Because he is a typical copy. Note in FYEO, AVTAK, TLD, etc etc they all have some Nazi or KGB steroid busted, killing machine, and it just gets old after a while.
Quoting JLMuench:

Thats true - look at Zao and Renard. Both are the typical steroid busted killing machine. However both are shown with more emotional depth.
In a fist fight, I'd wet my pants with Stamper - he could easily take anyone down. But the audience never comes up against Stamper, and he has no real physical threat to them. He is a two dimensional character, with not even an attempt to show any real emotions. Even Caver was better then that.
Like eeryone has said he is another blonde hard man and not much else. There is very little done to flesh out his character whatsoever. One thing of interest is the statement that Dr Kauffman was, "like a father", even though it is said with no emotion at all. This is wasted idea that could have ben used well, but only serves the purpose to set up a (rather good) one-liner, "Interesting role model".
I don't think the character was poor, I just think the actor's performance was poor. Very poor, and very bland. The actor playing Stamper simply did not invigorate me at all.
In a cut scene which i have on my ultimate edition dvd when carver catches one of his henchman asleep on the stealth boat stamper throws him to the floor and stamps on his neck or something i think that is how he got his name
