Hahaha, KO? You have to know boxing and not just go by simple words like "KO" and pull a fast one. He was winning most of the rounds before the "RTD" & "TKO" losses, NOT "KO" loss. He was dominating byrd and had an injury which is really more of a bad luck than anything, same with lennox lewis fight with that cut. He was never dropped or dominated in those fights. I always see him as the more polished, tougher and skilful klitchko.Comment

Joshua went life and death with 41 old version of Wladimir. 2 years younger Wladimir would stop Joshua.Comment

agreed, i remember the turning point too.
the hw division seemingly overnight changed its skin and became a glamour division with some healthy marketing and media attention. we cant just ignore that a shot, 40 year old wlad went toe-to-toe with 2 of the current best.Comment

Also, he came directly into this match from his (informal) retirement after the Fury fight in 2015. Did not take any tune-up fights to get his conditioning and stamina right.
Making a ring return, at 41 years of age, and without tune-up fights was always going to be risky.Comment
