    Worst - The ones who stop Floyd from holding.

    Worst Laurence Cole, Pat Russell and Ray Corona lately.

    Best Smoger, Byrd and Reiss but they're not even that good.

    Bayless became one of the worst with his actions in the mw maidna rematch

    Lawrence Coe is horrible and that UK ref who,officiated Bute Andrade

    And let's not forget the majority of refs who officiated Joe C's fights

    He's Canadian, and Bute's personal ref....uncle Marlon Wright.

    Agreed, on both counts....Cole has no business reffing fights.

    Another good mention is Alfredo Perez, he worked the Danny Williams, Konstantin Airich fight.

    Smoger and Bayless have been well agreed upon for several years now as two of the best...

    Smoger is p4p 1.
    Worst refs: Laurence Cole, Fat Terry O'Connor, Howard Foster, Ian John Lewis.
    Please watch the Ovil McKenzie vs Enzo Maccarinelli first fight for the worst stoppage of all time by Ian John.

    Joe Cortez was an awful home town ref. Individually I don't have a problem with the way he ref'd either the Mayweather-Hatton, or Hopkins-Calzaghe fights, but he employed an entirely different rule set in both fights to favor the Yank.

    Had he switched roles and favored the Brits, it would've been Mayweather only winning by SD, and Calzaghe by stoppage.
