    Lots of bad decisions by well known refs seem to take place in the twilight of their careers..maybe i am a cynic.

    Joe Cortez; Hatton was winning EASY until Cortez cocked it up and handed the fight to Mayweather.

    Nady's declaration of love before Mayweather Baldomir left a nasty taste. Some of Cortez's performances, especially of late, have been a disgrace. Wouldn't say either are corrupt though probably biased. I think its a trait in US refs where they believe they are part of the show. See the Cortez performance in Hatton-Mayweather. Floyd was a class above, but Cortez ruined the fight.

    Nady, Cortez the guy in Williams v Tyson the dude who done Reid v Ottke.

    Id say Nady is utterly corrupt and Cortez just ****.

    it's a toss up between Eddie Cotton and Randy Neuman!

    watch Tyson-Lewis and Abraham-Miranda I for their respective "best" performances.
