    Would you have preferred to watch Vitali slowly bleed to death in the ring?

    Referee Richard Steele asked Taylor TWICE, if he was alright, and both times, Taylor did NOT respond.

    Its the referee's job to stop any fight when a fighter is unable to continue.

    Richard Steele did NOT know how much time there was left in the round.
    Steele didnt know if there was 10 or 30 seconds left.
    All Steeloe knew is that if he had let Taylor continue, Chavez could've seriously hurt him permanently.

    Its easy for you and any other biased fan to criticize Steele for stopping the fight, cause you and everyone else has a TV monitor to see and know how much time/seconds there are left in the round, BUT the referee can't see a TV monitor at the same time he is refereeing a fight.

    Thats why, after that incident, the boxing commission, nationwide came up with a new rule, where the timekeeper will pound on the canvas with his closed fist, when there are 10 seconds left in the round, so that referees now will know that the round will be over in 10 seconds.

    The stoppage was appropriate, cause Steele didnt know there were 10 seconds left, and had to look outr for Taylor's safety, and his(Steele's) own referee job was on the line if he didnt protect a fvcked-up Taylor that night.

    I dont consider those robberies.

    Martinez/Cintron was a robbery

    Dirrell/Froch was a robbery

    Holyfield/lewis was a Robbery

    Neither because Taylor should have responded better to Steeles question, he is not the time keeper... Taylor was winning on points but took a serious physical beating.

    Never been a Lewis fan but Klitchkos eye was totally ****ed up... and to let it go would have been crazy.


    I decided not to vote on this since neither man was robbed. Both put up great fights but the right guy won in both fights.

    Taylor vs Chavez, it isn't even a comparison. If the doctor didn't stop the fight, Vitali probably wouldn't be boxing anymore because of that injury.

    There was only a couple second left in the Taylor-Chavez fight, and Taylor would have had a huge decision win over Chavez. Even if Taylor didn't establish he was completely alright to the referee (it was clear he was though), it's still the referees duty to make sure Chavez is at the neutral corner after a knockdown, and to make sure he knows how much time is left in the round. If he let the fight go on, Chavez would probably charge across the ring, even though he wouldn't get any damage done, and teh fight would be over.
    Simple as that. Taylor had it won.

    Lou Duva deserves some of the blame. Not just for his gameplan for Taylor in the 12th round, but also for his decisions with Taylor after Chavez which sped up the process of Taylor being shot.

    "Taylor is struggling as a champ at welterweight, getting dropped twice and rocked several times against Glenwood Brown...why lets have him move up yet again and fight Terry Norris??!!"

    **** you Lou Duva!!

    we're on our very own land:rasta:

    Mexico should've secured their borders in the early 1800's to prevent Tresspassers/Thieves like John Fremont, Sam Houston, Zachary Taylor, etc. from coming over on hillbilly wagons from back east, to the Mexican states of California, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, so they can steal Mexico's Gold and Land from the Mexicans during the 1840's California Gold Rush, after Mexican discovered and possesed Billions of Dollars of Gold in their (Mexicans') very own land, by which the US illegally now posseses and lives off of.

    There was a law in the early 1800's that said this is Mexico's land, and this is the US's land (as shown on the map), but you thieves broke that law.

    Chavez went to about 84-0 before his was robbed against a STeroid-Cheating Randall.

    Chavez has about 38 World Title fights on his record, which is more than any other fighter in history.

    Ricardo Lopez and Joe Louis come about 2nd, with about 24 world title fights.

    There is no one that can match and break Chavez's record.

    You're just :lol::lol:jealous of Mexico's Julio Cesar Chavez's accomplishments cause you know that there is no one that can match his records.

    For you to say, that Chavez
