Come on, no one can justify the Manfredo stoppage. That was a pathetic stoppage. I remember watching it live and couldn't believe it.
I guess you missed the sarcasm in my post.

Alot of fights in the UK are like this. It's down to horrific refereeing more than anything. Frankie Gavin is a decent boxer, but he can't crack an egg. I haven't seen him legit stop someone yet and he has 10KO's of 14. Calzaghe is an all time great, and there was nothing in any of those fights to suggest the outcome was going to be any different. The Manfredo fight was a joke fight, and Calzaghe said in the aftermath interview that he didn't think it should have been stopped. Lets not pretend Manfredo was going to win though.
