What's Worst Stoppage Ever ??

[Scott9945]

referee steele saved taylor life by stopping it imo
still i have to say the one on versus last thursday the mexican dude wasnt even hurt

How the hell could he have saved his life if there wasn't even enough time left for Chavez to land a punch?

Saved his life??? He basically killed him. Taylor was never the same after that.

I think it's more Lou Duva's fault then the ref's. Taylor didn't respond because Lou was shouting at him and Taylor was focused there. That or he was knocked out. The stoppage was correct, but at the same time horrifying because of what it did to Taylor afterwards.

Taylor won the welterweight title afterwards. People are talking like he was in a wheelchair or something. That wasn't the last KO Meldrick suffered. His current condition reflects all of that, and it wasn't all due to the Chavez robbery.

what ya think is the worst stoppage in boxing ever??

Ay, not for nothing, but I still believe the ref should have given Zab Judah a standing eight count against Kosta Zyu. Sure he was all dazed and all, but I still think he sould've been given the opportunity to recover, If, and "ONLY IF" he was still wobbling after EIGHT, then the ref should have waved it off. The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, had the "no three knock down rule", the standing eight count rule was in affect, he just couldn't be saved by the bell, in any round.

Yeah, but it affected his mental aspect big time.

No. Judah was knocked down, then got back up, did the chicken dance, and fell back down a second time.

It was obviously a good stoppage.
