    If you're more interested in a sited breakdown of every truly knocked to sleep KO, well, so am I. but my dude look at the eight guys I mentioned. It'd take some time to write that breakdown let alone research it. I agree that real, sleeping, KOs would be the best example but I don't think there's a source for that so I'd have to put it together myself, and to really appreciate the scope of it I'd have to do at least a few more than just AJ and Wilder for some reference points.


    That said, I'm down actually. I'll make another thread, give me the names to breakdown and let's see who is the king of shutting off lights. I assume Wilder and AJ but who else should I include to establish what are the norms for the HW division and who today is exceptional?
