    How many legitimate or defensible Calzaghe stoppages can you find?

    So far I have been able to find videos of only 2 stoppages Joe had which I can defend, anyone find anymore?

          It doesn't matter if Joe was going to win, I am having trouble finding more than 2 stoppages he recorded that weren't hometown refs aiding him.

              Bernard Hopkins took a knee on two occasions for more than 10 seconds. The man quit.

              Sir Joe was robbed of a stoppage win in America.

                If its any consolation, the Lacy fight should have been stopped after the 8th round.

                  All of Calzaghes stoppages were legitimate.

                  A referee is there to prevent fighters from taking unnesasary punishment.

                  The one time a ref didn't do their job was in the Lacy fight, which should have been stopped because lacy took lasting and unnesasary punishment.

                  Before the fight Lacy was "too slick, too black" he was "P4P material" and would "expose the eurobum calzaghe" he was a "real american" and would bring that title back to the good ol' USA, wearing the red white and blue

                  After the fight Lacy became a bum, a fraud, he was never any good.

                  And the psyche of the american fight fan became so shattered after watching their great ope get taken to school, that they from that day forth would become obsessed with proving that joe wasn't very good.
