Bad Stoppages.

Calzaghe --The Beanflicker thread lays it out!

Lays what out? Someone using conjecture and a clear agenda to make a groundless assertion? Where are all the complaints from Calzaghe's opponents? Ask Woodhall what he thinks? The OP even admits not to having seen Joe pre Lacy, which is about 85/90% of his career.

You named one fighter? Woodhall? Okay ask Peter Manfredo jr. Not that you know him LOL Youtube his response. Not telling any fibs, but yet another one of my priviliged pilgrimmages to the BHOF, Peter wasn't angry about it, but humorously talked about how bad the stoppage was.
So there : 1-1.

And if fighters not complaining is the apex to determining if a fight was stopped prematurely: Check out docu called Fighting Ali.
Norton didn't complain, and Lyle not only didnt complain I remember his quote.
Lyle: Had it not been for Ali, would I be sitting here talking to you? oh yeah? 'bout what?"

When Frazier lost the rumble in the jungle the post fight he cleary stated "I got no complaints"

Now does that mean he didn't or was just a real trooper in the same way with Joe's oppopnents, not complaining doesnt mean Joe did not have early stoppages-
Not every fighter complains is my point.


But here's my agenda in this clip- Joe is dropped, 2 minutes in this clip, then Byron is dropped, Joe goes on a flurry and sends Byron reeling to the ropes, to which the ref stops. Are U friggin kidding me? Not even a standing 8? Bad stoppage, B.S. stoppage? OK how' bout homecookin' stoppage?

Are you fucking blind?

I mean seriously i know this fight inside out and after JC decks him he hits him about 40-50 times and Mitchell throws ONE punch back then nearly goes over like a tree with his legs clearly gone and smashes backwards into the corner of the ring , Calzaghe is waiting in front of him to do more damage but the ref waves it off.

That's what i call a good and sensible stoppage and exactly what the ref is in there to do.

this was the first calzaghe fight i ever watched and i thought it was a terrible stoppage. byron tripped. thats why he fell backwards into the ropes. he may have gotten hit but he didnt stumble backwards because he was really hurt or anything. calzaghe didnt really land anything big, just some slaps and the ref stops it. byron was definitely in the fight and had calzaghe hurt earlier. the is one of the worst stoppages i have ever seen. if you think it was a good stoppage then you must just be a huge calzaghe fan that was scared he was going to lose if the fight wasnt stopped.
