What's Worst Stoppage Ever ??

[robjr]

calzaghe - manfredo, it don't matter really anyway, manfredo stood no chance

doesnt change the fact of it being a ridiculous stoppage.. besides.. Joe apparantly hurt his hand bad in that barrage of slaps.. could of changed the fight..

I don't agree with the stoppage, but the way Joe was going, you think he would have stopped throwing? I think there was some time left in that round, a few more seconds IMO and Manfredo would eventually eat flush shots. He couldn't have escaped from that round. The ref should have stopped it later, but the end was inevitable.

Are you serious?

Joe would have beaten Manfredo with one hand easily anyway.

I was talking about Steele stopping it. I thik it really ****ed him up insted of "saving him" as that guy said. There was probably permanet damage from Chavez, but Taylor might have never gotten into legal troubles or fight have long as he did.

What part of the fight do you think that Steele should have stopped the fight(earlier)? And are you sure you are from Philly? You sure don't seem like it

Taylor was still a good fighter after losing to Chavez. Not quite the same, but still good enough to move up in weight and beat an undefeated champ.

Taylor took too much punishment in general. The Chavez fight was the main one that did it, but Philly is known for gym wars, and it's easy to see Taylor being in some brutal sparring sessions. Sparring plays a big role in guys getting brain damaged as well.

yeah, but manfredo deserved to not get stopped by the slapper

[Derranged]

Manfredo wasn't fighting back. It wasn't all that bad of a stoppage.

Although he wasn't really hurt, because he wasn't fighting back it appeared he might have been hurt. That fight should never have happened - it was a ridiculous mismatch.

This might be one of the better lines you've written in a while
