Khan v Prescott , I mean Khan just slipped , he wasnt even hurt and the ref dived in.
Well, even though it was 100% Judahs stupid fault against Kostya for not being professional enough to use the whole count, then rise clear headed; instead he was still all over the show on his feet right through the count.
I would have loved to have seen what would of unfolded after that famous and justified stoppage,if it could of been allowed to go on.
Eccles and Brewster was a classic back then that could of gone on for a few hits more too.
Hate the close ones cause youre left with that ,oh we'll never know now feeling.
as far as i remember what ever the sanctioning body the tzu judah fight was has a rule that if you get knocked down and get up and then fall over again then the fight will be stoppedQuote:

I think Manfredo deserved to be stopped anyway for being pathetic
One that always springs to mind is Tyson Ruddock. Not seen it for years but I remember Steele leaping in basically after the first punch landed (or something like that)
Am biassed but always thought Lewis Mccall was bad stoppage too. He was hurt and probably would have got finished but he was the champion and thought deserved to be given the opportunity to recover. Though McCall was King fighter.....
I thought the referee stopping JuanMa vs Salido earlier this year was pretty shit. I know he has taken some big shots but considering he was the champion and was still throwing punches, I think the referee could let it go longer. By no means the worst I've seen just putting it out there for one of the bad stoppages of this year.
i remember short fuse sean hughes fighting a guy called billy cocoran (spelling)
cocoran was the name and had come down a weight looking for bigger fights sean huges was suppose to get beat
hughes had been beating on cocoran in one round, its suprising he stayed on his feet, cocoran throwing nothing back
then the next round cocoran hit hughes about 5 times and the ref stopped it, it was terrible, and its that kind of fight that makes me think boxing is corrupt
Ricky Hatton v Pac Man he should of been given at least a week to recover from that shot instead he only got 10 seconds ;D
They should have allowed Gatti more time against Mayweather, he could have landed that left hook.
One that wasn't terrible but that comes to mind as kinda suspect is Cotto vs Chop Chop
Not saying he ever had a chance but yea, Calzaghe/Manfredo was probably the biggest joke of a stoppage ive seen in the past 5 years. IT was downright criminal.Quote:

Khan - Barrera.
It was coincidentally stopped into the 5th round so Khan would get the win when it should of been stopped as soon as the cut occurred in the 1st round and been a no contest.
So an old and undersized Barrera had to go 5 rounds with one eye just so Khan could have a W on his record. Bullshit refereeing imo.
This title works both ways, worse stoppages as in way to late too,where the corner throws in or where the commentators are even saying come on Ref what are you doing!
Worse when someones out for way too long and the ref could of stopped it.
Agreed. Thats the worst decision Ive ever seen. Dave Paris should have been shot for thatQuote:

i dont know about worse, but most contreversial is sure taylor vs chavez
i dont agree, in think smith looked fucked and coulod have been hurtQuote:

Funny thing about the Calzaghe/Manfredo fight...Manfredo was fighting the fight he trained to fight. I saw him spar a number of time at Roach's gym leading up to that fight and he did the same thing every time; laid on the ropes, ducked and dodged and let the other guy punch at him.
If Judah had continued he could've been killed, 60 seconds would not have cleared his head. He was still concussed when chasing Jay Nady around the ring after the stoppage. If Tszyu had landed a shot half as big as the one that nailed him in the 2nd round then Judah's career could've ended there and then. He owes Jay Nady for extending his career for the last 10 years!Quote:

Mike Weaver and Michel Dokes one. The referee had his head somewhere the sun didn't shine.
Completely agree. I remember watching that fight on ppv and thinking the same thing. Fucking cunt move.Quote:

Lennox Lewis literally fell into the ref as he was finishing his count. Had the ref not been there, he would have went Trevor Berbick all over the place.Quote:
