    Slappy Joe got a good KO ratio because he benefited of many controversial stoppages. It was for him that the press invented the term "British stoppage".

    Here are some of Joe's amazing TKO wins with the help of British refs:

    in his later career he hardly even sparred much because his hands couldn't take it. that's why his power decreased in the last 5 years of his career because he changed his punching style because of his hand trouble.

    Good stoppage that. Manfredo wasnt punching back and tell me how different that looks to when chavez stopped Manfredo. though nobody has much to say about that one.
    There is a Calzaghe stoppage that I dont think is very good in one of his very early fights but many seemed legit.

    Does seem like the case.
    I dont even think it was that he beat Jones and Hopkins but more the manner in which he beat them. Calzaghes hands were terrible yet he went up a weight and had Hopkins hanging on, looking for time out and holding when normally down the straight is where Hopkins is the stronger until he was dominanted by Calzaghe and with Jones, it was all down to skills as Calzaghe was closer to the end of his career than both Hopkins and Jones and yet a shot bloated Calzaghe dominated
