    Best referee is the dude from Joshua vs Ruiz Jr 1.
    Worst, I don't know.

    We are in a golden age of bad referees. The world title of worst referee seriously changes and is disputed weekly.

    Tony Weaks is one of the worst referees in my opinion. He's a stupid ref.

    You are referring to Michael Griffin. I like him too. I think Jack Reiss is probably up there as well.

    I reckon the Scot, Victor Laughlin has been the best ref in boxing for years now. Yes, a couple of his fights had very bad endings for a couple of fighters (brain damage), wasn't his fault.
    Lawrence Cole is the worst.

    Tony Weeks, Laurence Cole, Howard Foster, Kenny Bayless are like the Fab Four right now, I'm sure I'm missing a few

    Laurence Cole is by far the worst, even with this past weekends' shenanigans.

    Jack Reiss probably the best currently, There's another guy and I just can't remember his name, but
    he reffed alot of espn cards.

    Steve Smoger was the best for quite a while (RIP)

    Just seeing Laurance Cole's name causes me nausea, add crooked Weeks to the sickness inducing refs.

    Jack Reiss is superior in every category to 95% off all remaining referees. Tony Weeks should be thrown in to traffic.
