Unlike globetrotters hopkins,jones jr and well pretty much any american fighter of note who have home advantage everytime they fight
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: [yt]nBc4ds30_Gs[/yt] [yt]HOEOM2_OBFM[/yt] [yt]zHI2xtFHOnk[/yt]
at the hell was manfredo going to do. they may as well stopped it as soon as he stepped in the ring. and how is the refs dumb decision calzaghes fault
over here we don't let guys in yankeedoodleville pad their records against c level comp and call them atgs for it....
He was an ATG slapper, that's for sure. Right up there with this guy: http://southpark.cc.com/clips/210224/youre-about-to-get-slapped
appalling fakery. no wonder joe turned to coke after pyssing on his own fans by setting up his pal ref to stop his fake defences like that.
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.
Another ignorant incorrect post. Wrong. atsch Dont bother posting when you dont even know what you are posting about
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
