Who has a better KOs, TKOs, & RTD ratio than Wilder?

Yep. Lots of face first guys on that opponent list. Actually, I cannot think of 1 guy he's fought that is good defensively. This isn't even getting into things like mobility or footwork====just a bunch of face first guys everyone hits with their punches.

Seriously---who would be the best defensive fighter from all of those opponents? Would that particular fighter have what could be called a mediocre defense?

But if he keeps doing what he has been doing, soon he will approach another heavyweight with lofty numbers--and long since forgotten--Lamar Clark.

 

A KO does not demonstrate more power than a TKO.....

 

Well firstly, the ref does a terrible job in the first clip.

1 - Marciano hits Walcott when Walcott is on 1 knee.
2 - A count when Walcott is seriously hurt is awful refereeing.

Secondly, the ref did everything he could in the Klitschko v Joshua fight to ensure Klitschko was allowed to continue. He was giving Wlad 10 second counts followed by 5 seconds of checking his gloves after every KD.


Finally, I could post videos of Joshua beating opponents where they were on the floor unable to get up yet ruled a TKO. Likewise i could post videos of Wilder beating an opponent, where the opponent would be able to beat the 10 count, but the referee not giving him a chance.


A KO is not a 'bettter win' or evidence of 'real power' compared to a TKO.

 

Comparing modern day fights to fights of yesteryear is pointless when the game has changed so much, particularly in regard to fighter safety.

Marciano v Walcott is a particularly good example of this for two reasons:-

Had this fight been fought today, Walcott would have won by unanimous decision (he was up on all 3 scorecards going into the 13th round)

Assuming the fight wasn't limited to 12 rounds, then the ref would have jumped in, put Walcott in the recovery position and immediately waved the fight off, thereby registering a TKO win for Marciano.

There are far too many variables to consider when it comes to measuring punching power from a boxer's record (quality of opposition, referee, etc).

The only way to do it scientifically would be to measure it in a controlled environment. Otherwise it's purely subjective and totally useless as a measure of punching power. Therefore the TKO v KO argument is false.

And this isn't coming from any form of hate for Wilder. I think he probably does possess greater single punch power than Joshua while Joshua is naturally more heavy handed.

 

Huh?

Anyways. Point remains that Wilder's biggest test to date is a 52 year old heart patient

 

They've only shared the ring with one guy....Ask him which has the 'real power'.

 

It will never cease to amaze me the lows that Wilder fans will sink to in order to somehow make Wilder seem a more legitimate heavyweight than Joshua. The facts are simple. Joshua has won every fight within 12 rounds....Wilder hasn't. .Joshua has demonstrated 'real power' against some of the best in the division.....Wilder hasn't. Wlad, Vitali, Haye, Povetkin, Parker - 5 of the top 10 heavyweights in the world during his reign that he has never got in the ring with. He's happy fighting irrelevant nobodies for insignificant cheques and until that chanes, Wilder is an insignificant nobody. Even Jeff Horn has a better resume.

 

Any heavyweight or cruiserweight that fights the same quality of opponents that Wilder fights would have a better ratio! Hell, winos from the alley are easy to knock out!

 

The "one guy"?
