What's the worst stoppages of all time?

- -Blame dumpy Duva, not Steele. Not only screaming at Taylor that distracted him from Steele, but in the middle of the ring apron, an automatic DQ is 99% of boxing jurisdictions.

Ali/Liston 2 a French Farce officiating by Walcott and interference by Nat Fleischer and Ali/Lyle where Lyle was not allowed to ropa a dopa Ali.

May/Vic Ortiz the worst staged KO in a title fight that I can recall.

I dunno if Ortiz ko was staged.

I think Ortiz was just re tarded.

The problem is, Taylor suddenly folded in the last portion of the final round. Until that point he was winning.

He might have been winning on the scorecards but he was getting beat up.

After having to watch several john ruiz title fights

I honestly wish the ref let tua-ruiz go another 5-6 rounds

Fury Wilder 1 was the worst. Fury wasn’t even up at 10. Fight should have been stopped

[Tatabanya]

He might have been winning on the scorecards but he was getting beat up.

Yes he was. I did agree with the stoppage, in fact. I meant to say that Taylor was unlucky in controlling the fight and ending with his tank empty all of a sudden in the final minute.

My vote is the ref in Oquendo- Ruiz, and the ref in Calzaghe- Manfredo jr.

I was going to mention Calzaghe-Manfredo.

Not that Mandredo had a real chance but he was on a good run before he ran into Calzaghe. It was as if the referee was just looking for a reason to call a stoppage. Prick probably had money on the fight.

oh well. Classic British stoppage lol

You think steele was paid off?

Chavez was don king fighter


Or more steele dumbass didn't realize how little time is left?

a year later he stopped the Tyson vs Ruddock fight as soon as ruddock got hurt. This was a fight that Ruddock was giving it to tyson as good as he received. Even hit him, and stunned him in the previous round when Tyson tried to taunt him. As soon as the round began, Tyson got him in trouble and he stopped it immediately. Then there was the Quincy Taylor vs Keith Holmes fight when ANOTHER questionable stoppage that benefitted a king fighter(Holmes). You can't find the holmes vs Taylor fight anywhere online. I have it on vhs somewhere.

The point is that Richard Steele is always in these situations of bad stoppages involving King fighters. How does this happen so much?

He might have been winning on the scorecards but he was getting beat up.

So if the Ref would have stopped Bradley vs Provodnikov with 3 seconds left after the knockdown late in the 12th, that would have been a justified stoppage? Same situation...

Pacquiao should have never fought jmm 3 more times.

I had him winning the 1st jmm fight tko1.

there was no 3 knockdown rule lol.

[Left Hook Tua]

there was no 3 knockdown rule lol.

Imagine if there was a 3 KD rule in the 1st fight?

We would have missed 4 great fights

I think all 4 was foty candidates
