If someone stands up for the Calzaghe/Manfredo stoppage, then we can exclude their opinion. That was an awful stoppage.

Yeah the Brits get real precious when it comes to Calzaghe. And to be fair nobody is evening criticizing Calzaghe, it's not his fault if the ref jumps in early. And again I'll say all those guys who might have gotten a bad stoppage... Calzaghe whips and probably finishes them anyway. All the refs really did in those cases was save them from a few more rounds of punishment. Manfredo had no chance vs Joe.
I was there at the Manfredo fight and it was a horrible stoppage for sure.

The thing is though people see that and assume that was what it was like in his earlier career but it wasn't the case at all.
